Uppgrade or save for new computer?

[Sigge Sandstrom]

Computer specs

GPU: Gtx 780 Asus 3gb

CPU: I7-4770K 3,5 Ghz

PSU: 750W

16 GB RAM

Motherboard: ASUS Z87-A - ATX / Z87

 

I have a chance at getting another Gtx 780 for around 180$, is it worth to upgrade or should I save my money for a new computer. When will the new Pascal GPUs from Nvidia release and will they be worth it for example?

No point in getting another 780. You find it difficult to run games on Max at 1080?

 

Wait for Pascal as it brings real DX12 support with it.

I would say upgrade it. Z87 isn't that old, maybe wait a little for the new polaris or pascal GPUs.

your system is probably slowing down on the gpu side, 4770k is still a good cpu and id wait for pascal or pick up a 980 or the like

Everyone getting up tight about pascal, I really dont think waiting and getting one high-end pascal GPU will be beat 2 780s. Yes, SLI isn't always the best with scaling and the like but the 4770K won't bottleneck them and for the price of a 950/370 I'd go second 780.

 

My recommendation: for raw graphics performance the 780 and spend any extra money you could have saved on a new monitor or new peripherals

The reason everyone says wait for Pascal is becuase spending money now will not get you any improvements on the new DX12 titles that are going to launch this year. Especially since DX12 is supposed to be the next game changer in terms of GPU compute performance and efficiency.
