its not worth upgrading to either

[Godlygamer23]

It depends on the game. The 970 may gain ~5% over the 780.

Generally speaking the 970>780 and the 780 is better or on par with the 960 at low resolutions. At high res the 780 obliterates the 960.

And I would agree with people below and above. It's not worth upgrading to.

if you're one gen behind, it's not really worth the upgrade...

 

sit it out for now, wait on 1080 series and hardware thats designed to work with DX12

[don_svetlio]

Keep your card - not worth the cash for a side grade

[PlayStation 2]

dont upgrade

the 780 is a bit below the 970 but not worth blowing another $330 on

[Centurius]

I'm running a 780 myself and it's still great in pretty much everything so I agree with what has been said above. Wait another gen or two.

[theereal]

Most likely not worth the upgrade, but it goes like this: 960 - 780 - 970.

The 970 is significantly stronger than the 780 as the 970 even beats the 780Ti at some games (by a few FPS). But if youre upgrading you'd want to do a bigger jump IMO

[GlassBomb]

I used to have a 780. Got a 970, and it's roughly 10% faster than the 780. But I prefer it more due to how much more quiet it is.

 

But since you already have a 780, then I wouldn't switch it. Since it's still a properly fast card. I only changed because my 780 died, and the replacement card I got was a 970.

i use my GTX780 for 1440p Gsync gaming and it still hold it's own fairly well...though i would benefit from an upgrade to a 980ti...will probably do that soon...a GTX980 is the minimum i would even consider for an upgrade to the 780.

The 960 is much slower than the 780, and the 970 is a tad faster...but more efficient too...it's a better card no doubt about it but not worth the upgrade unless you find a maniac willing to trade his 970 for your 780 + 40$ or something like that...probably not gonna happen.

gtx 9xx wont be able to support as well as 1080 series in DX12 ? or would be the same just a firmware upgrade or some sort ?

im planning to buy a graphic card for my friend. so might as well keep the better one so if the gtx 970 is better than my asus 780 strix . ill pass him my 780.

does the 970 completely own the 780 in high Res ? 

in terms of overall. a 780 is still better than a 960 right ? just slightly i assume ? 

[manikyath]

well... theres semi-confirmed issues between the 900 series and DX12.

 

but those issues being there or not, the next generation can only be better.

 

HBM2 is gonna be really interesting as well...

780's a lot better than the 960

the 970 will do marginally better at higher resolutions.

at lower reso. 970 will do worst than 780 ?

[Godlygamer23]

In most games at least, it'll do better than the 780 overall.

The 970 is quite a bit better than the 780, it even beats the 780Ti sometimes but not by alot.

I currently have the Windforce edition and I think it's pretty good, but it is a heavy and long card. Thus, it kinda sags.

how do u help with the sags ? is there a way ?

You can purchase an acrylic brace or use a fishing line and tie it to the card and then somewhere in the case.
