Gtx 780 or Gtx 970

[Guest]

Really short question, which is better for performance on 1080p with highest settings on 60fps.

If you don't have either card, and if money is of no concern, then the 970 would be the better bet. There's no real point in buying an older model of card unless you simply can't afford it.

970 in all aspects, coming from a 780 owner

As someone who recently went from a 780 to a 980, I'd definitely agree.

If you are open to Radeon cards, I would recommend the 390, as it tends to be slightly cheaper than the 970 and has 8gb vram. The performance for both is similar, though at stock clocks the 390 edges out the 970 slightly.

Out of the two I would say 970 though.

Oh right, thanks, I already habe a 780 but was thinking about swaping for more VRAM (780 has 3GB), more futerproof and hopefully a higher fps.

Sapphire makes great cards.
If you already have the 780, then wait for the next generation to come out. It will be out soon.

Keep on mind though, rough core power on both 970 and 390 is equiel and optimized for 4gb VRAM. What I'm saying extra 4gb vram might not be problem in first place if game is using 100% card and start throttling. Same thing as 980ti and Titan. If you aim for higher resolutions then 1080p then 390x perhaps. Otherwise Nvidia should be better especially with recent releases where Nvidia performed better.

Thanks ill definitely keep that in mind!

I would recommend the GTX 970 as it wins in all aspects. I wont recommend AMD at this point as their drivers are too buggy

So the fact it has 8GB VRAM as apose to the 4GB of the 970

4vb vram is more than enough for many here and 8gb is way overkill. Also the amd card will consume more power and will run hotter than its nvidia counterpart

On Ebay I don't understand why I can sell my 780 used for more than it is to buy a new 970 if the 970 is said to be better

 

[rounakr94]

How much are you getting for the 780 on ebay?

I found one for selling for £240 whereas I found a gtx 970 £220

 

[RockyPlays]

Overpriced, a used 780 is worth at most £180

 

[rounakr94]

Actually that depends on the base price the manufacturer set. Like same cards from different manufacturers can have a lot of margin between them. And the 780 and 970 are pretty much same in performance with the 970 excelling in many newer titles and beating the 780 in benchmarks.

Ok thanks

 

[Guest]

I already have a 780 and its not giving me any problems so would It be best to get a 970 when it starts to lag on newer games.

No wait for the next generation of cards. 970 is hardly an upgrade.

I can't afford a 980 though

+1 I bought one brand new from overclockers a few months back for £145+vat. I wouldnt change from a 780 to a 970 though, barely any difference in performance.
