Hi guys

I Checked Nvidia website and it looks like all these are Maxwell exclusive features which bumms me out cause i bought a used 780TI recently for a good price

Shall i sell it now, before the 780 prices drop and i can run with my old 670 until the 980/970 prices drop further

What are your thoughts?

Mate, I would stick with the 780TI. Those will be future proof for all games within the next 10 years alone.

If you aren't convinced, take a look at some of these benchmarks: https://www.google.com.au/search?q=GTX+780+ti+benchmark...

This is just my opinion though, and probably the opinion of many others as well. I'm not saying it's right, I'm just saying that if I had to choose, I would stay with the 780 ti.

the gtx 980/970 is great no doubt about that. but is it "sell my gtx 780ti for it" kind of great? nope. not at all. you cannot chase after the "newest best thing" all the time mate. you'll end up running in circles.

The GTX 970 and 980 are considered replacements for the GK 104 cards or the GTX 680/GTX 770. The really powerful GM 200 Maxwell cards designed to replace GK 110 or the GTX 780 and 780 Ti will be released early next year ( probably ) and be based on the new 20nm manufacturing process.

I would wait with a 780 Ti. I don't plan on upgrading my 780 until then. It still lets me max every game at 1920 x 1080. The 970 and 980 will not drop in price for years unless aliens come help AMD make something competitive powered by dark matter or unobtanium.

These guys are all stating the obvious. You have a killer gpu and it should keep you gaming for a long time.

I did look up the Benches and the 980 is not big improvement in terms of performance..makes me wonder why they decided to make all the new features exclusive to the Maxwell cards leaving all the customers behind who paid good money for recent hardware

http://game24.nvidia.com/maxwell/
MFAA, VXGI looks pretty neat and UE4 already supports all these so it wont be long before devs makes use of these

I dont upgrade all the time (Check my Specs on the sig) so thats why i thought weather it will be a good idea to sell the 780 when i can for a good price and move up
before doing anything i thought i should ask around and see

Well i will stick with the 780 anyway Selling it and praying to god that UPS wont loose or damage the package alone is a headache

with 670 for phsyx i should be good for a long ass time

I'm not sure what detail you went into other than a ludicrous statement about a 780 Ti being good for 10 years. Really? 10 years ago people probably felt the same about the FX 5900. They would have been wrong.

No need to be rude.

Sorry, when I replied with that message, I wasn't meaning to refer to my own comment, perhaps I should have worded it differently.

Watch the five minute video on the website, and it goes through a few specifications in the GTX 980, and compares it to other graphics cards.

Keep the 780 Ti a while and see what big Maxwell has to offer in a few months. The 20nm process should allow even higher clocks then these gems do. Unless you run at very high resolutions and need more power. Then GTX 970 Sli is amazing for $660 coming within 5% of a $1000 R9 295X at the highest resolutions and beating it handily at lower resolutions.

Check these out.

its called capitalism bro. why bother supporting existing cards (ancient dog shit in their eyes) when you can keep the money flowing with gullible customers buying new gpu's just for the sake of it. and a lot of folks are absolutely just like that (red or green). you are contemplating on buying these new cards so it means that their strategy really works.

I was actually planning on jumping ship to AMD..not that anything was wrong with my old 670, its still a beast of card on 1080p
then i got a good price and a monthly payment plan for this 780TI :D  from a friend who is leaving the country, he had this on his video rig

Take a hike fella.

OP using a 670 for physx is not worth it due to power consumption. You would also need a pretty decent psu to pull that off. Sell the 670 while it is still worth something and purchase a 750 to process those calculations and use the rest of the money to get games or take out a girl to the movies or put it towards rent or a decent bottle of scotch.

Yes a lot of or(s) is bad grammer but I think it makes the point all the same.

speaking of absurdly wrong grammar. not to mention total lack of credibilty. "Mate, I would stick with the 780TI. Those will be future proof for all games within the next 10 years alone." yeah your so called credibility just died there along with your sanity, clown.

Ohh the spec sheet on my Sig is old..I have a Corsair RM1000 PSU now
But yes the suggestion for the 750 is a very good idea Thanks for that....
and rest of the money will go to my Canon 70-200 f2.8 IS L dream fund :p

Wow lots of flaming going on here.

I don't feel minor add in features such as TXAA, PhysX, Mantle, MFAA or anything else of the sort should be a major factor.
Nice to have? Yes. Strictly required? Not really

A GTX780TI is still a *very* fast card (wish I had something in that performance class)
and it will still run everything on 1920x1080.

It doesn't seem worth it to spend $500-600 to buy Maxwell to get a few extra features
and 10-20% more performance.

I would suggest you wait a little down the road when upgrading makes more sense

I was merely pointing out a problem with your comment, and might I point out, it still persists. That comment I wrote literally took me 20 seconds to write, after which I went and looked at more graphics cards, and the GTX 790 (As shown by my later post).

Op I might even suggest forgetting about the dedicated gpu for physx, for the amount of games that support it I'm quite sure the GTX970 could handle it with minimal impact to frame rates.

Something i didn't see anyone point out, is Clock Speed being EQUAL, the 780 ti still edges out the 980.... From a performance angle. Yes Resale , you will get a better return on a 980 and if you really think your 780 ti is kicking your power bill's ass, then 980 wins there too. I would Keep the 780ti until the Real High End cards come out.

Guys don't forget the release of Direct X 12, in regards to power consumption, speed and proccessing.

There's still a lot to see with a lot of graphics cards out there. So keep your fingers crossed for benchmarking of hardware on the Release of Direct X 12.

Hold on to whatever you got because It's going to be a whole lot more exciting!
