Don't know which one to get. Will go triple monitors in future. 4k? No. Going to play games like Watch Dogs on max settings.. Which one would perform better? Also which one has the better energy consumption?
Thanks

Go with the 780ti. Its the better performing of the two. Also, the 780ti has lower power consumption from what I have read.

Given you are wanting to go triple monitors I would say the GTX 780 with 6GB RAM.

Another post just made me think about this, I monitor vRAM usage in games constantly. With Bioshock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Shogun II Total War, and other games I play, the highest vRAM usage I have ever had is 1800MB with max settings at 1080p.

Triple monitors will cut into this, and probably by next year games will need 3GB or more vRAM, and the triple monitors increases this all the more. I think you are best to get the vRAM. The lack of vRAM in those later games could create a bottleneck before you manage to max the 780ti out.

Is there a link that proves this? But wouldn't 6GB of VRAM be better for triple screen?

Thankyou very much for this information

The GTX 980 4GB will be out on September 19th with about 10% more performance than a GTX 780 Ti for $500.

What happened to the 800s?

Also it might be worth waiting for that. 3GB seems to little, 4GB probably sufficient even with 3 monitors.

There is already a mobile 800 series, so they are skipping directly to the 900 series to avoid confusion.

There is no way anyone should be making a high-end video card purchase a mere week and a half away from the debut of the next generation. Maxwell should prove to provide higher performance, lower power consumption, and lower prices for unbeatable price-performance. Current generation cards should also see a price drop at that time as well. So wait it out already!

Sort of like how they did with the 200 and 300 series right? Idk seems like they should name them the same or come up with a completely different numbering system or something. Owell.

That is true, even if you don't buy a Maxwell GPU, prices should drop on others so you would benefit by waiting.
