Kfa2 infin8 970 vs 780ti ocUk

[Td0g]

Hi guys,
Which of these two cards is the better performer? https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-010-GX
https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-208-OK

1. Which is the better performer out of the box?

2. Which is the better performer once overclocked?

I'm running a 1080p 144hz monitor
May get 1440p monitor at some point

Thanks for the help.
Im going to upgrade to 980ti when that eventually comes out btw.

Take a look here and make your own mind up:

Out of the box the 780Ti edges it. Once clocked the silicon lottery comes into play.

The reference 780Ti looks like it will clock well, even a 'bad' overlock will be at least on par with a 'good' 970 overclock (on paper at least). However, we don't know what the future holds with regard to driver optimisations.

And then you have dx12 comming into the mix, I'm about to go from my R9 280x to ANY nvidia card and looking at this. I'm wondering if this 3.5/512k split will change in dx12 games ?

I'd go 970 for 1080p, But I don't think either card is suitable for 1440.

how about holding off till R9 3 series are out?

The R3 series will be out soon even if you have your mind set on avoiding AMD cards I would wait too see what the knock on effect of their release has on the pricing of the current cards
