Which card

Vakas · 16 Apr 2014 at 01:32

So have sold my 280x now either going to go for a 290x or a 780 so come on guys let's have a poll if you like who likes which card and why

I gave you my input before my little holiday.

You really going to play the 2XX lottery again?

Don't want to just want to see what people think?

The 290 has a bit better performance and more memory than the 780

I'm very happy with one of these http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-166-PC&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1752

290/780 or a 290x/780ti Much of the same buy what card has the features you want for the best price on the day

Is there a big difference between the the 290 and 290x also what about the 780ti over the 780

RetrogamerX · 16 Apr 2014 at 08:06

780Ti all day long.

Vakas · 16 Apr 2014 at 08:18

I haven't used an nvidia card in ages I'm very tempted

There isn't a big difference in performance between any of them.

im in the same boat just built my computer and not sure to go for the gtx780 3gb or wait till the 6gb comes out then price of the 3gb might come down, ive only a 1080p monitor so i think 3gb should be enough vram for gaming untill next year.

Not very helpful, but simply buy the best VFM card, performance v's price... that's what I've done in the past... and got some bargains on cards...

SO just another thing realistically how much faster will a 780ti be than a regular 780?

Looking at this and comparing a few different cards seems to be Nvidia on top so I think I will probably get a 780ti probably a Gigabyte model or something other than Asus still in 2 minds when I see the price difference

Vakas · 16 Apr 2014 at 16:32

this is what I have chosen if I get the TI

What is Gigabyte support like?

Very good in my experience. Normally, the turn around is fast (my rma experience with them was good) :

I appreciate it's your money, but you do realize that you'll be paying through the nose for not much more extra performance? I'd go for a GTX780 over the Ti, but it's your call, man.

I always like other peoples opinions man very appreciated.

So is there not much performance for the extra money that you pay for the Ti? obviously you probably know more than me as I have not touched an Nvidia card in ages and yes I'd be happy saving some money it makes sense so what do you think?
