780 SLI to 780 Ti SLI, Stupid idea ?

[Dicehunter]

Got the upgrade bug and I know its a stupid idea I just need someone else to affirm this, Stay with what I have and wait for Maxwell ?
Also got both cards clocked at 1228/3420 game and bench stable.

Can't justify the cost for the little benefit it'll give you.

Haven't found anything that makes my 780s struggle.

 

[whyscotty]

Keep what you have

If you are just using them for gaming I think you would need FRAPS running to tell the difference.

Yep its stupid, you would not notice the difference in game, i was offerd a pair of gtx 780's the other day for £580 and as tempted as i was i relised my 7970 crossfire plays everything fine so why bother, going to keep my money and skip a gen and see what comes around next time

Thanks peeps

To look at things from a different angle - I think that you should upgrade BUT as part of the process you need to sell your existing 780's to me at a much reduced price (10% of cost sounds about right eh')

Wait for Maxwell IMHO!

Wait for Maxwell IMHO!

+1

This is what im waiting for. Going from a 680 myself i dont think i would notice any huge difference for the res im playing at and the settings im playing at.

I've had same thoughts, but I know it's just crazy, my 780's are just awesome, 780 Ti would be just a side step and as others have mentioned you'll see no difference in gaming unless you wanna play the fraps monitoring game.
Bit my tongue, slapped myself round the face, looked in the mirror and said "WAIT FOR MAXWELL"

As I have not seen you hurting your 780's in any of the bench threads, stick with what you have. 780 to 780Ti is for us fools who like benching hard

I think fools would be lightly putting it

I did ask my friend in work and he just said this

"Do you have **** written on your forehead ?"

Got to agree with him, And the replies here, Would be a waste of money.

One can but try

If I asked my mates at work, they would just stare at me and then tell me they have a Dell laptop (99% of them anyways).

I tried to explain to one of them about benching and his reply was "The graphics in GTA V on his Xbox are awesome" and he was being serious. I just agreed and made a cuppa

I showed a friend in work my new corsair 800d case, his reply was that i must have a very old pc to need such a large case and he had a modern new small laptop, i had no answer and just walked away

You should see the look on your workmate faces when you show them a Rad,waterpump,Reservoir and waterblocks..........

How how crazy they think you are after you showed them the total cost you spent...

Perhaps it is us who are mad and they are the sane ones lol

Never! Begone and never speak of such foul treachery!

I made the switch from 7970 crossfire to 780 sli a few month ago so I'm hesitant to go Ti sli when my MSI gaming editions reach 1200mhz easy. They just look so damn sexy though
