Geforce GTX 760 or 780?

[cjsun9]

Hi Everyone,

 

I'm building a new ATX rig for gaming and I'm not sure which graphics card to buy but I've come down to either the 760 or 780. This is the current rig, so that you know what the conditions it would be running in are: http://uk.pcpartpicker.com/user/cjsun9/saved/4hOk .

 

I really really like the green on the side of the GTX 780 and so have even started to consider the 680 just to have this, as ridiculous as it may seem! 

 

Obviously, money exists and so I can't quad-way SLI 780s but future expandability is an option and so I'd love some feedback about dual way SLI-ing 760s against just one 780.

 

Thanks a lot,

cjsun9

 

(any changes to the parts guide to optimize it for gaming mainly but also future expandability (when I have some more money to spend!) are also very very welcome)

One 780 for the reason you mentioned; future expandability.

why not a 770?

 

780 if you can. 

[.:MARK:.]

I would go 780, purely better.

[Nickolas47]

if you can afford it go to GTX 780ti

[Bluejay0]

780 or a 780Ti w/ a lower PSU

If your doing a gaming PC, why is there a 4770k an 16gb of ram? if its gaming just get 8gb of ram and a 4670k

[The_Ginger_spoon]

if you have to money get the 780

also i recommend changing you hdd to a wd blue not green because it will perform much faster

780.

780ti's are a stupid card. You pay an extra $150-$200 for 5 more FPS in games

[Jerakl]

Inb4 you don't need a 4770K for gaming.

[Jerakl]

You don't need a 4770K for gaming?

Get a 4770K and the 780.

Not even remotely true.

Exactly. 780ti is a stupid card 

[Nickolas47]

Exactly. 780ti is a stupid card 

you got 11 frames more and a more futureproof card

780.

The gain is around 10-15fps depending on what games, and for 1440p it's glorious. Some games the gain is minimal yes.

 

By that logic then the 780 is a "stupid card" then because you pay $150 over the 770 for 10-15fps more?

[DoubleY]

No such thing as future proof. You will need an 800 or maybe 900 series card for anything in the future.

It's better than paying $200 for 10 fps.

Aaand what's your point? 

[Freaky_spider]

*shrugs* 11 frames OW WOW, that totaly worth the extra price, also thats a benchmark, not a game, games dont even stress you card that much so gain will be even less, like the other benchmarks show
