msi n770 vs msi n970, worth a upgrade?

Hi,

I was wondering if it is a worth to upgrade my GPU. I'm currently using a MSI N770 (GTX770). I have a single monitor. And what about the performance?

It's probably not worth the money, but personally I'd go for it anyway if I could afford it. Full DX12 features and much lower TDP.

Edit:

So I vote no unless you have money to spare.

Hello.

I think people with GTX680/770 are just in the edge of the clear decision.

If you can sell the GTX770 for $200 then for $130, the GTX970 worth the upgrade.

If not then it depends on you if the 33% performance increase is worth the money.

Personally I would upgrade only if I could sell the GTX770 or only if the 2GB VRAM would not be enough for the games I play.

Not really, if you had something lower like GTX760 then I'd say go for it, you just don't jump from tier 5 to tier 6 for example, you jump at least two tiers.

It's more worth to upgrade to 980 or just wait for AMD new line of GPUs.

Yeah.

No, as it's only about 13% faster based on Nvidia's own chart.

In 3D Mark Vantage, a 6 year old benchmark. In 3DMark Fire Strike it's almost 40% faster.

Tell them.

Tell them what?

@Truth_Hurts_U: 3DMark Vantage is a nice DX10 synthetic benchmark but its not real world performance.

What I linked is a summary of 17 games. Its far more trust worthy than a synthetic benchmark. And in this GTX970 is 33% faster than GTX770.

Also that's the main reason I am always trying to post TechpowerUp results when someone asks for GPU performance.
