what should i get, this or the gtx 970 4gb ? iwanna run battlefiled ultra no problems. i have a gtx 760 SC 2gb but it chops up sometimes

The 970 runs faster in general and has more VRAM. The 970 will definitely run any Battlefield game maxed out at 60+ fps, at least on 1080p. It is also cheaper. No contest.

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

I like it a lot, good price and good performance. I run a three monitor setup and can play pretty much every game without issue however running the witcher 2 on ultra (Which I believe is still the most graphically taxing game out there) is the only time i find there being a choppiness.

Gtx 970 easily. I own 2 780's, but you should almost always go for the newer tech, especially considering the 970 is slightly faster and it has 1GB extra vram.

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.

The answer depends on rest of your CPU rig and monitor resolution. Checkout reviews of BF3 on u'tube for this Card. More memory does not mean your game is going to use it. As far as I know, accessing more than 3GB of graphics memory requires the application to be 64 bit in nature. So check the binaries of BF3 if it is 32 or 64 bit.

Yeah I bought this bad boy 2 years ago exactly to the day, loving it so far! But the graphics card on this is pretty weak, even with games like Minecraft (Vanilla, no mods or texture packs) I'm lucky to get 50 FPS even with fast setting (Low graphics settings in the game options). And one of the fans pooped out the other day lol, but that happens with all PC's after a year or so. Overall great PC, it's not hard to rip the 550TI out and slap in the 770 that M. Martin suggested. Anyhoo my 2 cents! :)

Hi, Ryan. I can't speak to your specific hardware configuration, but I can give you mine for a somewhat-apples-to-somewhat-apples comparison. I am running this same GTX 650 Ti 2GB in a machine with: i7 950 overclocked to 3.07GHz, 16GB RAM, 1x 64GB SSD, 2x 1TB 7200RPM HDD, 1x 750GB 7200RPM HDD. This machine has a 600W OCZ PSU, and I've had no issues with lack of power. YMMV, of course. This is a great little consumer-level card, probably the best I've owned so far. It has taken everything I've thrown at it (all games on "high" settings) with ease.

I can run 3 games on ultra at the same time and I mean BF4 and the craziest games with no problem at all. upgrading would be a good idea but it all has to be in your budget

You can definitely run BF3 on ultra, I have the same card and I get 60 fps, never a drop, smooth as butter...buy it.

Don't know about the specific models you mentioned, but when I first got this game I was using a AMD radeon 6870, and the game ran terrible. Cut scenes video and audio were way out of sync. frame-rate was terrible. Since then I purchased a Nvidia GTX 970, and It runs great.

Our son has it but he's currently playing the beta of battlefield 4. Says it looks great and runs well. It rocks so far.Hope this is some help.

I had a 670 4g and sold it too my little brother so I upgraded to the 780 6g. I have been able to run everything on ultra so far with 60+ fps. Dead space 2 is like 450fps for some reason. So I enjoy it. Watch dogs and titanfall etc all run at ultra no lags or anything.

Why wait when you can buy now? Cmon man get with the program. The card runs anything I want faster than a black man running from police. Never dropped below 60 FPS on any games so far, Path of Exile, League of Legends, Minecraft, Bloons TD5, World of Warcraft, Tomb Raider, Hello Kitty Wonderland the third, Farcry 3, GTA Five, all runs fine. I would definitely pick up this card.Much love,Touchette

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have??Woody

I have no lag on mine. If it isn't ultra then its right below it. Basically I haven't had any lag on anything I've played so far. Its a great card and runs cool.

BEAUTIFULLY. I can run the game on ultra settings and the performance is still absolutely flawless :)

I am using a P7P55D-E PRO motherboard which I believe is only PCI 2 and it works like a champ. I play BF4 at 1080p on Ultra with no issues.

Hello, same here I had 2 8500GTs and Crysis Warhead did not run too well, on SLI it just would not redraw properly, Now I'm using 1 PNY 9600GT and it runs at my monitors 22" nature resolution and is crystal clear, and no hiccups, not sure if I'm ready to go SLI again, maybe later on once they get the work the bugs out. Hope this helps. I have tested it with the following games and got the same results S.T.A.L.K.E.R. Crysis Crysis Warhead Dirt Titan Quest Spore and a few others

I really like my Titan Black card! I run everything maxed out and I don't even get slight frame delay. My Card is a Beast! I couldn't tell you anything about the 980. I am currently playing the new Wolfenstein The New Order. Everything is Maxed out and Video Sync is turned on. Glass smooth Graphics and the card runs cool.

This thing didn't work after 2 hours of play day of installation. Having read other disparaging reviews, and because I'm getting a bit of a runaround on trying to RMA it, I'd say avoid it. Went instead with a GTX 770 and no complaints.
