In Japan the 780 is launching for 85,000 yen to 93,000 yen in that price range from what I've seen. I picked up my MSI Lightning 7970 BE (GE card) for just over 40,000 yen not to long ago so the 780 is more than double what I paid, ouch! To be fair the Titan and 7990 launched at around the 120,000 yen to 135,000 yen price range. It's still way overpriced though as it does not offer a significant improvement over the 7970 GE to justify double the price. At least the Titan has the additional compute power (that's gimped on the 780) as well as the massive 6gb of ram to justify it's price. |
Not to mention both Xbox One and PS4 use HD7xxx based gpu's, causing alot of games to be more optimized for AMD hardware.
