How does this compare against the EVGA GTX 980?

The Titan might be better at general computing, but for gaming the 980 is faster and more efficient.

Not sure never got to use the Titan but 980 is very good I've been enjoying 980

If you're a gamer go with the 980. If you do scientific double precision computations go with the Titan.

The base evga and Asus cards are identical, although the superclocked/ signature editions are a few percent faster and often still cheaper than the Asus one on here.

From what I know (probably not the end all be all answer) this card is comparable to the gtx 760, though the 760 beats this card it is similar, and a LOT cheaper...its up to you...

The card is compatible with your motherboard but you will need to upgrade your power supply to support it. I would suggest getting something a little above the minimum required amount. Maybe a 500W psu would work well for you with the 9800gt.

Definitely get the 970 if you can. Specs blow Gtx 780 out of the water and also beat the 780ti

There is one reviewer who addresses the differences in the 970 and 980, which may be of interest here.http://www.amazon.com/review/R29OHBI20GBFO/ref=cm_cr_dp_title?ie=UTF8&ASIN;=B00F0R6UPW&channel;=detail-glance&nodeID;=1055398&store;=home-garden

I'd go with the MSI. EVGA is typically expensive for what you get and they are constantly releasing (and subsequently discontinuing) cards with slight variations. It's more marketing that substance. This MSI runs under a load 24/7 (BOINC apps) and has never even reached 50% fan speed with Afterburner.

This. But the 980 is cheeaper. I guess you here have performance per dollar.

I am not sure why you would by this instead GTX 770 for just $20 more. If I had that option, I would have done that too. I had a EVGA GTX 670 in my machine but it burnt up due to my lack of cleaning the dust from the card. Make sure you vacuum and than blow air through your machine at least once a month. I have pets so I have to do it twice a month.

I use the Asus R290X DirectCU II card. Yes it was $600 but with Mantel enabled it runs BF4 on Ultra at 1440p with no problems at all online with 64 player servers. Not to mention the same brand card that Asus makes for the GTX 780Ti is about $100 or so more. I'm very happy with the graphics card though, it runs very cool with the Asus DirectCU and has no throttling at all. Its quiet as heck in the Uber mode compared to the stock 290/290X cooled cards. Those cards even throttle in Uber mode and are so loud.

Yes, however for the price I would buy a GTX 980 instead. Same performance, less power and is from the current generation.

Yes it is better, the one from Nvidia that is similar and quite a bit superior in some points is the 750 gtx.

The other difference would be that it comes with a factory overclock. I can't remember exactly what the difference is, but this model, because of the stock overclock and the ability to overclock due to the upgraded cooler, performs closer to the GTX Titan than it does to the stock 780. I have mine clocked at 1200 MHz, which is something like 350 MHz faster than the stock 780. IMO, it's worth the price difference. Plus, I've had EVGA cards in the past, and they have all performed really well.

Hey Ace, this is not a "huge" upgrade. I bumped up from a 460 to this and I really enjoy it, but I am still going to do the EVGA step up program and step up to either a 770 or 780.

Easily. If you plan on overclocking it should be fine but if you also plan on adding another 980 you may need a tad more power for stability.

Unfortunately I don't have any experience with the GTX 780SC, so I can't give an informed opinion on the matter. They are both high-end cards, so if money is a factor I would go with the less expensive card. My GTX 680 Classified is still an awesome card and I have two friends that run them as well. There is nothing that this card won't run at the highest settings.

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.
