So i originally wanted to wait for the new maxwell stuff and get a 880gtx but since nvidia is d*cking us around and now that i have the money saved up im thinking of getting something now. I normally only buy classified cards if im buying nvidia so that means i buy from evga. The 780ti is what i've had my eye on for some time now but we all hear rumors of this or that and maybe a 790 or maybe a higher than 3gb version of the 780ti and know im reluctant to buy. I want to upgrade i REALLY DO but the fact that current cards get such low fps in games such as crysis 3 makes me think this generation of cards isnt worth buying into. What do you guys think? I'm normally giving lots of advice here on toms but now im questioning my buying intelligence and require some assistance. So what you guys got for me?


Oh and i also was looking into the kingpin version of the 780ti because of the unlocked voltage and of course the special edition cooler. The regular classified 780ti from reviews has alot more room to go in terms of overclocking before it hits its limits on the air cooler so for me an unlocked card sounds pretty nice. Thats what i've loved about my current 560ti classified is its ability to put out such great performance with being over clocked.
 
I purchased it with the backplate. I have no doubt it will hold me over for awhile. Now im just waiting for the new processors and motherboards. As of now my 2500k and msi p67a-gd65 will do me well. Just wish my board was pcie 3.0 and not 2.0 but meh
