GTX 770 vs 780?

[Jolly Devil]

Ok. So I'm currently using a Radeon R9 270x and I'm saving up for a new GPU. I really wanna get the GeForce GTX 780, but considering how much it cost, would it be better to just settle for the $350 (roughly) GTX 770 instead? I guess what I'm asking is, is the 780 that much more powerful that I should just keep saving up to get it instead?

It pretty much depends on what resolution you are going to be playing games at. My friend has a GTX 770 backed by a Core i5 CPU and it can run any game at 1080p above 60 FPS. Now he's trying out a demanding AA technology called downsampling which basically makes the graphics card render a much bigger image than the resolution of the screen and then downscale it and the card still doesn't have problems.

GTX780, you deserve it . For better game experience.

I have the ASUS DirectCU II GeForce GTX 780 Ti 3GB and love it!

Well it depends, first off what resolution are you gaming at?? if it's only 1080P then 770 will perfect for 1080P, but if you play at any higher resolution then 780 or 780 ti will do.

Why not crossfire another r9 270X?

I love my R9 270x, but I'm wanting to move over to Nvidia. And I just play games at 1080p. Going any higher right now isn't too much of a concern for me. I just want a card that can preform better than what I'm doing now. I get great performance with my R9 but it could be better.

This is my GPU. Absolutely adore it. I only run @1080p (only, not even the new gen of consoles can do that effectively on all games) and I get all the added extras of full physx (which is nice) and I am running as cool as you like for most games - not hotter than 55 - 60 degrees on my GPU. On benchmarks (which are synthetic and do not represent full "real world" usage) my card beats a single Titan. Bit lower on the VRAM than a Titan but it kicks the Titan's butt in most of the benchmarks. It cost a bit but I am safe in the knowledge that I will not be compromising on fidelity for frames.

I usually purchase a video card in the $300-400 range. I would buy the GTX 770.

If your doing 1080p, Gtx 770 should be enough. You'll mostly on average gain ~10 fps (depending AA) if you make a move for a Gtx 780 instead of the Gtx 770 at that resolution, which in my opinion, not worth the extra money.

Thanks for all the answers guys. I think I'm just gonna go with the GTX 770. Maybe I'll move to the 780 when it lowers in price in a couple of years. Cheers! :)

Just wait until the next series like the 800 series. lol
You won't see much diffrence in performance if you move up from the 770 to 780 since they perform pretty close together.

get the gtx 780 i got the asus direct ♥♥ 2 and i love it!!! worth the money games will become more demanding and a 770 now might be fine but some head room might be nice and i cant max out everything even witha 780 if i want 60fps but pretty much everything with metro last light being the exception so far

I have gtx 780 evga sc acx cooler ed. very pleased. I do run 2560x1440 res though.
