And thanks to us miners, AMD card prices are reaching comical levels.

That is absolutely insane.
Anybody want to buy a 7970 for 500? Lol

You should sell it and buy my 780!

I'll up my offer to $250 and a $50 McDonalds gift card.

That's what I would like to do. Maybe we could work out a swap with cash going your way?
Posted on 2/9/14 at 1:28 pm to puffulufogous
I would possibly be interested in doing that.

Question: how much better is the GTX 780 vs the 770? Is it worth the extra $200?

What resolution are you playing on? I went with the 780 over the 770 because I needed to get the highest frames, and now I'm at 1440p, which the 780 is perfect for
Posted on 2/9/14 at 1:57 pm to bluebarracuda
I'll be perfectly happy with 1080p.
Posted on 2/9/14 at 2:01 pm to ZacAttack
I'm perfectly happy with 1080 as long as prices for a 1440 monitor stay where they are
Posted on 2/9/14 at 3:12 pm to ZacAttack
You can get 780s for 419 at EVGA's B stock.
Your getting 800 more cores and higher bandwidth they are easily worth the price.
You say that now....
How can you even know what a 1440 is like?

It makes the envoriment feel alive and not just a painting.
My favorite part is shooting up things, PhysX makes let's you make a mess.

Thanks for the info. I've been so long without a decent gaming PC, playing in 1440 might make me poop myself. Didn't know if it would really be worth it, but I'll look into those $419 780's,. Just did my taxes so hopefully I'll be ordering all my parts by the end of the week.

Taxes returns are taking longer to receive this year.
Did mean around January 28 and don't expect my return until February 18th. However, this year I did rack up on tax credits, those returns do take longer.

I'm not getting much this year but i am getting a shite ton of overtime right now so I can upgrade if i see a deal worth it. Without any new games coming out I don't have anything to push my gpu enough though

Ignorance is bliss! I am "perfectly happy" with 1440p right now. Because I haven't seen 4k gaming in person yet.

I got to deduct most of the $7k+ I spent on daycare last year, plus the child tax credit, and dependent exemption.
Going to be an even bigger refund next year with two kids. Never changed my filing status/exemptions for my paychecks. I know you shouldn't let the government hold your money, but I enjoy the massive refunds. I used to spend them on nice things.

Exactly, never talk in absolutes, especially if you have never experienced the other thing.
