The good news is, with the release of the GTX 780 Ti, the GTX 780 's price is getting more discount. The GTX 780 is much more expensive than the GTX 680 as it costs a whopping $ 649. Compare this to the GTX 680, which came originally at a price of $ 499. Meanwhile, the AMD closest equivalent card is the HD 7970 GHz Edition which costs $ 499.
Spec for spec, this GTX 780 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 680, by boasting 8.2 % more fps. The GTX 780 has 3 GB RAM compared to the GTX 680 's 2 GB video memory.
Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 780 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 680 and it really justifies an upgrade. Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 7970 GHz Edition, the GTX 780 was -5.9 % slower.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Strange Brigade, Valorant at 62 fps to 97 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 80 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 79 fps to 79 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 79 fps.
For 2160p 4K, we were able to play Valorant at 69 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 69 fps.
The GTX 580 might be the high-end flagship of the latest Fermi 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most mid-range PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 570 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 349. NVIDIA ’s xx70 cards have always been defined by mid-range prices with performance that knocks on the door of high-end graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 570, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this GTX 570 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 470, by boasting 43.1 % more fps. In our synthetic benchmarks, the GTX 570 blows past the GTX 470 and, amazingly, even the GTX 480 as well.
Compared to its AMD 's closest rival, HD 6970, the GTX 570 was 6.2 % faster. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 570 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 470 and it really justifies an upgrade.
