Hello all, I have a 780 ti windforce, but dont play really intensive games mostly planet side 2, batman arkham origins, mc and swtor which I know aren't that graphically intensive, ocaisonally I will tri screen swtor or dirt 3, I feel like I payed and am not using the full potential, and thinking would ut be worth it to sell it and get a 4gb 770? Thanks for your opinions.

Edit: I will most lujely get the next batman game and is star wars battlefront 3 comes out at one point which I dont expect to not be runable at full settings on a 770.

If you want to run games at 3X 1080p you'll want to keep the 780 for sure for higher stable framerate. Planetside 2 is mostly dependant on CPU as well as SWTOR and minecraft. Go get yourself Crysis 3 and fap to the glorious graphics.

I love StarCraft

Keep it, just because you aren't using it's full power today doesn't mean it will always stay that way. Games will get tougher to run, eventually you'll be using the 780 for things it can't handle, that is when you change cards, not because it is too good for your needs. Downgrading just means you'll have to upgrade sooner. Which costs more in the long run and seems nonsensical.

Good point hopefully the 780ti lasts for another 4 years
