Debating if I should do Nvidia Step-up from a 780 Classy HC to a ref 780 ti. I pay no difference other than the shipping which is $10 and pay to ship the 780 classy back to them.
I hear that at 3 GB we're already Vram capped in BF4 in surround (5760x1080) which ticks me off. I purposely bought this GPU to be ready for BF4 in surround and I see why my FPS was all over the place because I was Vram capped!
Thing is I am hearing there might be a GTX 780 Ti 6GB GPU but that's up to the 3rd party companies if they choose too but I'd be out of the step-up window.
So I am debating if I get rid of my 1400+ OCer with 7000 OC ram that gives me a 18c Delta in my loop and gets my CPU all toasty for a reference which would be about even in performance at stock (assuming) with my OC'd Classy I am guessing. Even though I don't do anything about the issues with the Vram cap I guess I can't have AA than in surround.
I said no last night that I wouldn't do it because I would eventually spend for a water block for it to be added to the loop. Than this morning I am getting a different vibe going around reading the forums with different reviews.
A stock 780 ti is about 5-10 FPS faster than a highly OC'd 780 classified my guess is and saw some charts last night. I think if you took the stock 780 ti and OC'd it a bit you could get another say 5 FPS avg. That's 15 FPS added to my already hot steamy classy. Not to mention the 500+ more cuda cores it has. GK110 fully unlocked?
Anyways, I'd like to start a debate about this. I have till Wednesday next week to make my step-up decision. A lot of premium buyers are ticked at how the step-up works since it only really benefits those in the lower/medium market. Classified to Classified isn't allowed. Oh btw they will be coming out with a 780 Ti Classified Hydro Copper which is looking to be around the $800 mark which I paid for in august but I am not qualified for that. They only do reference cards. Smh......
I also figured if I do go with the 780 Ti wouldn't I hold better value before Maxwell with that than my 780 Classy Hydro Copper since they are both the same price?
Let the debates begin.
