Hello, I'm looking for a major, graphics card upgrade.

I will have around £500+ to spend on a graphics card.

I currently own the 660ti which is already getting out-dated by crysis 3 and battlefield 4 JUST.

My current specs are;

CPU: 4670k overclocked to 4ghz.

GPU: 660ti

 

And so i'm wanting to upgrade to a top-end graphics card, just as a 780. But when i've been looking, there's a both 780 and a 780ti, which is better?

Looking for a high end NVIDIA card around £500 which is worth upgrading from, from the 660ti which is future-proof.

i7 4790k (Hyper 212 Evo); GA-Z87X-UD3H; 16gb G Skill PC3-19200 DDR3 @ 2400MHz; GeForce GTX 1080 ; Corsair CX600M 600W PSU; Samsung 860 EVO 500GB &  3TB HDD; Windows 10 64bit.

"future proof" we can't tell the future so we don't know how long it will last I do recommend a 780 ti though it maxes literally everything and was a very nice upgrade from my 670 if you have the money now go for it the proper new cards will most likely be Q2 or Q3 the ones rumoured for Q1 are most rebrands like most of the 700 series

If you're not in a hurry, wait for Maxwell and see how Mantle does.
