Nvidia's GTX 780 Boosts Performance With Less Tweaking

Nvidia's new GeForce GTX 780 graphics card provides better, faster performance without overheating. It also supports Nvidia's ShadowPlay technology, which lets the GPU analyze a system and update drivers so gamers don't have to do. "Gamers just want to get into the game and play. Messing with drivers and doing manual optimizations gets in the way of the experience," said tech analyst Rob Enderle.

With a slew of advanced action games for the PC on deck for release later this year, including Activision's just announced Call of Duty: Ghosts and Electronic Arts' Battlefield 4, Nvidia has introduced a graphics card that will provide top-notch performance for gamers.

The GeForce GTX 780 GPU is the latest evolution in Nvidia's line of powerful Kepler-enabled processors. It features 2,304 cores, along with 3 GB of high-speed GDDR5 memory.
It also supports Nvidia's newest array of gaming technologies -- including the PhysX and Nvidia TXAAA -- and offers drivers to reduce frame time variations and provide a smoother frame delivery, according to the company.
The card is now shipping to partners and will be available in systems next month. The reported price of the GeForce GTX 780 is US$649.

"This card is squarely aimed at the hardcore gamer community -- not only because of the price point, but also all the bells and whistles that it offers," said Lewis Ward, research manager for gaming at IDC.
