Save the money and spend it on a GTX 780, you will still be able to play on 70+FPS. Heck even with my GTX 580 im able to play BF3 at an average 80 FPS on Ultra. I've been rocking the GTX 580 for 4 years, and haven't run into any problems, except just some dust build up which is easy to clean. Im sure a GTX 780 could last for at least 5 years

GTX 780 ti is a graphics card that will give you ulta settings on all games. This meaning its future proof making it good for long time.

But because Nvidia is bringing out more GPU next month i would reccommend for you to wait as the prices will go down and you could even get a titan which will last you even longer time and its even more powerfull.

What resolution do/will you play at. GTX 780Ti is still king for gaming.

1080p ultra settings with all bells and whistles lol

You have the money - if you can't wait for 800 series - buy the 780Ti now.

yh but I cant decide to go with either 780 or 780 ti ? lol

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

sorry dish moose what 780 ti should I get ?

^ For a 1080p a 780 will be good enough, what hz monitor do you have? 60,122 or 144? For a 1080p a 780ti isn't really worth it, you'll get the same results with a 780, only if you are on 1440p or 4k will it be better or a higher refresh rate

I use a 60hz Toshiba 32 " lcd screen

legend001523 · Aug 31, 2014

Get a 780 6gb version then, that'll help with future games or multi moniyir in the future

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

where can I buy in uk a 780 6gb and which is the best one etc many thanks

I would recommend an EVGA GeForce GTX 780 Ti Classified K|NGP|N Edition. That thing comes with an overload of gaming performance and a reasonably high clock rate at 1072MHz. This will last you quite a while and will only cost you £500.

It can suck up to 450 watts of power at its highest times, so you know this thing is hardcore! Or you could wait a little while for the 800 series and watch the 700 series drop in price.

legend001523 · Aug 31, 2014

Is there a lingpin 780? Thought it was just 780 ti

BoomBox27 · Aug 31, 2014

Or if you want a 6GB version, you can get an ASUS GeForce GTX 780 6GB STRIX OC for only £361.43

any other uk sites as that is out of stock

BoomBox27 · Aug 31, 2014

legend001523 :

I don't think there is a K|NG|N 780. There is a Superclocked 780 6GB edition instead of the Overclocked edition on the other side.

legend001523 · Aug 31, 2014

^ which is what I suggested

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

will that be a good card and will it max out games like bf4 and watchdogs etc with 6gb v ram ?

BoomBox27 · Aug 31, 2014

It should definatly max out watch dogs and BF4 with very good and stable FPS.

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

wow I think I will go with the above and 6 gb ram should last a long time right ?

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

has anyone got one as I don't see any reviews ?

legend001523 · Aug 31, 2014

This is asus strix but you will be able to expect similar results with the evga, I orefer strix and it'll help with 4k ot 1440p too, max out bf4 on 1080p 60-80fps

trawetSluaP · Aug 31, 2014

Wait for the new cards to be announced.

If rumours are to be believed it's going to be the 900 series and they're going to be very powerful and cheaper than the current crop of cards.

chris78 · Aug 31, 2014

okay I will do that any idea when lol ?

new gpu for £520 ?
