780ti or 970

[Krysaenaar]

I game at 1200p and would be happy with 60 fps.

 

I sold my 680 and have a choice between the 780ti for £250 or a 970 for £288

 

In GTA5 will the extra 500mb of Vram be needed for my resolution?

 

Cheers guys

I think the 780Ti smokes the 970, that too with bettter price.

 

So many people are having trouble playing with 970

 

At Very high settings, VRAM needed is 3.6GB. This will get you 60 fps

Well I can't speak for the 970 but I have a single 780Ti SC ACX running a 1920x1080p display and it's giving me on average 100 FPS in the countryside, 80 in the city. I've limited the FPS to 60 by using a HDMI cable and the game looks fantastic and buttery smooth. Most settings on very high/ultra. MSAA x4, FXAA on, high resolution shadows, long shadows, etc. I'm currently using 2.5GB out of the 3GB VRAM the card has. So VRAM might be necessary for any future graphic mods you wish to use.

 

The 780Ti won't run every setting on ultra it still looks absolutely gorgeous.

So you would be happy lowering settings to stay under the 3gb VRAM that the 780ti has as opposed to the 3.5gb VRAM with the 970?

I am sorry i assumed 780Ti has 4GB VRAM.

 

I am not sure, i have an R9 290. In the settings it says, 2.5GB VRAM used, but in actual it uses 3.5GB as per MSI Afterburner

Cheers Eddie and apologies for the extra quotes. Not sure how it happened

Excellent detailed reply Eddie. Thank you!

I own a GTX970 Twinfrozr OC, and I'm getting great frames. Solidly outperforming my buddy's 780ti by 20-30 fps

[Krysaenaar]

Cheers ninjaontour.

 

I guess your extra 500mb of good VRAM helps

[Shayd80]

no issue with my gtx 970 but i also see a lot of people complaining about low fps with the same gpu so i don't know, maybe you should wait a benchmark or something to be sure

Thank you Shark.

 

I have never trolled on a forum and never will.

 

I genuinely am stuck between what to purchase and the extra VRAM has to help on very high surely
