The new, Maxwell-derived GeForce cards are out (at least, the first few are now in the grubby hands of the press), and they have already been benchmarked: http://videocardz.com/52166/nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-gtx-970-gtx-980m-gtx-970m-3dmark-performance

 

The amazing thing, isn't just the expected increase in performance (notice how the GTX 970 surpasses the GTX 780's score), but the fact that the 980 is able to perform 10-15% better, with a 40% lower TDP!  What that means, in layman's terms, is that the 780 draws 250+ watts at max draw, while the 980 never exceeds 150 watts.
