I'm lost when it comes to the specs of the GPUs, but I find those specs a bit odd.

Less ROPs and memory bandwidth than even a GTX780? And less texture engines(?) than any ofthe cards of that table?

**Long and interesting read**

We see that the 750 Ti actually outperforms the 650 by a comfortable margin and using just over half the power to do it on the same 28nm node. Considering that the 880 GTX has more Cuda cores and a higher clock rate than the 780 Ti it should outperform it by an even wider margin in most cases. Now there may be some cases where the 880 may be a little less impressive due to having less ROPs and lower bandwidth such as very high resolutions+AA but we will have to wait and see how that works out. I just hope that price isn't accurate, I was hopeing that Maxwell would push performance per $ up a lot more than that, seems like the price inflation of GPUs will continue (stupid crypto currency driving up AMD's prices removing the price pressure from Nvidia).

Specs do seem pretty dissapointing if the leak is accurate on price.

Thanks for the explanation, I always have this problem every time they come with a new architecture

But I see a problem that you mention, if that may have a negative impact on high resolutions. Let's be honest here, the market for those cards are multi-montor users and/or owners of monitors with extremely high res. like 4K or the new 21:9 from LG and Dell (3440x1440 on 34"). So if those cards are worse than a 780Ti/Titan, then what's the point of those high end cards?

But of course Nvidia is smart enough to not make this silly mistake.

As for the price... you know. Nvidia + high end + new node = absurd prices. And that won't change unless people start to use the common sense. So it won't change
