Hello all,
I just recently bought a Nvidia GTX 970.
I didn't know about the 780ti at the time of purchasing and I am feeling a little stupid about buying the 970 when i could of got the 780ti for pretty much the same price on ebay!
Should i get a refund on my 970 and buy a 780ti instead? Is the 780ti a lot better performance wise?

The 780 ti at stock is actually worse than the 970 in most cases. The 780 Ti can overclock well though and it will slightly surpass the 970. All in all, both cards are about the same price. The 970 has newer architecture, uses less power, keeps its fans off below 50C, and will be better supported by drivers in the future. Newer cards are always better than an older used card of very similar performance.

So keep your 970 and enjoy it :D
