What would you do?

I currently have 2 780's in SLI. Before I had bought the second one I applied for the step up program, I got approved for it today. Would it be a good idea to sell one of the 780's, upgrade to the Ti and spend what's left over on PC stuff or should I keep the 2 780s?

I would opt for the upgrade and sell the other 780 personally for the other ti upgrade.  That is just me tho. I am patient like that.   The 2 780s I am sure are just fine tho.  Gonna cost you less money if you keep them and you can upgrade something else for the difference you will get for the sale of the 780 and price of the 780ti.  

 

Also remember.... Only reason I would do it is cuz the ti is the best card in the world and I would want to have em not because performance would be that different.  But 800 series will eventually come out and it wont be the best in the world anymore....  So....  Same delema.

Keep 2 780s, what is the usage in games on them, they might be getting bottlenecked by your CPU

 

Right now in game I'm using about 40% I hardly ever get close to full usage, I average 50-60%

 

Your CPU seems pretty weak compared to your GPUs. I would probably try upgrading that before stepping up.

It's exactly the same as an 8350 just with 2 less cores which would be useless in gaming anyway. It performs rather well in gaming

I know its weaker than a 8350. But that second part being said, the i5 3570 is far beats both of those in games simply because it is better with single threaded games/apps. It is even in the same price range in my area. Whatevs =/
