NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 vs NVIDIA GeForce GTX 550 Ti
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti
► remove from comparison
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 780 Ti is a high-end desktop graphics card based on the Kepler architecture in 28 nm. It uses the full GK110 chip with 2880 CUDA cores and was the fastest single chip card at the beginning of 2014. The 780 Ti is much faster than the similar named laptop graphics card Nvidia GeForce GTX 780M (based on the GK104 like the desktop GTX 770 but with lower clock rates).
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590
► remove from comparisonThe Nvidia GeForce GTX 590 is a high-end desktop graphics card that was announced early 2011. It is based on two GF110 chips (Fermi architecture) in SLI on a single board. Compared to two GTX 580 in SLI, the GTX 590 offers reduced clock rates and therefore is a bit slower.
