780ti or 970?

[IrishNexus]

Hey Guys,

 

So I was doing a quick look around at some Pc hardware websites and found some great deals on 780ti's.

 

My question is whether i should go ahead and buy a 780ti or buy a 970,both are similarily priced at around €350

 

Also should i bother looking at Used/Refusrbished or Grade B 780ti's that can be up to €50 euro cheaper?

get the 970 but if the you have a good psu  and dont mind a hotter card get a 780ti

and also the 780ti is slightly better than the 970 in terms of performance

970.

Dont bother with used cards unless you are buying from someone you trust.

My PSU can handle it and my case is pretty well ventilated so that wouldnt be any problem,it's the price to performance ratio that im most curious about

its a older card but it was the highest tier card so its very comparable (the 780ti) to the 980 so i personally would go for it

Here are the exact specs from nvidia

Go for the 970.

That seems to be the popular opinion from most people,after looking at more comparison videos I'm seeing the 970 winning overall,thanks!

970, not quite as powerful, but much cheaper.

Hmmm i would still suggest 970. Because the 780(ti) is discontinued. However if you went with the 970 you could SLI in the future!

Yeah the 970 is the one i'll go for,and then of course SLI is something i could look into in the future if i ever needed the extra power,thanks
