Which is better? I am thinking of upgrading my GPU to a 780 but was wondering if it was worth the upgrade.

970 to a 780 isn't an upgrade, why would you want to get rid of your 970 already? http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1036?vs=1355

What prices are you getting these for?  The 780ti is only slightly better than the 970 and the 970 is way better value.

unless you already have a 780 and want to SLi, the 970 is the obvious choice.

I like the Zotac's purely for how cheap they are, the brand is also solid and reliable.
