Upgrade from 780 to 780ti?

I just wondered if anyone out there upgraded from a 780 with a modest oc to a 780 ti? Generally the 780 runs most games really well for my res 1920x1200 but there are a few that can't maintain a solid 60 at max settings. AC4 and batman origins with TXAA come to mind.

I've seen some benchmarks comparing the two models and sometimes there's at least 10fps when both overclocked but just wondering if anyone had buyers remorse from the upgrade.
 
AC4 is not great at the moment but that is the price of using GameWorks :D Only joking but I wouldn't jump from a 780 to a 780Ti personally for gaming.
 
this could explain a few things;

The associate producer, Sylvain Trottier said;
"It's always a question of compromise about the effect, how it looks, and the performance it takes from the system. On PC, usually you don't really care about the performance, because the idea is that if it's not [running] fast enough, you buy a bigger GPU. Once you get on console, you can't have this approach."

So basically, we don't care about optimising for PC.

Well, that's nice of them...
 
For the price of a new 780Ti you can get two 2nd hand 780's that will blow it away.

Since you already have one 780 the choice is obvious.

I remember getting bad fps on AC3 with my 2500k too. It's just how it is.

That is why you should not give them your money.
 
hmm yeah a 2nd 780 would make more sense cost and performance wise. I'd have to get a brand new psu though so that would need to be factored in.

Thinking about it SLI on a asus mvg might be a bit tight.
 
running a overclocked 780 ti on a hx520 and no problems, max I've seen it draw on crysis 3 is 430w, which is about 345w @ 80% efficiency.

AC4 with any kind of soft shadows or phsyx cripples FPS, it just seems poorly coded. I would say a second 780 would give you better performance
 
some games just run like a pig (Twin GTX 670's overclocked to 1202/7008 still wont give me above 60fps all the time on some titles with max on everything, I'm suspecting I need an i7 to keep up though) Bad optimisations and little you can do about it. On the plus side the consoles don't have anywhere near as good graphics so even with the lowest AA things still look a million times better on PC!

Batman origin's won't even use SLI properly its defaulted to use the 2nd card as a physX card and I can't figure out how to change that :/ still if I didn't have an FPS counter on the screen I wouldn't know it dipped below 60 at times. thats with everything max + TXAA enhanced.
