NEED Advice For Buying Graphics Card- GTX 780,770 or HD 7970 Vaporx

Nope, they don't. So it is going to get dust here. no RMA or anything. So what do you think about my options?

see this is the main reason why you should not get some tech product from foreign country which does not offer global warranty .. anyway, you can contact Inno3d through telephone, email ( try to get hold of some higher official ) or their FB page about the RMA - most probably it won't workout but there's no harm in trying.

Lol, you are right but I din't think that the card would die just in four months when I bought this. Anyway, whats done is done. I was angry when I said that No nVidia Cards, of course beggars can't be choosers. If I want to play games in Linux then I have to stick with nVidia because their binary driver is far better than AMD in performance.
But now I will buy from India and buy a good brand, then there won't be a problem[RMA] if I fry my card with drivers.
What do you guys think about GTX 770 GTX 780? It's selling online for 46,999/- but I think I can get a better bargain on retail market.

LOLwut ??

GTX 770 is in 32-34k range Products

I guess you were talking about GTX 780..

Sorry, my bad. Yeah I was talking about GTX 780.

 

[Chaitanya]

GTX 780 for 47k??
very niiice ..
get it damn.

for GTX 780 first preference is Asus ( DC II OC ) and then comes Zotac but due to dollar price hike these cards got too much pricey and you my need to shell out 50K+.

So, GtX 780 Is a Good choice over AMD You Saying Top?

But As Cilus suggested me, Its not a VFM and therefore one should stick with AMD.
Moreover, Upcoming games are Based on AMD architecture as far as I heard from a Developer Zone.

 

[Chaitanya]

Yeah more of Major titles are AMD based already

GTX 780 is selling for 47k+TAX(ASUS-Nvidia Reference) and 44k+TAX(ZOTAC Nvidia Reference). AMD HD7970 6GB OC Edition is for 42k.
So all in all, what should I do now, urgent. Prices will hike again on Monday.

GTX 780 is not VFM - granted but when you are going to get the Top notch performance from a gpu the VFM thing becomes obsolete and many games are going to be AMD optimized but this has happened before and will happen in the future but that did not stop GTX 780 ( or the almighty big bro Titan ) from being the one of the most fastest single gpu, right ?

I would say go for it - Asus GTX 780 DCII Top is really a great card you can have in your gaming arsenal.

Hmm, Thats also true.
So, Do you suggest me also to buy GTX780?
NOTE- I do Huge Graphics oriented Applications ....

Which applications? Can you be a bit specific ?

Starting from full Adobe Creative Suit to Adobe Lightroom . Plus HDR Sofwares for Photography Post Productions etc...

Adobe creative suite has CUDA enabled plugins. Normal gaming cards are fine for these kind of works. Even a Gtx 760 is fine for your workload.
You'll find a big performance jump in gaming over your 5850. 780 is kind of overkill for single 1080p monitors. If you can shell out that much, then no problem in going for it.

OK, but Dont you think AMD Out Performs Nvdia a bit in Applications?

Ya, I may have multi monitor Setup idea in future...

My old GTX 680 4GB was too good for Adobe LightRoom, you can see instant result in high quality raw images as soon as you apply any filter or change. So I think we can expect good performance boost with 780.
And just rest assured as soon as I get the card delivered to my doorsteps, I will test the main applications/games and post the result.

That is highly subjective and a misconception. There are lot of applications in which Nvidia outperforms AMD. Current AMD GCN based cards have better general purpose compute ability than Nvidia Kepler cards. But your usage does not fall in compute based applications. AMD is basically better than Nvidia in open-cl based compute apps like ray-tracing ( open-cl only), bitmining and financial analysis. In CUDA, its nvidia only as AMD does not support that API.

There is a lot more to it that is beyond the scope of this discussion. So it isn't like AMD is better than Nvidia in applications. The reverse is also hold true in a lot of scenarios.

 

[Arnab]

Its Bitcoin Mining I think, and that may count a bit to me.
Anyway,I agree with every other point yous said ....So for now both are good at their ends , it just that you need to see which is good VFM ...

And buddy either way you wouldn't be mining bitcoins with just one 7970. That is low spec for mining.

If you want to mine bitcoins, then AMD all the way. Besides, there are specialized FPGA miners which are built for mining only and have very high hash rates.
They will be ideal IMO. But adobe creative suite favors Nvidia as it supports CUDA. So you're going for a 780?

Wow you've already purchased the 780 ? Congrats man.
What about the 680? Won't you RMA it through some contacts?
