Hey guys this could be a silly question but anyway. In australia the 780 (galaxy GC) edition is about 300 roughly more than the gigabyte 770 i'm thinking of getting, do you think it is worth that price difference?

300 what? iPhone 5S'?

 

I'm only kidding. Just go with the 770. It costs $300 AUD less for about a 20% drop in performance.

 

Also, wait for 9xxx series. @CoolBeans

Wait a few weeks for the R9-2xx cards and see if that brings the prices down a little

Unfortunately i can't wait but im not entirely interested in the new series anyway (im not a nvidia fanboy dw)

That's fair enough. In that case a 770 will probably be a better option for you right this second.

Yeh true, hopefully i can get a nice little overclock going

The GTX770 is an excellent choice if you are gaming, since it is basicly the same card as the 680 but with a higher memory bandwidth.  :)

Get a GTX 770 Lightning, because it has unlocked BIOS and support triple overvoltage. Overclock it to the max and it will perform on par with a GTX 780 at a lower price point. You might consider the 4GB version if you want to go for a SLI configuration in the near future.

I heard there's a new softmod allowing GTX 780s and Titans to overvolt like crazy

CoolerMaster CM 690 II Basic | Intel i7-2600 | CoolerMaster Hyper 212+ | 2x Zotac GTX 1070 AMP! Edition

Asus P8Z77-V LK | 2 x 4GB Kingston HyperX DDR3 1600MHz CL9 | SeaSonic M12ii 850W 80+ Bronze | Crucial M4 128GB
