780 ti Upgrade

[Hirsone]

I am about to upgrade my PC and with the money i have i am either going to get another 780 ti and run them in SLI or a GTX 980 and i can't decide, any help???

Get a 980, its more powerful, uses less power, is newer, etc... than the 780 ti.

What's the price differece between the 780Ti and the 980?

[Hirsone]

The 980 is $200 more, Not interested in the price though more the proformance

For a couple hundred dollars less, the 970 is *near equivalent to a 780 Ti, with faster synthetic times (which probably don't matter), more performance to the watt, and lower temperatures. It's a no-brainer in my book.

being in the same boat, I'm still gonna SLI my 780Ti's. And a 970 is not equal to a 780Ti, more like equal to a 780. And a 780Ti and 980 will trade blows in games. Only difference being power draw. And I've never been one who cares about how hot or how much power a card draws.

SLI 780ti will stomp a 980 in %95 of scenarios

It depends on the games but what you say is true, I have a 970 but the import thing is what the OP is going to pay, tere's no reason to buy the 780Ti if it's $30 more than the 970

Go with the 780Ti then, or if you can, a 970.

The 980 is very powerful, but I don't think is worth the extra money for the extra performance it offers over a 970

Just sli, the 900 series isn't worth it if you have a 780/ti. The whole power and heat thing is a stupid debate. Not everyone cares about power and the heat isn't a problem if you know how to install fans in a case.

 

I would just get the next cards after the 900 series. Especially if you plan on staying single monitor for gaming.

I have 780Ti SLi. I still do prefer one fast card. Seeing as you already have 780ti then a 980 is a side grade. IMO your options are add another 780Ti or wait for Big Maxwell.
