Worth upgrading from 680 to 780ti??

[Black Dog]

Is it worth it?? Currently playing @ 1080p with a Sandybridge 2600k stock. Would it be worth the upgrade for the performance gain??

Not sure if the cpu would bottle neck the TI at all. Would it be worth upgrading the CPU to an Ivy or Haswell as well??

Thx.

I don't think there would an issue with a bottleneck at all, though I'd rather drop in another 680 for sli instead of paying through the nose for a 780ti. If you are going to go for a new card, then I'd settle on the standard 780. Overclock it for 'ti' performance.

I've had both and it's a big improvement, well worth it in my opinion.
The CPU should be fine.

Okay thanks.

I'll take your comments on board and try to decide.

Black Dog I upgraded from a 680 to a 780Ti with a 2600k and the differance is day and night. No bottle necks at all.

I just un-parked my cores for BF fail 4

If you can afford it get the Ti if not go for the 780 & overclock it

Even with a 680, the CPU should be OC'd to remove any potential bottlenecks in certain games.

A 780Ti is about 2x670's/680's, it looses/draws/wins some benches so again OC that CPU.

I went from a 680 4GB to 780Ti but this CPU will not clock as bad batch but the 680 was in my last build and it was a 2700k @ 5GHZ.

I would aim for at least 4.4GHZ ideally 4.6GHZ which is easy and with lowish volts if you have a decent cooler.

Okay thanks for the info. I will do some tinkering this weekend and see what I get up to.
