Keen to upgrade to this and have seen the US price will be $699 which 'should' calculate out at £438! BUT we NEVER get that good a deal over here so does anyone know what the actual UK price will be? And also when the likelihood of the EVGA ACX version coming out?

Just for reference the current US price for an EVGA 780 Classified is $579.99 which should be £363.88 BUT the current UK price is £462.94 :-(

So going by that surely the 780ti should come in at about £550-600 in the UK, anyone have a better idea than I do?

Ive never liked Nvidia as a company, all of their GPU's are overpriced in my view. I also agree with Novuake, the R9 290x is better value and with large memory bus e.g. it should be more future proof especially with 4k resolutions coming out.

I really need one ASAP though and don't like the idea of the 290x (have read a lot about it), am only using a single monitor at 1920x1080 and don't ever plan on changing that configuration.

My backup plan is an EVGA 780 Classified 3GB (Currently £463) so does anyone know how I can expect something like BF4 to perform with this card, details below:

Required settings: Ultra 60fps at the very least
Res: 1920x1080
Monitor: 1
CPU: FX8350 4.4GHz
RAM: 16GB Corsair 1600MHz
SSD: Samsung 840 (non Pro)
PSU: Goldfield 700w (Peak)

For reference my current card in the above rig is a Gigabyte 650ti which runs BF3 on High/Ultra (no AA) at an average of 75fps, its struggling on BF4 though as it's only seeing an average of 50fps on Medium settings (no AA).

It will run Battlefield 4 Maxed, if you cannot wait until non reference models are released for the R9 290x then you can go with the GTX 780, maybe look into the R9 280x which is older architecture and should be more matured than R9 290x.

Well that's all I'm after really so maybe 780ti is overkill for me. I've not had much luck with amd cards in the past so want to stick with nvidia for now so will prob get the 780 Classified then. How does the evga step up program work if I want to upgrade to the 780ti soon ish?
