There Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 GRAPHICS CARDS! Don't think I was gonna say console. So... opinions so far? I think that AMD is going to dominate value, but NVIDIA is going to dominate performance. But with the huge drop in the 780's price today, I'm not sure. What do you guys think?

Vegan T-Rex Posted October 30, 2013 Share Posted October 30, 2013 290X is looking good for the price point. Ridiculously good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted October 30, 2013 Author Share Posted October 30, 2013 290X is looking good for the price point. Ridiculously good. Hmm? Any believable rumors about price so far? I know it places somewhere between 780 and Titan in performance, so anything below $550 would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Why 770? 780 is pretty affordable now. Because the 770 is still almost 200$ cheaper. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
There Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 Because the 770 is still almost 200$ cheaper. 770 - about $400 780 - about $550 Worth it imo, but I guess it depends. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AwesomeMcCoolName Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 770 - about $400 780 - about $550 Worth it imo, but I guess it depends. Considering i can play bf3 at 40-50 fps on a piece of shit gt435m, i can't really see the need. Benchmarks: 770: 6300 780: 7900 435: 650 I know benchmarks don't mean a lot, but as a comparison it says quite a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christley </3 Peelz Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 even though amd has some nice competetors out right now im gonna stay on nvidia. why? because opengl is shit compared to cuda when it comes to encoding videos. IF im gonna buy a new card (which i highly doubt since i can run everything without a bottleneck right now) it would be around christmas when the prices go even lower. then it would be a 760 or 780 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Christley </3 Peelz Posted October 31, 2013 Share Posted October 31, 2013 Get 780 Its basically a titan at half the cost. i know. but its all about how much money i have. if i feel like the pricejump for 780 is too large for the benefits it gives. ill do 760 which is 670 or 680 core and very similar to it. im never considering 770 since i feel that its a pricy card with barely any improvements over 760 and its close enough in price for a 780 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There Posted October 31, 2013 Author Share Posted October 31, 2013 sli 760 at the cost of a 780 isnt a bad idea No, it definitely is. I believe SLI 760 is actually less CUDA cores than a 780, it has a smaller memory bandwidth (it's not multiplied by 2, both cards need to store they same stuff so their memory busses do about the same thing. You don't get 100% scaling with two cards, so you're not getting some of the performance you paid for, and last SLI is buggy and will not work well on some games. A single GPU will almost always outperform a similarly priced configuration of two cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sli 760 on benchmarks can outperform a titan and a single 780 But its better to have one card then sli 2 cards for power and heat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
