What will happen with the 780 ti now that these new cards are out?

Hey man thanks for the quick reply. I've actually been dealing with the same MSI rep for a while now and he seems like a decent guy. I asked him about it today actually and he said they don't really do that. I also told him that maybe his supervisor or whoever has the authority could do it for me, considering this is the third time I'm having to RMA the card. I'll try and reason with him again but if it doesn't work then I'll try and ask to speak to the supervisor and whine as much as possible lol.

MSI is responsible for the card malfunctioning so many times for sure but I feel like I should also be calling Nvidia and ranting about how I feel like they pulled one over on me. Then again, I'm not the only one to have bought a 700 series card this year. I feel like we all need to bring out the torches and pitchforks and demand trade ins

Hey jack. You prob don't remember me but the case and motherboard I am using for my RIG right now were bought per your recommendation
Carbide 500R and MSI G45 mobo.

I know the card got a 9.9 on techpowerup. I chose this card because it had one of the highest factory OCs and it was also the quietest card. Of course I read all that in the 9.9 review. I also bought the card before it started going on sale, I was pretty ticked when I saw the card at $630 lol.

The original card was flawless, at first. It was virtually silent and ran like a charm however, after some time passed it was still working but it began making this ridiculously loud noise so I sent it in. The replacement they sent me was broken. It went to a black or blue or green or w.e color screen every 10 seconds so I sent it back. They sent me a brand new one in sealed box to replace that one.

This last card that I had worked perfectly fine this whole time but it had a coil whine (many of these do as reviewers have said on newegg and other places). This week though it messed up. I was playing Diablo 3 and everything was fine and then I turned off Diablo 3 and booted up Titanfall. It wouldn't go passed the "connecting" screen and when I took off my headset I heard a weird noise coming from the computer. I tried a different game and the noise was there and the game just crashed after a few seconds and this happened across multiple other games. I took the card out and put in an R9 270 from Gigabyte. Everything worked fine except of course Dead Rising 3 had to be played at like 720p with all settings on low to get anywhere near 60fps but then the game looked so bad I just turned it off and won't play again till I get my card back.

I called my rep at MSI and he said its the card send it in so I did. After I sent it in I thought about one thing that could have been effecting the card. This happened twice in the last few months, I press the power button on the computer and it doesn't turn on but after I press it 3-4 times it turns on (this happened when the 780 ti was still in there). After I put in the R9 270 it worked fine for a few days and then one day I press the power button and the PC does not turn on, I pressed the power button like 10 times and it still did not turn on. This frustrated me because I thought It could be the PSU, or the Mobo or even the power button. Besides the cost or RMA process I would also have to bring the PC to someone to install the replacement part because I don't know how to do it myself. It would be another mission with this PC that I really did not want to take not to mention I'd not have use of my PC for some time. I tried unplugging the power cord and plugging it back in and nothing. Then I thought maybe it's the cord although I think it's unlikely but can't hurt to try a different one. I used a different power cord and the PC booted up from first press no problem. So now I'm thinking maybe the card was not getting enough juice because of that cord and now the RMA dept is going to get a perfectly working card (minus the damn coil whine). I was actually going to RMA the card as soon as I got it because of the coil whine, had the RMA papers printed out and everything but I decided not to as I was too lazy and annoyed to do it again and with the game sound on I didn't really hear it.

So yea thats that. I should have phrased the "failed 3 times" part differently sorry. Still, I don't like the coil whine and I've read that I can request an RMA if it has coil whine and that I don't have to put up with it.

Oh and the PSU is a Seasonic X series Gold 1050W. The case has good airflow and the card never goes above 70 degrees.

This is completely off topic but... Although I'm happy with my PC I still want to change it and really it's only because of the looks lol I know sounds stupid.

My RIG is

Case- Carbide 500R
Mobo- MSI G45
CPU Cooler- Noctua NH-D14

The case is the white one with the black in the middle and the mobo is black and red and the cooler is well you know what it looks like.
This stuff don't match. I'd want a black case, maybe with red LED's like the new Graphite 780t, can use same mobo although I'd prob want one of the new mobos from Asus or MSI (black and red). And for the cooler I'd want to have that Cooler Master V8 GTS or maybe a Liquid cooler.

I got a nice new desk the other day and the top is tinted glass. The monitor is black and has the red LED circle light. I have Razer Deathadder 2013 and Black WIdow Ultimate Stealth keyboard and they both have the green lights. I'd rather have the new Chroma keyboard/mouse so I can change the color to red to match this LED light but I bought these on August 2nd and didn't know those Chroma were coming out. I also had a 40 dollar discount on anything above 60 bucks from Micro-Center. When I found out the Chroma were coming I thought about returning these but figured I was too lazy and didn't care enough.

But I would like to change how the PC looks

That sounds terrible, atleast you got a next gen card of it.

Now I really want two of those 970s. I mean come on, I paid $715 for this 780 ti and one of the 970s gives almost identical performance (as well as other benefits) and costs $330? How does that even make sense! I'd understand it if I had bought this 780 ti two years ago, hell even one year but what a few months? Instead of advertising this card as "the best GPU in the world" they should have said "Skip this, get the next one".

I'm going to try and get MSI to do something for me and if I can't I guess I'll just have to try and sell it.

I wanted to ask you also, I have the 4670k CPU and I want to know three things about it. First, would it be able to handle two 970s or 780 ti type cards without bottlenecking them?

Would I gain much in game performance if I overclocked it? Also, would a more powerful CPU like that new 5820k I think it is give much of a boost in performance or not really?

Yea I've read the CM V8 isn't the greatest performer but I just meant I like the way it looks. All of those look nice too but I'd probably want to stay with the red and black theme but those two big coolers look nice, especially the white fans one.

I can't bring myself to change all this stuff just because of looks though. But I will def be doing something about the GPU. One 780 ti is good on 1440p and I have Gsync so that helps but it isn't perfect. I think two of any of these cards would be good though provided everything falls into place with the drivers and game optimization and all that.
