780 strategy

[porkfloss]

i bought a evga 780 sc about 2 weeks before they announced the 7990 price drop... hmm  :mellow: 

i'm after the most powerful pcie 2 or 3 slot card for the cash. 

maybe i should sell the gtx780 a week before the 9xxx release date and hopefully pick up close to what i paid for it then + ????? = profit

help

That is what I would do, aperently the 9970 will have 5% more performance than a Titan.

Keep your 780, it's a beast card.

^^also what i've heard. but why would you want a more powerful card? a 780 is already enough for everything for a couple years.

At this point, isn't it still a rumor?

I dont see the point in a 9970 when you already own a 780. For maybe 5% performance increase?

Yeap but I don't see why they wouldn't make a card that performs like a Titan

if i can get more bang for my buck then why not

Time is money

 

I don't think the hassle is necessary

but many overclocked 780 are 10%+ faster than a Titan...what if the 9970 overclocks really bad?

[porkfloss]

the condition is i'm limited to one pcie slot because i have a mATX mobo and the other is used for sound card. but i'm open to the idea of dual gpu cards just not physically "two" gpus

does nobody here like the 7990 idea?

Being an AMD card I doubt it.

Might be, but the last 2 generations 6000 and 7000 have been awesome overclockers

 

I don't know about previous generation, though

You already have the 780, I doubt that you will make a real profit if you sell your 780 to buy a new card straight away. When your 780 won't suffice anymore for your usage, there will be a better card on the market anyways to buy. Stick with your 780, the few dollars you could (could) get are not worth the hassle, not with a 780.

but theoretically couldn't this hassle 'make" around $150 bucks + get more performance. then i could go buy lots of beer and game with +30 fps
