GTX980 is made on the same node (28nm) as the GTX780 is produced. Performance is on par or a bit above of a GTX 780Ti/Titan Black, but there isn't a significant performance increase. Sometime in 2015 we will see products on the 20nm, which will kick off a real performance gain over the current available graphics solutions. As the performance improvement we've seen from GF110 to GK110.
I would stick to the GTX 780 and wait for more information about graphics solutions released in 2015 by Nvidia (GM200) and AMD (R9 300 series). 😉

Hi all, I'm back again with a question. Someone yell at me if this question has already been asked, i quickly searched through the forms. I'm sure this is going to be a big question, should I upgrade from a GTX 780 to a GTX 980? I have looked at most of the reviews and comparisons between the two cards, it seems the 980 is about 13% - 15% better than the 780 TI, and about 20% -25% better then the 780. I am only running at 1080 P. The last mistake I made was, I held onto my old GTX 570s for too long and they weren't worth much on eBay,. My question is do I sell my 780 now? Or does anyone have any other options? SLI?

Hey Alton, i agree with Arne and Randy,yes gtx 970 sli for $660 usd, price is low enough.
Actually since you have a 780 the rule of thumb for electronics is upgrade every other generation(Pascal in 2016)
Spend your money wisely
There are already rumours that GTX 980 Ti or GTX Titan
Quote:
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 980 and 970 have barely arrived and the dust hasn’t even settled yet. That doesn’t hold anyone back though and we’re getting new leaks on the next generation of cards, or rather just the GPU so far.
A Czech IT publication got their hands on images and information on the new GM200 chips. If the normal schedule holds up, we can expect cards with this GPU in about 2 months time. These are rumours and unconfirmed information, but the site has been accurate in their predictions and leaks about the GTX 980 and 970, as well as many other products.
The future graphics card equipped with the Gm204 GM200 chip might be named GTX 980 Ti, or it could be a possible new GTX Titan. The GM200 has a die size of 551 mm² and is still built on the 28 nm technology. It is said to have 20-22 SMM’s and 2560-2816 CUDA cores. The memory bus runs on a 384-bit interface and the amount should be increased to 6 GB.
Allegedly the new GPU can perform 50% higher than the current GTX Titan Black and double that of the 780 Ti. All of this while consuming less power. The two mentioned cards use about 250 watts each, where the new cards are speculated to use just 200 watts, or possibly even less. That isn’t much for that kind of power.
According to the rumours, the core is done and test samples have been sent to customers. The source also revealed a dual-core flagship GTX 990 using GM204 cores, something that I’m sure will get consumers excited in many. The possible launch time is mentioned as December, which would fit well into the normal schedule from tape-out to finished product. Merry Gaming Christmas indeed. Or could this indeed be scheduled for CES 2015 in January?
