My 480 reached *96*. Was the prime reason I went and upgraded to a 680. |

Heat and the fact it sounds like a Jet Engine will be my main reasons. Still, I got 10k on my benchmark so Im still happy with how it performs. |

 Seriously though, you guys are making it really hard to resist throwing several grand on a new PC altogether. |

yeah, I kinda want to buy a 780, but if they go back to whatever the hell they did in Phase 3 to make shit run better it won't be worth it (and I doubt it's the number of people on screen as that doesn't seem to affect my FPS much at all) |

I would skip the 700s honestly. 800s should be pretty amazing since they'll be able to develop the Titan engine further for them. |

Well I turned off the fps limiter on the 780 and it ran at 120 fps quite steady for about 10min but the fans and everything started getting high so I put the limiter back to 60 fps and quickly it all went back to normal, have not seen any drop under 60 fps even in cities etc so I would say the 700s are good, but yea if the 800s are due soon wait for them

I agree. Im holding out for the 800 series, but I wont be getting them right away. I want to get the same setup I have now (2x470s), but in the 800 series (2x870s). I don't see me upgrading in the next year at least. I would much rather spend the money on three monitors first. |
