GTX 680 vs. GTX 980

[ibrahimasghar]

Hello people, i want to ask for your opinions on these two cards, right now i have this card MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr III 2GB, i'm pretty happy with it, i am thinking of upgrading it to Gigabyte GTX 980 4GB, do you guys think it would be a significant upgrade?.

My current PC specs:

CPU: Core i7 4770 @ 3.4 GHz
GPU: MSI GTX 680 Twin Frozr III 2GB
Motherboard: Gigabyte G1 Sniper Z87
RAM: 8 GB
PSU: 650 Watts.

Thank you.

Yes, the difference is huge for less power. Also, you get extra 2 GB VRAM which will help in the near future. http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1348?vs=1351

Pretty much double the frame rate in most games, so yeah looks worth it.

Yes, under 1080p, the most powerful single GPU card - the 980 beats all other single GPUs: http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/digitalfoundry-2014-nvidia-geforce-gtx-980-review
Review for GTX 970 and GTX 980 reference models: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/nvidia-geforce-gtx-970-and-980-reference-review,1.html The non-reference model still betas every other single GPU.

That would be a worthy upgrade man.

If you do decide to get the GTX 980, you are going to be very happy with it.

Gtx 980 is better than Gtx 680 so go for it!
