This worth upgrading from a GTX 670?

This worth upgrading from a GTX 670?

if you got the money to burn its performance is about on par with a Titan. its 10% slower than a Titan.

I got a 2 year warranty on my GTX 670 through Microcenter, so I can tell them that shyt is acting up and get a $390 credit towards the purchase of this one. I'm just wondering if I should move on it or wait till the 800 series. I could always take out a warranty on the 780 and upgrade to the 800 series later on as well.

i'd say wait this in an incremental jump not a generational jump. next year the cards will be a whole new generation.

NVIDIA is primarily pitching the GeForce GTX 780 as the next step in their high-end x80 line of video cards, a role it fits into well. At the same time however I can’t help but to keep going back to GTX Titan comparisons due to the fact that the GTX 780 is by every metric a cut-down GTX Titan card. Whether this is a good thing or not is open to debate, but with NVIDIA’s emergence into the prosumer market with GTX Titan and the fact that there’s now a single-GPU video card above the traditionally top-tier x80 card, this complicates things as compared to past x80 card launches.

Anyhow, we’ll start with the obvious: the GeForce GTX 780 is a filler card whose most prominent role will be filling the game between sub-$500 cards and this odd prosumer/luxury/ultra-enthusiast market that has taken root above $500. If there’s to be a $1000 single-GPU card in NVIDIA’s product stack then it’s simply good business to have something between that and the sub-$500 market, and that something is the GTX 780.

For the small number of customers that can afford a card in this price segment, the GTX 780 is an extremely strong contender. In fact it’s really the only contender – at least as far as single-GPU cards go – as AMD won’t directly be competing with GK110. The end result is that with the GTX 780 delivering an average of 90% of Titan’s gaming performance for 65% of the price, this is by all rights the Titan Mini, the cheaper video card Titan customers have been asking for. From that perspective the GTX 780 is nothing short of an amazing deal for the level of performance offered, especially since it maintains the high build quality and impressive acoustics that helped to define Titan.

Returned my Titan's this morning and copped two 780 SC's. The extra 10 fps and 3 GB of ram weren't worth the $700-800 I saved.

The nerve of Nvidia,

i'm probably gonna get one of these 780 cards and dump my 670. seems like i can get close to $300 for a 670 on eBay meaning this 780 will cost me $350 out of pocket when all is said and done.
