Is the 7800 a new version of the 7700? What features are new and better to compensate for the higher price?

The big change in the 7800 is the addition of an electronic viewfinder (EVF). The 7700 has no viewfinder. A viewfinder can show the scene when bright sunlight washes out the rear LCD screen, and is just generally preferred by many photographers. Other changes: - To make room for the EVF the 7700's quick menu dial was removed. It is replaced by a quick menu button that provides the same functions. - The 7800 has a RGBW rear screen instead of the 7700's RGB screen. The RGBW screen is supposedly brighter and easier to read in the sun because it includes white pixels along with the red, green and blue pixels. - The 7800's screen can be brightened an extra step in the menus. - The 7800 is rated for 350 shots per battery charge vs. 330 for the 7700. - The 7800 has an additional frame rate in the HD video options. - The 7800 can accept Nikon's optional plug-in wireless module to communicate with phones and tablets. - The 7800 is a fraction of an inch taller and a fraction of an ounce heavier. The 7800 has the same sensor as the 7700 but it scores one point higher on DXOmark's testing. The 7800 is constructed of the same materials as the 7700 including the magnesium frame.

It's pretty much the same except that the body is made of magnesium alloy and it's a little taller.

I am also on the fence - however, the 1100 was $179.00 at Tagert - got taken and $152 on Amazon and the 770 is onlt $159.00 - but I do like the blue - is the 10 megapixels that much of a difference? Is the body on the 1100 plastic?

This is one of the top 3 or 4 notebook video cards out there at the moment. If money is no object the 780 is the fastest in the nvidia family but the 770 is still well worth getting. You can go to notebookcheck.net and check out the specs and framerates of all the latest cards. You wont be dissapointed w the 770 or 780 good luck w your decision.

I would say GTX780 SC because you would get more life out of it. The 770 is virtually the same as GTX680 so its a great card but if you don't want to buy another card for a while go for GTX780 SC. I personally bought it because I use it in 2 Way SLI. If you were to use 770s in SLI than you get a better bang for your buck instead of GTX780s in SLI. But for single card go for 780 SC or even save a little while longer and get the GTX 780ti because it will basically play anything on max settings at 1080p and be a worthy card if you ever upgrade your monitor.

The 670 is slightly more powerful then the 760. But the 670 is $150 more. I'd be nore inclined to compare 670 vs 770 as they r in the same price range and the 770 is more powerful then the 670

I actually have a GTX 770 sitting right here.... I haven't installed it because my Radeon HD8760 has been rock solid. Honestly dont' think i will install the GTX unless something goes horribly wrong with the Radeon.

Gtx 970 easily. I own 2 780's, but you should almost always go for the newer tech, especially considering the 970 is slightly faster and it has 1GB extra vram.

My dilemma was mainly the SD770 or SD790. I didn't like the 1100 because it was too small, cheap feeling, only 8MP (I was upgrading from a 7MP), and I thought the colors were gimmicky.To me, the 770 is a grownup version of the 1100, but the 790 is a different class. I only wish the 790 had a viewfinder and even though I'm now used to the dial, I still wonder if I'm not doing something right when I use it for pics. I haven't been out on a big trip yet though, so the real test is still to come.

The 780 ti is faster and cheaper. It might be a bit closer at super high resolutions like 4k but still go for the 780 ti

Go blindly for 780ti if you have PCIe 3 type motherboard. If you got v2, the 780 still beats the two 560s in regards to resolution and memory bandwidth. However thr 560s would be "faster" if ypu do 3D modeling and stuff. But if you talk gaming wise, go 780ti and later consider upgrading your mobo to PCIe v3.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.

GTX 770 should be more then enough to handle 1080p on High Settings. But if you want a single GPU Card that will handle every next gen game on Ultra settings 1080p 60fps then GTX 780 is the clear choice.

Sure! My CPU is 4770k @ 4.4Ghz and it feels more than enough for a single 780. Have in mind that with so many on-coming games, most-likely designed on next-gen consoles, 3GB VRAM could not be enough on 1080p and if I try to push "ultra" settings passing the 3GB mark then the nightmare begins (stutters, lag, etc.) I've seen most of the games I play topping-out my EVGA 780 3GB FTW ACX DUAL with "high" settings @ 1080p. Also many people claim that Watch_Dogs do favor 3+GB VRAM but I can't tell. I'm planning to sell my 780 FTW and get 780 6GB from another mfg. Hope this help!

Yes , it has the 770M. I was worried as well and called and they were not sure either. But as I have already received this product, it does indeed have the 770.

It might be overkill however, I currently play on a 1920x1080 screen and I enjoy never having to worry about frame studder or overloading. That being said a 770 will provide similar results at a lower price point. The main advantage this card has is the additional VRAM which can make the difference in longevity, but if your anything like me I prefer to have the best parts I can swing at a reasonable price and this card happened to fit that bill. If you think you can get it then go for it! But if you are sacrificing an SSD for this card id say get a 770 and buy an SSD or but two and raid 0 for really ludicrous speed because that's where you will appreciate the money more. I own the product and didn't skimp out anywhere else as far as specs go so I had it budgeted in before hand. In the end it's your decision. You can't really go wrong with this card, but if you think you would rather spend the extra coin somewhere else I would get a 770. Good luck and happy computer building!

Shouldn't be a problem, but if your spending money on to 780s you could(should) go a little more high end.

Yes. You should be fine. I believe the 770 requires at minimum a 600W PSU so as long as you don't go putting it in SLI, you'll be fine :D
