Which gpu ?

I'm not sure what to do as I can sell my current gpu evga gtx 780 sc acx and buy lightning from overclockers. I will only have to put 20 pounds towards lightning when I sell my gpu and not quiet sure if it's worth a hassle.
I do find it to do what I want. The only gaqme that it struggles is gta 5 with everything max out except anti aliasing. I get fps drops dont know why. It mainly happens when I go to rural area where there is a lot of grass.

Hi, GTA 5 is a heavy game for a 780. For this you probably need to go down with Texture quality a step and maybe shadows. Have you already tried GeForce Experience for this? There is the feature to scan the system and NVIDIA will then set the optimum Game settings for your machine. Even if it is just to see what they set... then you can still finetune it for your needs. Have you overclocked your system?

Well, I am probably the wrong address for an opinion about a MSI card 
With the EVGA Precision Tool you can review the usage of the Vram. You can open this in the backround and run your game and see if the Vram was maxed out. If yes this is a bottleneck and a card with more Vram would improve performance but usually at a 1080p this barely happens. If only a little bit more Vram would be needed a slight overclock could also already help to fix it. With the EVGA Precision Tool overclocking is pretty simple. When you open it there are slider for GPU and RAM clock. You can just move them a bit and see if the card can run it. You could then also save that profile normal or as windows start up profile if you want to run it permanently then you do not need to fittle arround with every system start. Just let me know if there are question about this.
