Gtx 780?

[Parman]

I have the opportunity to buy a Gtx 780 for a £100. I was wondering is this card still capable of game at 1080p with high fps and details or there is a better option for me at this price point?

Yeah, it's still a very good card, with performance just a bit under a GTX 970 which means it performs sort of like an RX 470.

If we're talking 2nd hand, then there are a lot of better options - Heck, a GTX 970 used would beat it handily. Taking into account that Nvidia really nerfed the 700 series in driver updates once the 900 series was established so I'd steer clear of a 700 series card or any Kepler based GPU at this point.

Ok for 1080p high settings, I still use a HD 7870. But the power costs might be a put off. It depends on the cooler and board design though, stay away from reference unless it's a SFF.

You might have to buy a better PSU because it's power hungry, but that price is a steal.

and games like overwatch, bf4 are a breeze too 

the 780 will do you good

Step 1: Install older drivers

Have you check used 970 and R9 290(X/non X) prices? Take a look at them if you haven't.

I have had a look and I can't find one lower than 160, and from benchMarks I seen there isn't enough of a increase to warrant the extra cash.

I couldn't find a gtx 970 or equivalent for any less than 160 quid, how much do the drivers limit the caRd. so does it not perform in modern day titles, from the bench marks I seen it only performs about 5fps under the 970.

Depends on the game, but how are they priced anyhow.

Ohh, missed that one. Yeah 60 pounds over the 780 is a bit too much.

Ive always used older drivers with my cards for the exact reason. I switched to the 2nd latest yesterday so I could use sli in bf1. Then got the very latest and it runs even better now. Was still using the December first driver.

Interesting.

Do you know by any chance the best driver for GTX 780 Ti?

I would do 362.00 because the whole gimping drama started with the version 364 ones.

 

But what I recommend actually is to tinker, try both the newest and the older ones and see what works best for you.
