Details of the next-gen GeForce GPU from NVIDIA are here, as well as a release date: May 23. Fudzilla were privvy to some leaked slides, which points to the GTX 780 featuring 2304 CUDA cores and an 863MHz base GPU clock. The GeForce GTX 780 will feature NVIDIA's GPU Boost 2.0 that will ramp the GPU clock speed up to 900MHz.

We should expect the GTX 780 to come with 3GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 6000MHz coupled with a 384-bit memory bus. Power wise, the GTX 780 is going to require both 6- and 8-pin PCI-Express power connections and has TDP of 250W. Connectivity options include two dual-link DVI, HDMI and DisplayPort outputs.

The GeForce GTX 780 reference card will use the same cooler that is featured on the GTX Titan, and should keep noise levels down to around 40-45 dBA. This means the reference GTX 780 will be much quieter than the GTX 680. We should expect the GeForce GTX 780 to be around 25% to 50% faster than the Radeon HD 7970 GHz Edition, except for Tomb Raider, where the AMD will excel against most GeForce GPU's.

25% faster than the 7970GE is a little too high considering Titan is around 32% faster than it and 43% faster than the 680. I'm guessing the 780 is around 20% faster than the 680 and even less than the 7970GE.

Worthy card if the price is 599 and your coming from a 580/6900 series other than that i can't see it worth the price of admission when it's going to be trumped with new architecture six months later with Volcanic Islands and Maxwell.

I don't know why but anytime when i attempt to overclock my 9800 gt with different types of tools, my computer at that time start to froze completely. You can't do anything, only thing you can do is restart computer and will work for some hour and then will froze again, and only way to fix that is to reinstall windows... Why is that happening? Can that happen if you suddenly raise the clock too much?, this card never had temp problems it was always on 40c, if you overclock it will still keep very good temp. Do you guys have an solution for me, why is that happening and what tool should i use? I didn't attempt to overclock now because computer is now working fine, I'm waiting for your answers. Here is my spec:
Gpu: Nvidia 9800gt 1GB
Cpu: Intel i7 @860 2.8 ghz (sorry i still didn't figure it out what is K for my cpu)
Ram: 4Gb DDR3
Motherboard: Asus P7H55
Power supply: 500w or more i can't see now

IGN sources suggest that well over half the company has been let go, with some suggesting numbers as high as 80%.

The San Diego studio -- where development of MMO Defiance took place -- is said to have been hit the hardest. A source suggests that employees are being escorted out of the building and that senior leaders from various Trion teams may not receive severance due to "undelivered services." Another source tells us the layoffs were at all studios, "mostly Defiance support staff and dev staff."

A Trion representative confirmed the layoffs and provided the following statement to IGN:

"To best position Trion in a rapidly changing industry, we have reorganized our teams and are expanding our free to play offering. With Defiance, we delivered a great game that more than one million gamers registered to play and continue to enjoy. As we progress from launch to ongoing development of the game, we are adjusting our staffing levels to deliver new content and improved features. RIFT, and our other titles in development, were unaffected by these changes. We are very much looking forward to the free to play release of RIFT and are excited by the other new titles currently in development."

This is the second recent round of layoffs at Trion, following layoffs from the Rift development team in December. Earlier this week, Trion announced that Rift will soon transition to a free-to-play model.

If anyone with additional knowledge of the situation would like to contact us, submit a news tip.

Hope AT wasn't part of this. :(

To cut a long story short i got a Vapor-x 6850 for cheap off a friend(fully working no issues at all) with the plan of crossfiring it.
Had it all installed and got a 2nd one off ebay and slotted it into my mobo. All worked perfect but i was waiting on a crossfire cable to arrive. to test the card i ran a 2nd monitor and i also tried them at litecoin mining and was getting a steady 470hash from both cards combined. So i knew they were both working correctly just not crossfired yet.
Got my crossfire wire today and installed it and 4hours later im baffled.
Dont worry ive done all the installing drivers,sweeping drivers,changing which card in which slot, At present it works perfectly fine without the crossfire enabled as soon as you hit enable crossfire it BSOD its so fast i cant see what its saying(and wouldnt understand it anyway). However its got more weird the it seems to have blown the fuse on a extension lead ive used forever with this pc. I changed to differnt extension lead and was just using the pc as normal and i heard a fizzing sound and pc went off. pressumed the fuse had gone but actually the plug socket had gone to the off position(turned it back and its running fine at present. So any ideas?

win 7
970a-ud3
8gig ram
vapor-x 6850
Asus 6850 directcu 2
SSD
1055t
800w power

CONFUSION!
PS i promise ive read countless threads on this issue and no one is getting the exact same issue and ive tried all the usual remedies.

Suggestion for a SSD for my Windows drive, please?

Additional Comment:

Newegg seems to think the Sammy 840 is good.

Clocks are 1125/1575 I get 60% usage in BF3, 50-60% in ARMA 2/3, 85-99% in FC3. I upped the NB to 2600mhz on 1.3v but a member on OCN said his 7950 @ 1150/1495 doesn't bottleneck at all with his X4 @ 3.4 so i assume i'm having problems? Idk all my games play pretty much at 60fps minus Crysis 3.

Thing is, is that i Upped to 3.8 to see if it would relieve the bottleneck and i was getting 10-15% more percent GPU usage in some games, so i still feel like it's the CPU. ]]> AMD Processors Blackops_2 http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=369330 Raid 0 offline http://forums.extremeoverclocking.com/showthread.php?t=369329&goto=newpost Fri, 17 May 2013 15:29:16 GMT hi i had my raid 0 "hitachi 320gig x2" up and running great but after i moved my pc to my friends house to game all night i hooked it up and my raid was off-line :eek: so i googled it and several forums said to delete the raid config and set it up again and it should work like new :whailin ya nope now it only shows 1 of my hitachi drives and my 1tb backup drive so after installing windows to 1 of my 2 drives i still cant access anything from my old os
