GTX 780TI vs GTX 980

r_Jay · Oct 19, 2014

Hey everyone, im looking to upgrade my pc this year and im stuck on what to get! All i can see when i research these cards is just conflicting opinions, can you guys give me just a simple verdict and reasons for?

Edit; my motherboard is a asus p8z77-v and my cpu is an i5 3770

theres not a lot to separate them to be honest.
especially as the 780ti just got a price drop. problem is currently the cards are selling at a premium, they should be retailing for 350 but instead there 450.
this negates any savings you may have made by getting the 980 as far as power consumption goes.
if you cn find a 980 for around £400 then go for it. if not then the 780ti will do the job just as well and in some cases a little better(due to higher amounts of vram)

Your cpu will be good for any top card.
Your question may be moot because the GTX980 is hard to buy today.

The cards are comparable, but I think I would opt for newer tech GTX980.
If you are thinking of a 4k tv monitor in the future, it will likely need the HDMI 2.0 on the GTX980.

Here are some game benchmarks http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1351?vs=1072
If your using s single 1080p monitor with a 60 refresh rate really a GXT 970 would do most people.
This is a 970 VS 780ti http://www.anandtech.com/bench/product/1355?vs=1072

gtx 980 is far better as its more power efficient and delivers more power than the 780ti and has more vram which will be better for 4k resolutions as well as multi-monitor displays. its also much cheeper than previously released flagship card (especially compared to when the titan launched) and being around £450 its the same as when the 780ti was released. if it were me i'd opt for the 980 especially as a high performance rig can be made consuming less than 750 watts. My pc consumes 750w and its no where near as powerful even with an overclock ( i have amd cpu and gpu so you know why).

already have 780Ti or deciding between the two?

HEXiT · Oct 19, 2014

while your quite correct tinydez. your forgetting the 980 is 100+ more. which will counter any savings it makes on power usage for at least 3 years maybe even more.
(depends how much you pay for electric.).

True but it'll be worth it and he won't need another gpu for a good 3 years so it kind of balances price for performance

r_Jay :

If you still want to play games in Windows Xp like Crysis, Witcher Enhanced,
Oblivion, Gothic 2,3....Fallout 3,etc.. get the 780ti....

GTX 980 DOES NOT support Windows XP... Be careful....

HEXiT · Oct 29, 2014

mate you can play all them games on win7, theres no good reason to stick with xp even if you only have a dx9/10 system.

Right now the EVGA GTX 780Ti Dual Classified http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00H9ZRCBO is an awesome buy for how excellent the card is. Just get a used one since EVGA's warranty will follow the card and not the owner. It can easily OC to match a GTX 980 and is much easier to find in stock. Not to mention, it's gonna save you about $50.
