• Upgrading to a GTX 970 and have a few questions.
    4 replies, posted
So I'm looking to upgrade my PC and I've recently been looking at the GTX 970, it beats out the GTX 780ti (according to hwcompare) by quite a bit and I'm wondering why it's nearly half the price? Is there some downside to it I've never seen before? Also, if I were to get the GTX 970 would it fit in my case? I've got [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16811139008"]this case[/URL] and [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16813157296"]this motherboard[/URL]. also wondering, would there be a bottleneck? I've got 8gb of ram and [URL="http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16819116781"]this cpu[/URL]. Thank you for your help, I just don't want to spend all this dosh and have it not work :v:
there's no bottleneck and it'll fit in your case 780ti was a flagship gpu which is why it's still kinda pricey, 970 isn't flagship
I think you might be able to delay the upgrade, unless you plan on upgrading resolution. The 770 and the 780 are still doing pretty well

[QUOTE=coco911231;46496849]Oh no I don't have a 780ti, sorry for the misconception, I've got a 560ti[/QUOTE] My bad. If that's the case, do not bother with the 700 series , shoot straight for the 900 series.
