Hi guys! I need your opinions on a simple matter,

 

I currently have 2 780Ti Classified cards and here's what I CAN do:

 

(All of this is possible only in where I am though. :D)

 

I can sell both of my Tis for around 1500$ and get 2 EVGA reference 980s from Amazon.com (which takes care of customs issues too.) for around 1300$ with import fees deposit included (200$)

 

What do you think? Looks like a better option than Step-Up to me. :)

Where do you live that you can get $1500 for two 780Tis. 

 

I'd probably do it...the performance will be more or less the same -- possibly a bit worse since you have Classies, but you also gain $200 in the process...so 

 

Edit: Wait, will the 980s cost $1300? or $1300+$200?

1300$ man. And I might even get away with the import fees and drop it to 1100$ :D

where are you going to find an idiot that will buy 2 780ti for 1500 when you can buy 2 980 for 1300?

But I'll be getting back 200$ or maybe more. :D And 980s go above 1500mhz stable...

 

Sounds good, if You gain $200, that's great but you'll also be saving on power consumption, fps doesn't matter to much obviously!

 

Agreed. 980s can reach crazy clocks... They would easily beat classies.

I'd do it if you can cut yourself this hell of a deal and save 200 USD on top of that. The 980s won't dissapoint you at all.

 

I mean 1500USD for two 780 Ti classifieds that's awesome like I've written before I live in the US and I got 800 for both of my 780Ti s.

If that is true then it sounds like a sweet deal, the 980 is slightly faster than the 780Ti and has more vram, and if you gain $200 on top of that....that's just awesome!

I was expecting you. :) Don't compare our prices, the market here is different.

 

So upgrading to 980s from classy 780 Tis is worth it, right? :)

Thanks guys! :) You convinced me. But don't get confused, the prices are really different here. I'll be saving money because I'll be selling classies in my country and buying 980s from Amazon.com :D

 

The prices I gave to my 780Tis are pretty reasonable here.

For me it was and I couldn't be happier with the 980s. In fact I like them a lot better than the 780Ti s though I have to admit that this was not a must have upgrade for me, I just wanted to see this with my own eyes and go from there on how good or bad this unlocked GM204 performs in comparison to the unlocked GK110. Well long story short, the GTX980s won for me.

 

But as always this is just my very personal opinion ;) .
