The 780 Ti is quite a bit stronger, but 50 GBP seems like a really low price for it (normally I would expect people to ask at least double that), so make sure it's a working model.

This is a head to head comparison, the 780ti scored significantly better frames in most games so it is probably the better buy. But at that price be careful you don't get scammed. They run about $150-$200 here in the states. Make sure it is not a 750ti

That, or ask a GPU-Z screenshot. If possible you should go out to meet this fellow and test it out there yourself, but I know that is not possible for everyone.

You should definitely get confirmation of a correct, functional card. It's from someone you know so he could just offloading the card as a favor. GPU-Z works, Furmark test works as well.

I will probably organise to go over this weekend if possible because it sounds like a good deal to me

It's a great deal if the card works. Good luck!

Just be sure to check the card physically to see it's alright, test it out in a benchmark (Heaven is one that is easy to take with you on the go, Asus realbench is nice too) and check GPU-Z to see if everything checks out (again, take this on a flash drive with you).

That’s rather cheap for a card that was basically a cut down GeForce Titan (original) they’re worth quite a bit more than £50 perhaps a fault or two, I were looking for one and they go for around 120-180. I’d investigate a bunch and see if it’s a working card and if so, proof :)
