hi all,

im thinking of upgrading my 780ti if just my cpu upgrade isnt going to help much in the future.

im thinking of going for a i5 8400/ ryzen1600
8gb DDR4

i currently have a fx6300 OC to 4.5
gtx780ti
8gb DDR 1600mhz
and 750w PSU

how well had the 780ti aged? will i see much more with even just a gtx 1060/1070/1070ti?
 
a 1070 would be a very nice upgrade from the 780ti.
your cpu is pants though so i would probably upgrade cpu mobo and ram first.

i just looked at benchmarks just didnt seem that much more but i guess that tells half the story.

is it not worth getting the 1070ti its nearly the same price?
 
I went from a EVGA GTX780 FTW which was almost at 780ti performance and upgraded to a GTX1070 and in some games performance doubled. The 1070 is also cooler running and far more energy efficient so it was a worthwhile upgrade.

are the 1070 minis worth looking at?
 
I'd probably sit tight on upgrading the graphics card. Pascal is based around a very old design and must be very close to getting replaced now.

Consumer Volta will likely be released in q1 2018 but given the lack of any credible competition from AMD at the top end I would not be surprised if we see a repeat of the Maxwell release schedule (with the budget 750ti being released in February of 2014 with the 970 and 980 being released in September of the same year).

Maybe called a 1065/1060ti?

There isn't that much need for nvidia to bring out a new `1170/1180' early in 2018 when they can just keep selling 1070(ti's), 1080(ti's) and pascal titan cards whilst they have circa 70% of the gpu market...

Still nvidia have history for surprising the market with new releases (although recently this has mostly been in the high end titan and xx80ti releases)

But in the real world AMD are right on Nvidia though and ahead in many ways. Only the focus group have convinced themselves otherwise.

DX12 hardware is long overdue from Nvidia and Pascal is really old now.
 
OP,sorry about all the people bickering to justify their own purchases - its getting progressively worse and worse here. I apologise for the forum.

Looking at your setup,you might be as CPU limited and VRAM limited in some modern titles(more than GPU limited),especially if you are running games at 1080p.

Is your RAM running in dual channel and are the games running off an HDD or an SSD. Some games can actually have noticeably better performance if an SSD is used for example(well ones with lots of mods).

I think its more relevant to know what games you want to run,and at what resolution. What 750W PSU do you have??

OK,I looked at another thread the OP made:

https://forums.overclockers.co.uk/threads/is-my-ram-bottle-necking-my-pc.18801838/#post-31384442

They are using dual channel RAM.

They also have a 34" FreeSync monitor which is 1080p,so I assume its one of the 2560X1080 ones??

Can you clarify what model you are using OP??

They also play PUBG.

I would say looking at that,perhaps they should try the CPU upgrade path first. It also looks like they say their system RAM is maxed out too.

So OP,if I were you try the platform upgrade for now and stick with the GTX780TI and see how you fare with the game. Since you have FreeSync it might be worth looking at an AMD card at a later date,providing its not overpriced,but the latter part is very important.

From what I gather from looking at some reviews of PUBG its not too bad with VRAM usage,although I don't know if the later updates have changed that.
 
As said very early on in this thread, upgrade your CPU first. You will actually probably find you get a few more FPS when you do that, even on your 780ti.
 
I went from a 780GHz - with the clocks I was running was basically a 780ti for all intents a purposes to a fairly basic 1070 - performance across the board is pretty much up by atleast 70% and in some cases double.

EDIT: But you ain't gonna see that kind of jump on that CPU as others have said.

Get a grip.

And as per usual no sources or third party reviews or assessment to support jiggers assertions. Colour me not surprised.

Gysnc is more expensive but technically superior tech to free sync as well....

OK so you must be drinking the focus group juice too.
First you say AMD need to revamp a card becuase the memory bus will pull 20 watts? Then say Nvidia are better even after I point out that adding the Gsync mod will add another 50watts? To every Pascal card .AMD have found a way to work that 50 watts into every card and work the cost in too.

Add another 50watts and £200 to every Pascal card. Now tell me AMD aren't competitive... Nvidia desperatly need to move on from Pascal and Im sure they will know that.

You do talk some rubbish - the S2716DG in comparable circumstances to a similar monitor uses 47 versus 44 watt - the Altera FPGA is rated for <2 watt.

G-Sync adds no additional power use on the GPU itself an infact slightly saves on power use (but not to any significant amounts).

EDIT: Infact some irony for you - the closest nearest FreeSync competitor to the Dell uses 37% more power in comparable circumstances - or ~12watt more.

I'm sorry I don't have a clue what you are on about now... Can you help an older fella and point out where I was talking about AMD needing to revamp their cards or the power usage of a memory bus/Gysnc module in this thread (or any other thread for that matter)
