Hey guys,

 

I was wondering whether to get a 780ti or not to replace the GPU in my sig, the one i have right now is a pretty cool card it runs nearly all the games i play at 60 fps however im hella materilistic and well its an 780ti lol.

 

Any reccomendations are also welcome.

 

Thanks :)

for 1080p gaming theres no point, this is assuming you are playing at that resolution. The ONLY reason I upgraded from a gtx 680 (similar to the 7970) to a 780 ti was because I switched over to the ever demanding 1440p resolution.

If you can already play all the games that you want to at 60 fps, I don't see why you would need a 780ti.

As i said i'm hella materialistic :)

So would you say 780ti's are only worth it for 4k?

For 4k, the 3GB frame buffer starts to be an issue. You really want 4GB like on the radeon cards, or the titan black with it's 6GB. It might not be an issue in all games, but it's for sure an issue in some.

Good to know ^^

Thanks for the heads up long time goal to go 4k :)

No just perfect for ultra settings at 1440p. At 4k it's not bad for like medium settings.
