780ti Kingpin , worth?

[Justhavocman]

So i got a sweet deal on a 780ti kingpin ( 2 more years of warranty) for 450€ , should i go for it? Is it still a good buy? Also would my xfx 750W Pro Core edition be able to handle that beast with a slight OC? ( 2x8 pins and 1x6 pin holy moly)

Only if you can't get a different 780 Ti for cheaper, a 980. A 970 is also is a good option

[ImBleu]

Nope. 

 

For About 475e you can buy a GTX980 brand new, a bit more than that you can buy 2x GTX970. No point in buying a second hand 780Ti.

[Rheinwasser]

i'd buy it.

[MrImnotMLG]

That model is really for EXTREME overclocking. I feel like it would be a waste of money.

Not really , they all go for about 380to 400~ish. A 970 is 390€ .

I'd like to see where you found a 980 for that amount of money because over here they start from 580€.

[Oshino Shinobu]

No, you can probably get a 980 for that money, or a 970 with a load of change. The card is designed for extreme overclocking, it's not that much better than a regular 780ti when it's under air or water.

Inflation, and TAX. Europe has stupid-high Value-added Tax. Hong Kong (where I live) has no Sales tax as all. My nVidia GTX980 reference cost me $4,399 HKD (479.92 Euros).

970 because that 60 euros could go elsewhere and performance is close enough to a 780 Ti unless you can get a 410 euro 780 Ti (Kingpin is totally unnecessary)

Noted , but still , inflation remains

Well the difference between the GTX970 and GTX980 here is like 90 euros. So somewhere there's an issue

[theodoro]

You can make it worth if you OC. 
It will outperform any 970, so it's not a bad option.

970 for 390€ , 980=590€ . But still , is the 200€ premium worth those 4-5 extra fps?

What are the prices of other 780Ti's like If they aren't all that cheaper, get 970

[Justhavocman]

What are the prices of other 780Ti's like If they aren't all that cheaper, get 970

They're stil pretty inflated , around the same price as the 980s.

Then get 970 and OC it You won't see a bid difference

[Justhavocman]

So , bottom line , get a 970?

[CatCloud]

So , bottom line , get a 970?

Yes, or a 980 if you can find one for a good price.

[Clarkey]

Unless its 30% or less than the price of a 980 just get the 980 instead.

Personally i would spend the bit extra on the 980.. How much is a 970?

 a 970 is around 380-390€.

[Zweihander]

970 for cash saving, 980 if you're "richie rich".

You could always get a 970 today, and upgrade to a 980 later (or SLI). 

 

Prices may drop, eventually. Right now, IMHO -- the price performance ratio for a 980 really isn't worth the expense.
