card choice for blender?

[1832vin]

just wondering, if anyone who uses blender here, i'm building a brand new system for cycles rendering

and i'm gonna watercool them, cuz it's cycles and they can render for quite the hours + the overclocking for faster renders

so,

i'm wondering what the gap in performence between a 780 and a 780 ti in cycles (i couldn't find any relevant bench marks)

oh, i live in uk

cuz there are 6GB variants of the 780 cards, and if the rendering times are not that significantly different, can i which 780?

i think the strix one looks quite good, cuz they said for those 10 phase power design, but the waterblock are in nickel....

the other choices are EVGA and MSI which both have copper block in sell, but no new features

if you going for watercooling

 

get the ref GTX780

 

6GB might not be useful

 

correct me on this

oh, no, 6GB does comes in handy when you're rendering

A 780Ti will be significantly faster than a 780 in Blender, but more Vram is obviously better the higher your face count and texture size is.
