I've played Titanfall to death and am thinking about taking a break from PC gaming.. Got to much to play on console as it is lol. I might downgrade until next year when the new cards / CPU's Broadwell / Haswell -E are out. Witcher 3 could tempt me back to the high end..

Would I be missing out is their anything worth keeping my cards for until then?
 
What games did you purchase both your 780's for? Play some Arma 3, whether its breaking point, KOTH or wasteland, lots of fun to be had.

Upgrading more just out of habit, like to have a decent system but Titanfall is the only game I have been playing on PC tbh, but have played it to death now lol. Been using the PS4 more. The only game I can really think I would like high end for is Witcher 3, that's not due until next year. By then better cards and CPU's will be out. Tempted to sell my Ti's now and get back into things next year when new stuff / games are out.. We know Nvidia / AMD are about to drop more 28nm cards to milk us again. I want no part in this haha. Think it's a good time to recoup the value in my Ti's and then jump back in when things have moved on a bit..


Watch dogs.

Watch Dogs looks nice, forgot about that one.. I'll still have my Xeon 1230v2 and got a spare HD 7950 3GB or HD 7850. Think they will be able to handle medium - high settings? If so am really tempted to sell my Ti's and just drop back into high end when things progress..
 
Yeah I would recommend you sell those cards as soon as possible as it's quite easily obvious that the tech from these "next-gen" consoles just can't keep up, and they will (and already are) a waste of power, unless you see yourself buying a couple others and playing games @ 120fps in 4k resolutions (which again, the technology just isn't there yet anyway, so what's the point in having them while they just depreciate in value). We're only really at the start of the console generation - consoles launches, few exclusives to show of each specific console, etc, you get the rest. Nothing is pushing the boundaries just yet, and wont be for some time. The only technically impressive games I can see coming out soon (which might not even be good games in terms of gameplay, which is the entire point) are Watchdogs (see above), The Witcher 3 (delayed anyway), Wolfenstein: The New Order (even that looks "eeh"), and Arma 3 is already out, but it's a great looking game but severely unoptimised.

Ty, this is what I think. They will just sit in my PC and depreciate.. The game I really wanted the Nvidia cards for was Witcher 3, but I got them and then the game got delayed until 2015. By then it's possible 20nm GPU's will be much better than what we have now.

I'll chuck either the HD 7950 3GB or HD 7850 2GB we have here in my PC so will still be able to play thing on mid - high @ 1440P. These Ti's are just overkill for me when there isn't anything truly worth keeping them for on the horizon..

I'll be back in 2015 in time for Witcher 3 lol.
 
We could always see something released at E3 possibly, but other than that nothing immediately jumps to mind that hasn't been mentioned already.

Maybe The Division if it gets released this year.

The Division looks great, was gonna get that one on PS4.

To many games to actually play tbh..

Mario Kart 8.
The Order: 1886.
The Last of Us Remastered.
Destiny.

Thanks for the input guys. I've put my cards on MM. Can live with a 7950 3GB until next year sometime. I'll go high end again in time for Witcher 3 on PC. Hopefully by then a single 20nm GPU can run it well @ 1440P.
