Hey guys! I've not upgraded my PC for a while and I'm planning to upgrade from my 7970 to either a 780ti or a 780. I want to go with Nvidia as I will be getting a Shield later down the line. I have a maximum of £500 to spend but I was wondering if the 780ti is worth the extra £100+ over the 780 from a 7970?
Cheers
 
What resolution do you game at?

The 7970 is still a very capable card for gaming. Buy a second 7970 and CF it if you need some extra power, otherwise hold off a few weeks until the new Nvidia cards are out :)
 
Only at 1080p. The 7970 just gets so hot and so loud. I'm not too fussed about the new Nvidia cards, I want to move to Nvidia to use the Shield :D

I'd be happy to just get a 770 if it has the same/better performance than I am getting now.
 
The 780 wont be that much of a upgrade in all honesty but you're using the nvidia shield then just go for a msi one or something

You'll struggle to buy a 780 and a shield for under £500, i thought you had £500 to spend on the GPU alone.

Or do you have £500 for the GPU?

If so, i would go for this card http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-209-MS&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341

Well, I have £500 for both, but the Shield isn't out for a couple weeks so I'll have time to save some more money back. Also, I may be getting the handheld version, I'm still undecided on that part.
But that card seems perfect, I'll be ordering that on Thursday (Payday xD)

It'd be a great choice, gibbo was saying that £320 reference 780s might be coming soon though
