saifrehman23Should i step up to a 980 classified?....Would it be worth it considering that the 980 ti might launch soon? Remember i only have 20 days to decide.

I also have 2 780 ti's and would never consider upgrading to the 980 my cards are too new. But if you don't mind spending more money go for it. The 980 classy is so far the best performing single gpu . Maybe closer to Christmas time we'll get a 980 ti..

I've been testing a 980 SC:ACX2 with TitanBlack SC's. I see no reason to dump a 780ti for 980 unless you need the vram for editing, coding, UHD, etc.

I am moving to four 980's, but this will be two new rigs. I already have a rig with three 780 Ti's which I would not change at this point in time.

Pick up a second 780 Ti for dirt cheap!

For only 30 $ more money the benefits would be way better power consumption more vram over the 780 ti, And the 980 classy does bench well, you could go over to hwbot and take a look at some scores see for your self.

I think that's to little performance difference for upgrade.
That's my thinking. GTX780Ti is somehow closer to my heart, maybe because it's premium chip same as in Titan, never mind on 5-10% difference. GTX980 is newer card is somehow logic to be at least 5% better to avoid weaker card than previous.
And that's difference only if you compare Classified model.
GTX980 could be nice upgrade for GTX780, Titan, GTX770 and previous cards.

I feel you on that one, im running mine on 1241Mhz boost on air. It's pretty damn fast. What i am worried about is the new driver features that the maxwell got. Even though we already got DSR, what about the other ones? The lighting feature and the MFAA? Will they come in the future? The 780 ti is clearly a better card but with updates it could be even better. The 980 is just heavily optimized. I really don't know where to go. I might just keep this classified puppy since i can only step up to a SC ACX 2.0 version of the 980. 
 
PS: I REALLY WANT A BACKPLATE BUT IT LOOKS LIKE THE EARTH SWALLOWED THEM ALL!

If you are thinking of upgrading you have to take these aspects into consideration. The 780 Ti Classifieds have Keplar GPU Architecture which performs pretty good versus the 980 and is up there in Benchmarks. With the new 340 driver that allows DSR to be used in all graphic card models from 580-900 will probably give you some better textures in terms in some games. Now lots of gamers have reported that the new driver cases consitant tearing on the screen and to include your FPS will probably drop as well. That being said the Maxwell architecture is sophisticated at best because you have a 256 bit card that out performs the 384 bit gtx 780 with less power consumption. It also uses two 6 pin connectors versus the 780TI which is 8 and 6 pin (this is just so you know). Also you have features such as MFAA on the 900 series cards which delivers a 30% performance boost while maintaining smooth, high-quality edges by alternativing sample calculations across each frame and each pixel. While TXAA Support for new temporal anti-aliasing technique that delivers the ultimate combination of image quality and performance. FXAA is Shader-based anti-aliasing technology available from the NVIDIA Control Panel that enables ultra-fast anti-aliasing in hundreds of PC games. ACX 1.0 versus 2.0 is obvious that the second version brings better cooling. Inconclusion your gtx 780 video card is still a beastly card with awesome features, and while they are nearly neck in neck in performance with the 980s other than the features. Just consider the availability of the 900 series video cards because they sell quick which is my problem in purchasing them.

Should you jump? No.

Thank you!

In USA conditions I would try every series, but I must limited self on little longer before upgrade.
I must miss something first chip from architecture or second premium. Because I promise self I will always go on Classified cards and premium chip better if I miss GTX980 than something what will completely beat any R9-390X or Radeon answer and bring us 6-8 or even more memory.
I will prepare how much cost GTX980 and when I sell GTX780Ti I will exactly cover price of that premium card.
We can't judge about GTX780Ti Classified vs GTX980 so simple. Many things are important there. GTX980 SC model is stronger, reference model is not stronger, benchmarks show that, in games I don't know but I doubt even if better optimization for newer games. Have on advantage because GTX980 is reference clock and with 100MHz only is faster than GTX780Ti Classified.
But GTX980 is nice chance for people who didn't upgrade from GTX780 to GTX780Ti. For me would be early 3 models similar.
GTX780 reference on GTX980 Classified will bring much easier and smoother gaming and highest settings. NVIDIA expect from us to look on GTX980 as GTX770 successor and they make incredible progress.
Everybody forgot on that and compare 980 with Titan Black power and again is stronger. 
 

Thank you for your responses, i have come to a conclusion. I am keeping my 780 Ti. I think i got a good chip. I am sitting at 1241mhz boost and 3888mhz memory. STABLE. It would blow the 980 out of the water :P Now, all i need is to find a (excuse my rude language) ****en extra rare backplate. Anyone got any plugs?
