Ok, this is a very strange situation. I was thinking on either getting a Gigabyte 970 or an Asus R9 280x. Then doing more research in Mexican stores, I found a PNY GTX 780 CC OC in about $386.25 USD, and a PNY GTX 970 XLR8 in about $403.84 USD.
I'm not really thinking that's the best 780, nor thinking that's the worst 970. It's just that the 780 has a faster clock than the Strix version, and the 970 has the lowest clock I've seen.
Which one do you think will make me last 3-4 years without dropping the graphics settings in games a lot? I'm not really into OC anything, and according to some reviews some 780s beat the 970, but since I don't think that I need more than 60 fps by now (I'm happy with my IPS monitor), I don't know if that extra 2 or 3 fps will make a difference by the time games need more than 3 GBs of VRAM.
I am asking for these two particular cards, since the second slowest clocked 970 is about $40 USD more, which is the EVGA SC ACX 2.0, and the 780 (actually the only model) is just $10 USD more expensive than a R9 280x
Which one would you choose if you were me?
