Current offer on the 780ti's have me tempted to swap from my 670 4GB's , and it's in price range of the new 970s too so which would be the better choice based on raw performance not too bothered about heat/noise/power consumption.

Many thanks!
 
I think the 970 has dx12 support which the 780ti doesn't. I read (somewhere) the new unreal engine will be dx12 heavy, apparently as soon as that was released (as an official statement) 780ti price plummeted. Twas around the 970/980 release too though.

Basically I'd go for the 970. Stunning card for the money.
 
The 780Ti beats the 980 in some benches/games so its no doubt faster than a 970 and Nvidia have stated all the card back to the 400 series so GTX 480 era will support DX12 (there is a thread on it).

DX12 is not out yet so nobody knows how much support each card will get.

To buy a card today I would buy a 900 series though I do not really like the smaller Bus and the compression it uses has been shown to not ways be as good as a wider bus and can hurt performance.

Trouble with compression is it is very good at compressing something like this forum image as there is large chunks of the same in it but where there is a lot of variation like in a graphically demanding game at high resolution it could even be slower than not using it at all. You sometimes see something similar with SSDs comparing ones that use compression and ones that don't.
 
That is what I compared it to in my previous comments.

Need some thing like Toggle NAND where it can flick on/off compression but then your going to need the wider Bus.

Still good to have both features on the next card which should have wider Bus.
 
Gibbos review shows the 980 had to be 1500-1600mhz (which not all can hit) to beat the 780Ti and the Ti was not the fastest clocked sample as some hit 1250-1300mhz.

Extra VRAM is good but the narrow bus is not and the compression (which is not perfect just like SSD's) has been shown to hurt performance at times.

1 of my single Ti's factory overclocked (MSI Gaming) which boosts to 1111mhz out box beats my Galax 970 EXOC boosting to 1504mhz by nearly 100 points on Heaven 4.0 benchmark.

Make of that what you will.
 
Interesting proposals going on here, mainly I think I want to go from SLI to a single card solution partly due to the games I'm playing (Less than half utilize SLI effectively)

It seems both the ti and new 900 series are pretty competitive, one has less memory but a much faster bus and the other has a compressive bus with more memory.. this is a hard one to choose from assuming both the 780ti and 970 have DX12 support as I will be moving on to Win10 if it's a decent OS

the most Vram I have used in my current set up is 2.4Gb on BF4/Crysis 3 maxed out to the limit of my hardware so that is getting close to the 3GB the TI has although I doubt I will max out the Vram on 1080p games any time soon even when I had 1GB card and used 99% of the Vram It didn't slow down so is it that much of a concern?
 
I missed that you had 670 SLI, I thought it was a single 670.

Stuck with what you have for now. You'll have more options on a few months.
