770 vs. 780

[TasTyDK]

Hello there i'm looking for a video card for my new rig. my budget is about 1500 $ or maybe a little more depending on performance.

So i'm looking to get a Nvidia card either the 770, 780 or the 780TI which should i choose?

So if you could help it would aprreciated by me ;-)

 

PS. i'm located in Denmark

not sure about denmarks prices but normally on a budget like that a 780 but if you can find a good price 780ti then go for it

[nixproducer]

780 the difference between the 780 and the 780ti is not a huge difference 

[Rorgash]

780 or 780ti if you use above 1080 resolution or multimonitors for gaming

[lani100]

Well if you have the money and you still have enough budget for other nice stuff in your build go for it!

I would get a 780ti

not shipping i hope the import tax is crazy.

 

also the price difference isnt huge, around our parts the companies compete hard making prices quite low.

in the us or shipping? because shipping to eu is where the cost of shipping and the card itself is going to taze you

You are going to pay a shit ton of taxes. Not worth it. Buy it in the EU.

No worries just put a 295x2 in your thing and add some complements behind a computer store and voila!

Then a 770 is your only option because a 780 does cost more than 430$ (max value that you are allowed to bring back home without paying taxes.) and you would have to pay taxes on the 780. 

[Heisenbleurgh]

I'd get the 780, it's a pretty big performance difference without the huge price difference between the 780 and the 780Ti.

[TasTyDK]

Then I would definitely suggest the 770 from Gigabyte (while it is on sale) and wait for the 800 series to come out, and drop in

I know i live in the EU myself

Maybe disassemble the system and ship it one piece at a time (keep each box price below the taxable amount?)?

The taxable amount is 22€ if you have it shipped to you (19%) After 150€ it's 19%+ import taxes. 430€ if you come back with it from the states.

is there a maximum money you can spent or is there a maximum price per item

[xtroria]

I think in $1500 budget for rig, 780 is very viable. For example, here is a solid $1.5K rig with 780: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/3ohjo

is there a maximum money you can spent or is there a maximum price per item

430 is the max. For everything. And if you don't have the bill they will estimate the price. (Google.)

i'll rename the title rebrand 680 vs neuter gtx titan

[jake98]

go 780 best bang for your buck hands down! or 780ti if you want to go over your budget
