GTX 780 TI?

[Ethernet]

Is the GTX 780 Ti 3GB model still good for 1080p gaming? Buying it used from someone for $200 CAD.

Its still a good card. Its up there with a 480.

I'm not too good with the pricing side of things, but if it's a good deal and the card looks like it's well cared for, why not i guess.

[Sakkura]

Considering the value of the Canadian rupee, that seems like a decent deal.

I replaced my 780Ti with a GTX1060. A factory OC unit like the Inno3D HerculeZ Ultra is still on par with a 980. It no longer receives proper driver optimizations though, so performance will somewhat degrade in games taking more advantage of Maxwell and Pascal architectures.

 

$200 seems pretty decent though. They go for 180-220 euros here.

Honestly don't reply if you aren't going to help me. It just seems like a troll post to me.

 

I'm upgrading from a GTX 760 2GB and for the price, its the cheapest GTX 780 Ti 3GB on the used market in my area.

Dont just assume people are trolling. I bought myself a 780ti recently.(760 to 780ti aswell) Its price about the same and performs about the same and also being a canadian tax and destroy your budget so buying it off someone was more worth then buying a brand new  480 which was about 350 and thats without tax. and when im saying 480 I dont mean a gtx 480. I mean a RX  480

The 780Ti or any 700 series cards should be avoided in 2016.

 

A GTX 1060 should perform similarly. Try and find a cheap GTX 1060 6GB.

Get it. for 200$ You will not find better...

It's a great card, perform almost as good as a gtx 970 4 GB

Your only better option would be to find a 970 for 200$ CAD, but its very hard they sell for 275$ on kijij / ebay etc...

So for 200$ , its a good price for 780 Ti

I have the EVGA ACX model, and it's been a great card over the years tbh and it will hit 1080p60 most of the time even with a little AA, but if I was spending the money for a used card I would go with an R9 390. That 3GB framebuffer and the fact that AMD still pays attention to their "legacy" cards with driver optimisations being the main reason.

Why are you responding with this?

 

The 780ti is going to perform around the following cards:

 

1060

480

390

970

 

Get what's cheaper/what's newer for the relative cost.

i'm canadian, and i'm constantly checking prices for old and new cards (don't ask why, i'm strange ) and yeah, i sold my GTX 780 for 320$ about 3 months ago when i upgraded to a 980ti (paid 800$ for the 980ti).

 

With the prices right now, 200$ is a good deal for a 780ti...it's considerably faster than my 780 was, and it was doing very well at 1080p.

780ti is a good card for 1080p gaming, and for 200$ CAD it's hard to find any better...considering a GTX 1060 or an RX 480 would run you in the 350 to 400$ range, the 780ti performance is pretty close to those cards still...for a much lower price, i'd get it!

[Mello]

Maybe try getting a GTX 1060 3GB.

[ybriK]

The 780 Ti smashed the 290X during release day, but not anymore... But for $200 it's a pretty good deal. If I was in your shoes and can't find a better deal on a 290X, then grab that 780 Ti.

Thanks all for your advice. I ended up grabbing the GTX 780 Ti. Then, I'm selling my GTX 760 for $120 later tonight so it equals to a $80 upgrade. It preforms really well for the games I play. I'm only running at 1080p at 60Hz-75Hz. So far the games I'm playing, even a cracked version of Assassin's Creed Syndicate is running pretty well on high settings.

More expensive than $200. Really $80 later tonight when I sell my GTX 760 and make $120 from it. Making the GTX 780 Ti being bought for $80 at the end of the day.

[marcelalberti123]

why would you buy the 780ti... card that doesn't get new updated drivers. 290 is far more superior AND cheaper.

[Mick Naughty]

What do you need updates for? Worse performance? Id rather not. Ill stick to my 7xx series cards. Already returned or sold my 970, 980 sli and 1080. Next gen isn't worth the sacrifice.

Because presumably the 290 didn't sell for $200 CAD in his area.

 

[Ekst4zy]

I had the same problem as you did and... I got 780ti dc2 this weekend. Paid 180 cad for it. It's the best deal for the money IMHO. I'm selling my 770 for 130-140 (we will see if I will get that much, but 120 easily). I'm happy with my choice. My problem with x290 is that a lot of them were used for bitcoin mining... Not nice.
