I can currently pick up a 780 TI in good condition for £150 on sale. Should i get it or are there any other better GPUa or SLI/Crossfire setups under £190?

Only trouble with that line of thought is that you can do it all day!

"but is the extra £40 ontop of that worth it for the next card up?"
 


guess so but i wouldnt go that far

just think an 8gb card is more future proof than a 4gb one

True, but "how" future proof varies from person to person, if you heavily mod Elder Scrolls & Fallout series, then VRam is a major concern, however if your running, say a 1920x1200 resolution and are happy with med-low settings, by the time you need 8GB over 4GB your probably going to need a new card anyway, as it won't be fast enough to play the games that use 8GB from the get go.


1GB cards can still survive today, barely, but they can. So it might be a while before 4GB is not enough, like 3-4 years?, by which point you may need to upgrade anyway at the rate Graphics Cards are coming out, along with the games capable of abusing them.
