Asus GTX 780ti vs Asus 970 Performance

[LarsReviews]

I just saw that the 780ti got seriously reduced in Price, so it cost less than a 970. Which one overs more Performance, also considering Overclocking.

[Krytopsy]

GTX 970, anyone else tells you the GTX 780 Ti are just wrong.

[TheKDub]

780ti wins performance wise, though I highly doubt you found one for less than a 970, or even a 980.

 

980 is cheaper than the 780 ti and is more powerful than it.

[TheSLSAMG]

The GTX 780 Ti by far, since it is around as good as a GTX 980.

Wrong answer. Look at benchmarks, and you will find that the GTX 970 gets spanked by the GTX 780 Ti. Not only this, but there is still plenty of stock and they are going for ridiculously good prices.

 

I looked at your sig. Are you mad because you know a 780 Ti is better? Lol, just kidding. Nice PC, by the way.

GTX 970, anyone else tells you the GTX 780 Ti are just wrong.

Why would you say that? The 780Ti trades with the 980.

The blind leading the blind ahah, on stock speed 780 ti show higher performance but when both are overclocked and they easily overclock with the vendor own softwares, the GTX 970 show his beastly efficiency of Maxwell over GK210 GPU.

That is what I read, that the 970 reaches the power of a stock 980 when OCed. So I wasn't sure how this applies, when comparing it to a 780ti.

The GTX 780Ti is a stronger GPU...but the 970 as an extra GB of VRAM and consume less (run's cooler, quieter) so if you have any intentions to go SLI down the road the GTX 970 is a much better pick...single GPU my vote goes to the 780ti.

GTX 970 stock = GTX 780 stock

However Maxwell can get some crazy OCs done on it, putting it right up against what a 780 Ti can do overclocked

Stock 980 = overclocked 780Ti

[Krytopsy]

I didn't get the GTX 970 for no reasons feel free to take a look at my in progress website and gives me your opinion about it I want it to be better and more detailed as possible to help people and stop the blind trolls

Stock 980 = overclocked 780Ti

actually that's not exactly right...the 970 stock is faster than the 780 stock...the 970 also overclock better.

But when it comes to the 980, the 780Ti match it at stock speed...and the 980 only manage to slightly edge it once highly overclocked...the GTX 780ti is a beastly GPU that compete fairly well with a GTX 980 from the reviews and benchmarks i've seen so far.

Honestly I say 970 = 780 to make all of the massive number of 970 fanboys happy, but in reality, 780 is still better, skip to 5:50

Also note the 780 Ti not keeping up with the 980.

Stop being so pretentious. Being condescending isn't going to help anyone.

 

A 780Ti can be overclocked too. It really depends on the chip and usually the 970 will overclock more. But when both are overclocked then the 780Ti will win.

980 is cheaper than the 780 ti and is more powerful than it.

Suprisingly, the 780 Ti has often been on sale since the release of 900 series. You can pick one up for around $390-$450.

Eh I wouldn't quote LTT benchmark results. They proved that their 780 is better than their 970 because of their stupid OC policy that completely ignores the fact that overclockability is a complete lottery and may not be representative of what the cards can, on average, offer. Just as an example, most other benchmarks I've seen have placed it just below the R9 290X, which suggests to me that Linus was just a bit unlucky with the unit he got and is claiming that as representative of all 290Xs.

 

I still think that in general the 780 offers more performance than the 970, since that was OP's question, but I don't think it makes as much sense to buy.

Linus had the cards overclocked and they have a beat overclocker as a GTX 780, you should not really base your opinions on these results.

 

Here, anandtech ran much more testing mostly at stock clock speed and here are the results they've obtained:

 

GTX 780 vs GTX 970:

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1036?vs=1355

 

The GTX 970 has the performance similar to a GTX Titan:

http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1060?vs=1355

 

And the GTX 780ti keep up with the GTX 980..well, not really but close enough:

But the 780ti is defenetly stronger than the 970:

My question is should i wait for the evga FTW or get the 

Asus GeForce GTX 980 DirectCU II OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5?

Asus GeForce GTX 980 DirectCU II OC Strix 4096MB GDDR5?

 

EVGA is doing nothing good ATM of course it's not worth waiting for the FTW cards...get anyone you wan't and overclock the card yourself instead...BTW i'd suggest the gigabyte windforce card.

Also the 980 all togheter is a bad idea IMHO you get a lot more for your money with a GTX 970.

So gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 4GB GDDR5 would be my recommendation.

[Krytopsy]

And DSR and SLI potential performance ?

EVGA are better cards but Asus ones have 0dB feature whiich mean complete silent operation because the fans will spin only when it needs.

The Gigabyte card is the best looking card but the less efficient card too.

[Bhav]

If you already have a 780 / 780 ti, no point in getting the 970 / 980.

If you're still on GK104 or less like I was, Id still recommend the 970 over the 780 ti for an upgrade. Any advantage of the 780 ti is minuscule, and the 970 OCs much more, as well as having the latest tech including full DX12 capability.

[m_tieu]

GTX 980 and 780ti have auto-balancing power rails which offers better stability when overclocking that the 970 does not. This feature is only available with top tier cards. The 780ti is closer in performance to the 980 whereas the 970 is closer to the 780.

Isn't that 0db function just Software? It would be nice, if that could be updated to other cards too. 

[Krytopsy]

Well, I may have make it sounds like others cards are noisy but they're not lol, as an exemple my EVGAs minimum fans speed are locked at 30% with PrecisionX, we pretty much don't hear the fans spinning at all but yeah Asus software could work with others cards, I don't see why it wouldn't.I know that slient PC are something that some people are all about. But PrecisionX is the best vendor GPU overclocking software.

Did you catch the Leprechaun at the end of the rainbow ? Pics or it never happened LOL.
