GTX 780 still a good card for 145 used?

I'm hating the AMD drivers on my second build so looking to switch out my 7950 for a NV card...

Nothing by NV touches the gtx 780 at this price point does it ?

It is the best nv card at that sort of money. Next step up is a 970. Which tbh isn't that much better but will cost a fair chunk more.

Yeah that's what I thought...it's for a second system so it doesn't need to be cutting edge ...

Plus the the 970 only has 500mb more ram

Looks like a pretty good price to me.

Squink · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:11

Not exactly a bargain at £145. They were under £200 new about 7 months ago.

yoyo59 · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:15

yes thats a good deal

for the price no card can touch it

Geeman1979 · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:18

It's a fair price, jump on it if you're after one.

setter · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:26

Pretty decent price yep, sold my pair last week but got a bit more for each of them.

PhysicsMan94 · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:29

£145 is a good price I'd say.

My dual 780s are still going strong, eating through every new title at 1440p

sieze2 · 12 Jun 2015 at 19:45

That's a great price. I had no idea they had fallen that low

clone · 12 Jun 2015 at 20:17

Worth buying it mate I sold my 780ti kingpin but ive now bought it back as its a good clocker and I payed for the 5 yr warranty on it and it will do me for a few years yet.

smilertoo · 12 Jun 2015 at 20:25

If it's working 100% then that's a great price.

EdgeDs · 12 Jun 2015 at 20:37

That is a great price if the cards in good working condition

What's wrong with the AMD drivers?

What is so wrong with AMD drivers?

I have both an Nvidia powered gaming laptop, and an AMD powered desktop, and I really don't get what the big thing is about AMD drivers, beyond alledgedly poor crossfire support.....but I wouldn't touch dual GPU with a bargepole so........

Kirby Wurm · 12 Jun 2015 at 20:58

That's a fantastic price considering some on ebay are still going for up to £220 (EVGA SC ACX cards and such).

Razor Time · 12 Jun 2015 at 21:55

Cheap as chips

ALXAndy · 12 Jun 2015 at 22:37

I wouldn't say it's cheap. I bought a 290 for £135 about six months ago and it was every bit as fast, or faster, than a 780 and had more VRAM.

It's OK. You'll still get good performance out of it so long as Nvidia don't pull any more of their driver derping stunts.

Phixsator · 12 Jun 2015 at 22:57

the 780 is a solid performer.. Cant believe i managed to sell my 13 days ago for 210 pounds

No real surprise, Nvidia cards hold their value well.
