Hey guys which one should i go with , They both have exact same price thanks . Quick reply pls ..

 

[Crash Course]

I know it's an old thread but I'd like to say, a Gigabyte Windforce 780Ti OC 3x vs a Gigabyte Windforce G1 Gaming SOC 970, the 780Ti comes out on top 99% of the time, even at 4k and if you oc the 970 to its limit, the 780Ti is faster. In games at 4k games use more vram if it's available, I've noticed, yet with the 780Ti they use less vram - go figure. Crysis 3 has the 780Ti streaking ahead of the 970 at 4k, the same with Metro Last Light. Project Cars, they are similar with the 780Ti being 3-5fps ahead. Both chuck COD:AW over 60fps at 4k with the Ti hitting over 10 fps more than the 970. I have both and also both in sli. I've not benched 1080p as it is a dead resolution in my eye's. I've also not benched using AA as that is pointless with 4k pixel density, but all other settings are at their maximum. Also, the 780Ti will output 60fps via HDMI and at load their wattage use is very similar. TDP is thermal output not power use. Both remain reasonably cool in SLI with the 970 winning by 8c.

The only reason to buy 970's over 780Ti's is for possibly better DirectX 12 support later on down the road, otherwise I'd easily go with the 780Ti over the 970. Believe me, the 500Mb of vram at present makes no difference in performance and for DirectX 12 games of the future, we've been lead to believe that SLI vram will stack so, no real vram issues there either. Second hand a 780Ti is upto £100 cheaper than a 970!

Buy a second hand 780 ti, that's what I did! I was considering a new 970 but the Gigabyte G1 was $150 more than what I paid for the 2nd hand 780 ti! In another year or two I'll sell the 780 ti (probably get most of my money back on it as well) and get a second hand 980 ti for a lot less than current prices. In some cases benchmarks are not quite accurate. Unfortunately AnandTech GPU benchmarks don't show the clock frequencies of the cards tested anymore. So you could be comparing results from a reference card (clocked up to a few hundred Mhz lower than a non reference card) with another card that has a factory OC! A decent overclock can easily achieve 10 to 15% better performance.

It looks like you really want the 780 Ti,right?
Cuz you've said absolutely nothing to give out that you want the 970.
If it is like that,then this thread is pointless.

Gtx 780 ti is one of the fastest nvidia card . And it cost almost same as gtx 970 , thats why i tried to do a comparison between them .

The 780 Ti used to be the fastest in 2013, but I would go for 970 since it is newer and even though it has less cores, it uses the Maxwell architecture which means that the Maxwell cores on the 970 are stronger than the kepler cores on the 780 ti. Also, the 780 Ti and 970 prices are not the same. The 780 Ti is around $600 while the 970 is around $300. You're better off going for a 970 than 780 Ti since there is not that many left on any shopping websites. There are a few benchmarks where the 970 beats the 780 Ti. Also you can do SLI or maybe overclock the 970 to have more than 780 Ti performance. Since the 980 Ti is the king of the jungle now and the 980 (the 980 is faster than a 780 Ti) is the son of king, the 970 is just like the 980 but 20% slower. I do not recommend a 780 Ti. It's a waster of money and power. 970 FTW!

Can you sell me one of your 780 Ti's for $350? If not, how about $400?

Price are same exact same ! well you can see 780 ti on evga 970 link.

lol,three times he now mentions the price?if thats such an issue that you put the price before all the advice here then no bother going any further.Seems like youve already made up your mind.
