What would you buy and why??
Game at 1080p and 120hz
Currently my 780 does very well in bf4, a few settings are dropped and it looks great to me, as i like blowing the crap out of everything in my boat!! Framerates can drop which are noticeable at times.
Also for those that know me i like the odd benchmark so what do i do??

Another lightning would most definitely give me the extra frames but from my experience due to the poor memory is not going to set the tables on fire!

Waterblocks are a must.

Very tempted by the 780Ti kpe and i'm led to believe that these will use the standard classified block.

What about the 290X Lightning??

Only thing is benchmarks are short lived but what would you do??

290X Lightning x2 Nick. :cool:

Its about time you came home, you've been gone far too long. :p
 
Very much doubt i'll get 2 mate + blocks, and i will admit by the too many problems being reported, all the 290 series cards have superb performance but i cant overlook some of the problems
 
At a guess how much of a percentage increase in frames for a well clocked Ti would it get me in BF4
Run my lightning at 1250 in game. Would this work out at about 1000 for a Ti?
 
KPE Nick. It is about time I add you on top of the charts :p If I wasn't going for that 1440P 120Hz Asus monitor, I would have one on order.
 
Either 780ti classy, 290x ltg (remember blocks will be another few months after release if you're lucky for the ltg!!).

Greg mentioned it so I'll suggest it, keep the 780 and buy the asus monitor, no need to worry about low frame lag etc...

Not a bad shout Paul :)
 
i cant make up my blinking mind, both will have the power i need one option way more than the other, but i'm likely to change cards before games will utilise all that at 1080
