Asus DirectCU II GTX770 4GB or Zotac GTX 780 AMP! 3GB for 200$ extra?

Title may not be quite clear but i am not really asking if it is gtx770 or 780, we all know 780 is better. The question I am really asking is if Zotac GTX 780 AMP! 3GB edition is worth 200$ extra. I am going to buy the Asus one in a day or so (3 days tops) but i can squeeze a little more for a month and get the GTX 780 AMP!. Price difference is more than 400 Turkish Liras, which is approximately 200$. Does it worth it? I heard that Zotac is not as good as Asus or Gigabyte but it is a 780 after all?

Well, in terms of price to performance, no, the 780 is not worth it. However, if you want/need that performance increase then it is, of course, worth it. It really depends on whether the 770 will not be able to fulfill your requirements. Furthermore, if I were in your shoes, I'd probably spend a little extra to get an ASUS, MSI, or Gigabyte 780. That said, the Zotac will perform like a 780, but it just isn't guaranteed that you will be able to get anything more than 780 performance out of it.

that is what i also think, gtx 770 oc is way better than what i expect at this time, i am playing battlefield 4, and it is quite powerful on that. i am asking myself the question that is there a real difference for future games, because there isn't any on current ones (especially on 1080p which i am going to play on)

i think i will stick with asus 770 and make it 4gb just incase i will use multiple monitors later.

Good call, at 1080p the 770 will perform fine and then if you go multi monitor you can SLI with another 4gb and have a powerful set up. A 770 would struggle slightly at multimonitor resolutions, should get high graphics on most games with no AA.

performing fine is not what I agree on. Based on performance, go for the gtx780amp 3gb....this will get you the resolution you need and the performance at same time. You get what you pay for, why spend something that cant satisfy what you need. Since you have the money to get the better one....why think of the cheaper with lower performance? Zotac 780amp 3gb is your best option. Just my two cents.
