Based on the name you probably expect an entirely new architecture, but the GTX 780 is based on the same GK110 GPU that's the foundation of the GeForce Titan. The new card has slightly fewer CUDA Cores (Nvidia's term for its unified shaders), somewhat less video memory and lower clock speeds.

This is their flagship for the GTX 700-series. While TITAN should remain at the top of NVIDIA's single-GPU lineup, the GTX 780 – based off of the same GK110 GPU – shouldn't be any slacker.

The new card not only inherits the fantastic looks of the Titan, but is also very close to it in overall performance. NVIDIA's pricing is certainly not cheap at $649.

Vector availability is about to get scarce and Vertex 3.20 can't be profitable at less than $1 per GB.

Interestingly, it picks up on several of the new Sense 5 features revealed alongside the HTC One, including its fingertip-baiting BlinkFeed for social network and news updates. BoomSound and the ability to craft video highlights from your photos and clips also make the transition, although apparently not the burst-capture Zoe mode.
