I wanted to ask if a 780ti superclocked will be basically obsolete after pascal is released?
(funny seems not all that long ago this card was considered GOD!)
If so i was thinking of selling it NOW before it is no longer desirable at all.
My main card is a 980 classified with the 780ti being in my back up tower.
even the 980 classified i just got a few months ago has me worried about
even being "good enough" after the release of this pascal chip.
Should i be more worried about the status quo or what still plays games well?
I hope someone understands what i am asking here? thanks

No, it'll still perform well in 1080P... GTX 780 Ti is designed to ace 1440P. But, like the GTX 980 Ti with 4K, it falls short by 20 FPS. It's still good at 1080P, no doubt.

Thanks that is good to hear. I paid over $600 for it when it first came out and i see used they are selling for as low as $275!
that also means my 980 classified is still good for 1440p for a while yet.
I have been using the nvidia DRS at down scaling 1440 on a 1080 moniter and it looks real good
very crisp and clear.

Yeah i just picked up a GTX 780 Ti for $250 to hold me over until the Titan X2 in April. If you are planning on doing more than 1080P gaming I would sell that card before it becomes nearly worthless.

You could just use the GTX 780 Ti as a phyx CUDA card. With all these games running GameWorks it might give you a good frame boost to offload the physx to a second card. Thats what i'm planning on doing.

Thanks i will have to look in to the phyx CUDA card idea.
I am not familiar with that?
So i would/could use it with my 980 classified?

basically it would offload all the physx based stuff onto the second card (which you setup in the nvidia control panel) that way the first/main gpu can focus soley on rendering. this can boost games upwards of 20%. sometimes even more. games like Borderlands 2 can start to really bog down when you have thousands of things going on. off load that and your game runs smoothly.

Witcher 3 runs better since GameWorks crushes GPUs when hair and water physx.

Now I agree a GTX 780 Ti might be overkill for this but you don't want to slow GPU or it WILL hold you back and cause low FPS. When I ran Titans in SLI I used a GTX 680 as phsyx card. Got about 15% boost in games. Using a low end card like GTX 750ti caused it to run about 80% of what it normally did with just SLI.

I'm going to say no. So for example... My 4 year old 570 was rated 4300 ish on passmark... And my new 970 is 8800, so about 100% in 4 years / 25% per year. Nvidia embellishes like any company. I would bank on roughly 20% increase this year, so not obsolete?

If your 20% performance increase is correct about the pascal i wont be too bummed
the 980 classified i use as my main card is a very fast card and plays all my games on max at 1080p
even when i use DSR i get very good FPS.
and the 780ti will still be a competitor and not obsolete and is a great backup to the 980 classified.
