NVIDIA would launch their GeForce GTX 780 flagship GPU of the GeForce 700 series tomorrow but thanks to Videocardz, we have a first look at the performance numbers of the GPU which look really impressive.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Performance On Par With GeForce GTX Titan

If you had been following us then you would know that the GeForce GTX 780 is based on a slightly cut down version of the GK110 core which was featured on the GeForce GTX Titan. The GTX 780 would be the flagship product of the 700 series and would be based on a cut down version of the GK110 core codenamed “GK110-300-A2″. This core would have 2304 cores and a 3 GB GDDR5 memory which would operate along a 384-bit memory interface. The core is maintained at 863 MHz with Turbo boost of 900 MHz while the memory operates at the reference 1502 MHz or 6 GHz effective clock speed. The GPU would be powered by an 8+6 Pin connectors which represent a 250W TDP while display connectors include Dual Link DVI, HDMI and a single display port.

The model tested in specific was from manufacturer “GIgabyte” and the card is essentially a reference model which makes use of the Titan cooling scheme. You can see its specifications below:

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 780 Specs:

• Base Clock: 863 MHz
• Boost Clock: 889 MHz (GPU Boost 2.0)
• Memory Clock: 6008 MHz
• CUDA Cores: 2304
• Bus Type: PCI-E 3.0
• Memory: 3GB GDDR5
• Memory Bus: 384-bit
• TDP: 250 W (6+8pin connectors)
• Display Outputs: DVI-I, DVI-D, HDMI, DisplayPort
• Height: 112 mm
• Length: 267 mm
• Cooler: 2 slot

According to the latest performance figures in 3DMark 11, 3DMark FireStrike and 3DMark Vantage, the card is just around 3.3% on average slower than the $1000 GeForce GTX Titan while being upto 26% faster than GeForce GTX 680 and 27% faster than Radeon HD 7970 GHz edition. With such an improvement the GTX 780 could change the mind of those looking forward to buy GTX TItan since the card would cost way too less at $599-$659 compared to the $1000 cost of the Titan. The only advantage the GTX Titan has is the 6 GB VRAM other than which its performance is matched by the cut down GK110 core on the GTX 780. Following is the performance breakdown:

3DMark FireStrike (Extreme):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX Titan: 4250 Marks
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780: 4087 Marks

EVGA has teased their latest and upcoming Z87 Classified motherboard which would be the flagship motherboard in the company’s Z87 product stack. In addition to the motherboard tease, EVGA also provided a glimpse at their new UEFI BIOS which offers a nice improvement compared to their Z77 boards.

EVGA Teases Z87 Classified Flagship Motherboard With New UEFI

EVGA’s Z87 Classified is a top of the line motherboard featuring military grade components and an Digital PWM supply that is powered through dual 8-Pin connectors to provide overclockers the most headroom for overclocks. EVGA Z87 Classified features a red and black color theme, there’s only a slight pint of red color on the heatsinks, other than that the complete motherboard has a matter black color theme along with the PCB. The heatsinks on the motherboard are connected to each other via a large aluminum heatpipe that dissipates heat off electrical parts. For overclockers, there are several voltage adjustment switches located right next to the SATA ports and two 3-Pin right angled fan connectors are also located near them. OC, Power On/Off, Reset along with the Debug LED are located right next to the DDR3-DIMM slots.

For storage, there are a total of 6 SATA 6GBps ports and a USB 3.0 pin header. The 24-Pin power connector is also right angled so that it allows easy connection to the power cable for neater cable management. A right angled Six-Pin connector is also situated beneath the motherboard that provides additional power to the PCI-e slots. Expansion slots include five PCI-e 3.0 x16, 1 PCI-e 3.0 x1 and a mPCIe slot to hold expansion cards and GPUs. The motherboard features both SLI and CrossFireX multi GPU functionality. For I/O, there’s a ton of connectivity options which include Dual-Thunderbolt ports, 8 USB 3.0 ports, an 8.1 Audio jack and dual GIgabit ethernet LAN ports.

Latest benchmarks of NVIDIA’s upcoming GeForce GTX 770 graphics card have been unveiled by Chiphell (via Videocardz). The GeForce GTX 770 that launches on 31st May would be the follow up card to the GeForce GTX 780 that launches on 23rd May 2013.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770 Gaming Performance Unveiled

The GeForce GTX 770 would make use of the GK104-425-A2 GPU that features 1536 Cuda cores, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs along with a 2GB GDDR5 memory that operates along 256-bit interface. From previous reports, we know that the reference models would be clocked at 1059 MHz core and 1076 MHz boost while the memory would be effectively clocked at 7 GHz which would give a good performance boost over the GeForce GTX 680. Unlike the GeForce GTX 780 which would be restricted to reference models at launch, the GeForce GTX 770 would be made available in both reference and non-reference models. Some manufacture’s would stick to the reference GeForce GTX 680 coolers to cut down the cost or use the NVTTM Titan cooler on the reference card. We know of atleast one model which comes from MSI that uses the custom Lightning series design while the one tested by the forum member here is another non-reference model.

The user mentions that the GeForce GTX 680 made use of HY ROC particles for memory which limited its overclocking limit upto 7.2 GHz max. The GeForce GTX 770 makes use of the HY R2C particles which can extend the overclocking limit so that at reference the GPU can be shipped at a clock speed of 7 GHz while allowing an on air OC of upto 8.00 GHz. The card tested makes use of a reference PCB but makes use of a tri-fan cooler that will improve its temperatures.

The card was tested in several gaming benchmarks along with 3DMark Firestrike testing, results can be seen below:

3DMark FireStrike (Extreme):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 3535 Marks
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 3150 Marks

3DMark FireStike (Performance):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 7078 Marks
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 6331 Marks

3DMark 11 (Extreme):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 3840 Marks
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 3411 Marks

3DMark 11 (Performance):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 10693 Marks
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 09777 Marks

FarCry 3 (1920×1080):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 70.9 FPS
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 79.8 FPS

CRYSIS 3 (1920×1080):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 42.9 FPS
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 39.1 FPS

TOMB RAIDER (1920×1080):

• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 770: 87.3 FPS
• NVIDIA GeForce GTX 680: 78.3 FPS

Overall, we are looking at an average 10% increase over the GTX 680 from a reference GTX 770. Consider around +5/+10 % improvement in factory overclocked models based on their clock frequencies.

MSI’s upcoming GeForce GTX 770 lightning which is a custom version of the GPU featuring Twin Frozr IV cooling and a non-reference PCB has been spotted.

MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning Spotted in the Wild

The GeForce GTX 770 Lightning from MSI comes with a non-reference PCB that uses the GK104-425-A2 cooler that features 1536 Cuda cores, 128 TMUs and 32 ROPs along with a 2GB GDDR5 memory that operates along 256-bit interface. From previous reports, we know that the reference models would be clocked at 1046 MHz core and 1085 MHz boost while the memory would be effectively clocked at 7 GHz which would give a good performance boost over the GeForce GTX 680. However, the MSI GeForce GTX 770 Lightning being a custom model would make use of a factory overclock out-of-box. Chances are that the base clock would be configured over 1100 MHz.

Additionally, the GeForce GTX 770 lightning would make use of the flagship Twin Frozr IV cooling from MSI that uses two large 10cm PWM fans with Propeller Blade Technology that cool the advanced cooling body of the Twin Frozr IV. The cooler is made up of high density fin grid array that provides heat dissipating area that is fed by heat-pipes featuring MSI’s SuperPipe technology. It also comes with dust removal technology which makes the fan run in reverse for 30 seconds after booting to remove dust from the heat sinks. Furthermore, the GPU shipped with MSI’s GPU Reactor module that adds more power to the VRM increasing its overclocking potential and reducing static noise.

The GPU comes with 4-Way SLI support and is powered by dual 8-Pin connectors compared to dual 6-Pin on the reference models. Display outputs include Dual DVI, HDMI and a display port. The reference GeForce GTX 770 would cost $399-$449 at launch so we can expect a premium price point for this model. There have been reports that NVIDIA would paper launch the GeForce GTX 770 during the GeForce GTX 780 launch on 23rd May while the availability date would be set on 31st May 2013.

2. You will then extract Odin zip file to get Odin3 v3.07.exe.
3. Switch your phone off. And make sure that you wait 5-6 seconds to confirm complete the power down cycle.
4. You will then put your Galaxy S3 I9300 phone in Download Mode by pressing and holding down the Volume Down button, alongside Home and the Power button, until the screen flashes the Samsung Logo. After a few seconds of that, the phone will enter download mode.
5. Run Odin3 v3.07.exe with Administrator rights.
6. Now that you are all prepared to root your phone, connect your Galaxy S3 I9300 with your PC. You will then see a notification appear in Odin in the bottom left saying “Added!!”. If for some reason, you do not see the said notification, try another USB port. If that too doesn’t work, then reinstall the USB driver. Once you successfully see the “Added!!” notification in Odin, you are good to go. Also, check for COM port being depicted by a number in ‘yellow’ to make sure that you have successfully added your device.
7. Select the following files in Odin at their respective tabs from extracted XXUFME3 firmware folder :
   • Click the ‘PDA’ Button, and select the .tar file extracted in Step 1.
   • Click the ‘Phone’ Button, and select file with *modem* in its name (Ignore, if this file does not file exist).
   • Click the ‘CSC’ Button, and select file with *csc* in its name (Ignore, if this file does not file exist).
   • Click the ‘PIT’ Button, and select the .pit file. Use only if you got it while extracting in step 1 above, otherwise ignore it.
   • In Odin window, make sure Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time checkboxes are selected. Please make sure that Re-Partition checkbox is selected, only if you are using a .pit file.
8. Hit the ‘START’ button to begin the flashing process.
   Once the flashing process is completed, the phone will automatically reboot and you will see a ‘Green’ PASS notification in the top-left-most box. You can unplug the device from the computer now.
