I am very disappointed , 780 ti should be faster than 980 as promised by NVidia that 980 will be between 970 and 780 ti, and 780 ti is worse than 970.

i agree that somethign is up with the 700 series i spent nearly £370 on a 770 last year and now it plays as though its a 6 year old card, if nvidia stop supporting products this quickly into thier life then they will find customer going to AMD quikcer than you can say team RED! sort it out nvidia !!!

I agree that this practice should stop and that we owners of 7xx series should be compensated

The situation in regards to Nvidia purposely ignoring Kepler in order to increase sales and give the illusion that parity does not exists among the new maxwell is blatantly obvious.

I want to present this interesting data about drivers comparison. A few days ago i installed Windows 10 Pro Build 10240 X64 ,i also had fully updated it and i did these test today , on Unigine Valley Benchmark, maxed out in DX11 on 1080p. I just want to see performance on my single Fermi GTS 450 gpu. here is performance on this old 344.47 icafe, driver that i had found it is best for Fermi GPU-s GTX 400 and 500 series.. Best driver ever ,for now. 344.47 icafe on windows 10 score http://tinypic.com/r/2ldesfl/8 and here is score on latest nvidia Windows 10 DX12 ready driver 353.54 WHQL http://tinypic.com/r/10d8bcl/8 i also have up to + 5 to 6 more average frames in gaming on windows 10 on ICafe 344.47 driver compared to latest 353.54 WHQL driver . I have Windows 7 ultimate, and Windows 10 Pro Build 10240 X64 on another hdd, dual system. I had repeat all tests on both driver for 3 times same scores. Drivers are uninstalled from safe mode,with latest DDU. I had also checked Clean install during driver installation too. So as we can see NVIDIA is still holding back GPU performance on older GPU-s. NVIDIA are already cripple Kepler, and its confirmed, and even cripple Fermi. So looks like NVIDIA is only favors and give real performance improvements only toward flagship Maxwell. But what else to expect from corporation who has slowly crippled Kepler after 347.88 whql driver, and was forced to release a kepler Witcher 3 hotfix driver later,,, NVIDIA who has cripple Kepler GPU-s in Witcher 3 and project cars, to advertise Maxwell, and NVIDIA who has sell gtx 970 with fake specs, and slower 0.500 MB vram partition until last moment. This is very shameful and shady, NVIDIA. thats NVIDIA the way customer is meant to be played... SHAME ON YOU NVIDIA!!!

And keep give inprove ments only for Maxwell based GPU-s i have + 5 to 6 more avg fps in gaming on windows 10 on icafe 344.47 driver compared to 350. series. Truly shamefull, and pure scammers, thats NVIDIA the way customer is meant to be played.. i had presented Fermi GPU cripple in action.

Listen, I am fucking pissed at nVidia.. I paid a whopping $640 Canadian for 2 EVGA GTX 760 2GB for SLI thinking that at my 'lowly' res of 1680x1050 these 2 cards would shine. I'm not rich for fuck sakes. I'm on a piddly disabilty pension. I saved up for 3 years to get these cards thinking they would last me at least 5 years til i could save up and move on the GTX 1260. I'm going to AMD (I never thought I'd say that) but I'm looking for 2 used R9 290 4GB and I'm not even gonna bother trying to sell my 2 worthless 'GPUs'. I AM PISSED at you, nVidia.

for NVIDIA Where is your knowl edge now?? You NVIDIA mor ons BUAHAHA. Tell me,did all secu rity meas ures had help? Where are you now, fa ilyre as always Hacker serb ia has defea t you, NVIDIA tea m HAHAHAHAHA BUAHAHAHAHAAA BUAHAHAHA Only money can permanently stop my att acks. Account below. Customers has realised what you are doing, NVIDIA. NVIDIA KEPLER,FERMI GPU CRIPPLING SCAMMERS!!!!! YOUR BEEN C AUGHT!!! AMD GCN STILL RECIEVE IMPROVEMENTS ACCROSS ALL GENERATIONS NVIDIA GIMPED KEPLER IN DRIVERS,AND WITCHER 3, PROJECT CARS GTX 960 LOW END CARD IS BEATING 780 TI, END OF STORY FOR ME, NVIDIA SCAM. GIMPING SCAM. NVIDIA are experts how to gimp previous GPU gen,and falsely promote new flagship Poor drivers , effects man ipulations.. Why NVIDIA is using X64 times teselation in gameworks,Witcher 3 Hairworks,, its man ipulation to sell GPU-s NVIDIA needs to have some effects to bring down previous high end gpu-s to its kn ees,to always sell next gpu-s simple as that. Thats why gameworks is bad optimized. NVIDIA expert knows, that customer cannot notice visual difference between X8 vs X64 tesselation, but performance impact is significant, to sell flagship gpu-s. GameWorks is also created as performance gimping tool to be updated,to always sell new gpu-s Witcher 3 X64 TESSELATION in Hairworks SELLS better flagship Maxwell GPUS, NVIDIA USING THAT,PhusX is light only in Alice Madness returns.... all these effects could be much more light, but what NVIDIA have from that,to we run on cheap old hardware, programming man i pulations. Kepler has been intentionally downgraded and abandoned since 347.88 driver Maxwell has been heavily favored in new 350 series drivers and games, and even for gotten old Fermi is driver gimped, 3-6 more average fps in all games, only on single driver 344.47 icafe, combined with physx from 350.05 Scr ew you NVIDIA! NVIDIA your reputat i

I can't believe this. I just spent $900 2 years ago for my Asus GTX 670 4GB and now this! I'm still mad they sold the GTX 680 as there flagship card with only a 256 bit memory bus width :(. For the $900 i spent, I should of had 2 780ti's
