Hello world, i am looking for an upgrade for my graphics card. I am gaming at 1440p. My gtx 780 isn't cutting to the case, I tend to see my fps dip below 30 fps alot. I am thinking about either getting the 780 Ti or either wait for the gtx 980. I am just looking for PURE performance at games. I don't really care about the extra 1gig of vram. I just care more about the performance the card that will last me for future generation at 1440p. What's do you guys think i should wait on getting ? If this helps, Im planning on upgrading to the X99 platform. The 5820k seems really really interesting :P

it'd be silly not to wait at this point honestly... at least till you see the benchmarks/price

Wait of course, you win both ways cos the previous series should go down in price or you could benefit from the newer generation GPUs

They both don't provide that drastic of an increase.

At this point since new cards are so close to release, it's best to hold off until benchmarks are released.

I read somewhere that it will consume 180W?

Yeah 250w; don't quote me on that 180w tdp, but I seem to recall that number for some reason.

Are you going to sell your 780 to fund your upgrade?

If so then I'd wait for bench marks on the 980.

If not I'd look into a second 780.

850W will be more than plenty for any single-GPU card unless something VERY dramatic happens.

How come that nobody suggested SLI? The rumors say that the 980 is as good as the 780 Ti but consumes less power. So all you would get is less power consumption and maybe a better overclock.

Your 780 hovers 10% below those two, so neither of them will benefit you much. If you just care about raw performance, SLI your 780. End of story.

who cares...

What don't you like about SLI? 2-way SLI has pretty good scaling, you see almost double the performance of one card in most games. I have 2 780ti's in SLI running 4k. A single 780ti will not keep you above 60fps in 1440p at ultra settings in all games. I have a 850w psu and it works just fine with both cards at full load.

Depends. 780 Ti won't offer that much of a difference and the 980 is RUMORED to be slower than the 780 Ti. I would wait a couple more days since it is RUMORED that Nvidia will release the 980. I would wait and see if the 780 Ti drops in price. If the 980 is released, I would be on the look out for performance charts on both cards.

If they don't release a new card, I suggest you sell the 780 and buy a 780 Ti.

Yep, do what everyone here is saying, wait a short period and then make your own decision with the facts (not rumors) presented to you :)
