NVidia 800 series video cards coming in Fall 2014

Possibly. The info is of course speculative, but seems to come from some reliable sources that have proved trustworthy in the past.

In a logical world this would drive down the price of the 780, but when it comes to affecting wallet the universe is highly irrational.
Eventually something cool will go in here. It's a matter of time.

Unfortunately, the prices on the 700 series will most likely not drop for a long time after the 800s hit the market. It usually takes awhile for the last gen cards to drop in prices after new ones are released. It would be nice but that's just the way it is.

I'm bummed out over the fact that it's not 20nm. GM204, 4GB Vram, 256 bit... I'd wait it out for the 900 series in 2015. Hopefully large die GM210, 512 bit, 8+ GB Vram in the 980 or next Titan. I know I'm personally not going to be upgrading until I can purchase a single card that comes close to handling 4k @ 60fps. Unfortunately, that's probably 2 generations away at best.

GTX 800 series is on the "tock" for nvidia sans the die shrink. Twins you could always go spend 3k for a TITAN Z

The 700 series was a refresh for the 600 series so the 700 series would be the "tock". AFAIK, Intel is the only company that uses the "tick-tock" cycle as a hard rule though; but, I know what you mean. The 600 series moved into 28nm territory and the 700 expanded on it. Therefore, if we expected the same "tick-tock" expectations from NVIDIA, we should get a die shrink with the 800s.

I would buy a R9 295x2 for less than half the cost of the Titan Z and absolutely crush it. IDK why they advertise the Titan Z as the "ultimate gaming solution" when it doesn't even come close. It is most definitely more of a GPU computing card than anything else.

Or buy my 780Ti's.

If I were upgrading now, I would consider that. I plan on going 4k on the next build though (and Id rather wait until much better 4k monitors are available) so it's going to be awhile. Probably will be doing it once we see the higher end 900s hit the market....maybe even later.

Thats my plan, skipping this inital 800 series release.

It looks like a odd release for Nvidia, the new chips will have ARM cores so that is a major departure.  They seem to be focusing on the high end chips.
