 Just wondering how close this card would be against a gtx 970 ? just asking because I can snag one up for $200 .

 Is it worth spending the extra $130+ for a 970,or should I wait for team red and see what the r9 380x can offer?

 

Only asking because I read the evga classified's OC like a beast

 

so tempting to go and just get it.

 

Thanks

The 970 is only marginally better, so go for the 780.

Compatible with Windows 95

the price is too good to pass up, if they are a comparable price, the 970 because it has the extra vram

 

but for only $200 780

Wow, what's the catch getting such a good 780 for $200?

 

No catch, I could get 2 if I had $400

 

personally I am such a bargain shopper and usually don't buy anything if its a good deal,guess you could call me a cheapskate lol

Our Father Birb has taught us with His humble heart and gentle wing the way of the bob. Let us show Him our reverence and follow in His example.
