Another thread by me, but I have £150-£200 free and I need to decide on what to do with it with my PC.

I ran DA:I at everything max 1080p and I get about 40fps, my GPU is the bottleneck, with it maxed to 100% usage the entire time, my CPU is about 70-85% over all 4 cores.

Anyway, I have a Gigabyte 780 GTX Windforce OC Rev 2.0 card... If I sold it (assuming around £300 as I got all the gubbins), what would be the best move upgrade wise?
 
i dont think its worth upgrading from a 780 right now
well not unless you go 2 cards
just my opinion
 
GTX 970 would offer a small performance increase but not a massive one, so your only real worthwhile upgrade is a GTX 980... or wait for the next big hitter from AMD or the 980ti version....

Seems pointless upgrading otherwise
 
Why not wait until the new flagship cards come out? They should give a worthwhile boost. The rumor is they could be released between April-June.
 
The money is for my birthday from my old dear. So needs to be spent at the end of the month.

I might hold off.
