I was just gaming on my ASUS CUDAII GTX 780 ti about an hour ago! It STILL runs pretty well for its age! I wish that they were still updating the drivers for it but it plays just about every game that I like so far anyway. I do run most games no higher than 1280x800 to 1400x900 though so this helps with frame rates.
the other day I was browsing through my local used PC parts site when I saw a GTX 780 (non Ti) for a very low price. I was pretty tempted to buy it when I remembered that I would probably be better with an HD7950, R9 280 or a GTX 960 for almost the same price or about 10€ more. It's quite sad that GTX 600/700 (Kepler) series cards have aged that poorly due to the slightly weird architecture and the lack of driver optimisations.
You should take a look at AMD equivalent of the time (definitely not because of *FINE WINE technology* and literally every other techtuber doing so). IMO they do hold up better than Kepler could ever hope to.
The RX 290X (4 GB only) was the AMD GPU that came out together with the 780 ti. If you're comparing the RX 480 (June 2016) shouldn't it be against the 1080 ti (May 2016), which was it's contemporary? That's a 2 generation difference right there. Though with the end of diver support, I'm pretty sure the NV card would still fare worse.
@@tech_evolved , In my country the 780 ti is cheaper than the RX 480 by $10-$20. Though, there are a ton of mining cards RX 480 being sold for slightly cheaper. EDIT: Surprisingly, there are 1080 ti's in our market which is priced the same as the RX 480. Lol! I guesss it just depends on the region and country.

As I said in the post before this video I really dislike kelper. I'm pritty sure forza required dx fl 12.0 mabye vkd3d would help but kelper has awful vulken support anyway. Ever since the mineing crash of 2014 the r9 290 (which could be had for $200 cad used in 2014) and its replacements have been my go to recommendations. Heck gcn 1.0 which also has dx fl 11.0 aged better. I would gladly take an hd 7950 over a 780 ti. At the end of the 2018 mining crash i sold all my gcn cards and bought kelper making like a 50% profit. 7950's -> 670,760 and 660ti 3gb Dealing with the issues from kelper was not worth it. Notable drivers breaking doom 2016 and the awful performance with doom eternal. At the time I moved over only doom 2016 ran like crap in vulken but my gripes kept growing as time moved on. Let alone nvidia being like we won't do dx 12 unless fermi supports it. Then they never release proper dx 12 driver for fermi. Pascal solved the async performance regression (software makes async calls synchronous) and turing implemented async.
@@tech_evolved there dropping of driver support came at a very bad time luckily a few members of the community stepped up and keeps making updated drivers for the unsupported gpus. It also helps that since gcn the linux drivers are open source
@@tech_evolved DX12 Feature level on Kepler is only 11_1 which is why it's not compatible. AMD card at the time, as I recall has support for DX12 12_0 which means a lot more modern game supports.
@@whitebeartigtig they actually have dx 11_1 which is not full directx 12, in other words, dx 12 games never really ran on them. GTX 900 series was the first nvidia series to have real dx 12 support.
Bro needs more recognition
This was a very well put together video. Interesting stuff!

This guy makes quality videos eyy!
Used to run a pair of EVGA 780Ti Classifieds in SLI back in the day. Great cards for the time but not doing so hot today sadly.

Great video and an expected result I guess, never had pleasure or misfortune to own one of these but I really love the reference design.
only reason I bought it haha. Its a great paper weight!
Got one in a secondary system still and it's great.
I feel like anything under a GTX 970 is not even worth considering these days and this review cements that
Neat.
I still use the 980 ti every day and honestly it works fine. Gets the job done for 1440p
Cyberpunk runs on my 780ti got 30fps in 720p

I was comparing the 2 because of pricing on the used market. The 1080 ti is a way better card than the rx 480, it would be a slaughter.

i'd like to see u use tha 780Ti as a Windows XP Retro Gaming GPU since there's Windows XP drivers for it
Could make an interesting video!
@@tech_evolved there's alot of Abandonware which can be used for Windows XP Retro Gaming too

Compare this to a 750 or 750ti.
I actually have a video on the gtx 750 ti coming out soon so I'll be sure to add comparisons!

I need to get my hands on some older AMD cards. Like you said, I bet they aged way better

Almost every game that crashed wasnt because of the drivers or nvidia dropping support, but because the card only has dx11 support!
It has Dx12 Support as seen in the 3dmark testing.
GTX 400 series and later have DX12 support.

Still on a 1070 and getting 300+ in arena games 🤡
lmao i am on a geforce gtx 460 1 year older
