Planning to upgrade between the two, but cannot make up my mind on which one i should buy. I want to play games like WATCH DOGS and TITANFALL with maximum full out graphics with AA on 1920x1080. But i don't want to upgrade my graphics card for about 3-4 years time but will still be able to play future games on maxed out graphics. And which manufacture should i go with? i don't have EVGA in my country, I want the best Pre-overclocked speed.
 
Solution
For gaming 780 Ti

There are three categories of GFX cards:

a) Reference cards - why bother ?
b) No Reference Cards - Asus DCII, MSI N Gaming Series, Gigabyte Windforce, etc
c) Special cards - EVGA Classified , MSI Lightning / Hawk

The most commonly desired / bought are the b) category.

I'd rank them:

a) MSI N Gaming Series - great performance, unmatched cooling / low noise .... nothing else even comes close, very overclockable, high out of box OC
9.9 rating http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/MSI/GTX_780_Ti_Gaming/29.html

b) Gigabyte Windforce (loud tho)
Not tested by TPU

c) Asus DCII - very low clock outta the box, very overclockable
9.4 rating http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GTX_780_Ti_Direct_Cu_II_OC/29.html

Solution
While a game may be capable of using more than 3 GB of RAM, but just because they can "use it" does not mean that a game will be limited in any way or performance impacted by having less than that .... at least in single card configurations at 1920 x 1080. At least I have seen no evidence to that effect.



 
Yup.... as I said.....been running every other week .... was $600 until Friday IIRC.....was $600 2 weeks before and then again 2 weeks before that.....kind alike the Corsair 500R case which runs $90 every other week ..... one week that all at $100, next week white on is $90, next week black on is $90.....rinse and repeat. With the 880 rumors (and with the words "cheaper than 780 / 780 Ti" in the headlines) hitting the front page again today, I expect we'll see another bump down soon.

Thanks i think ill go with the MSI 780ti although in my country is around 850bucks so newegg doesnt help lol but thanks for the advice though, do you think i should go dual SLI? or is this enough to power my games? but SLI gpx memory doesn't stack so that might be a problem when i play games with heavy loads of gpx memory.
