Which should one should I choose?

[sub-80]

Hello;

I bought two Gigabyte GTX 780 Ghz ed. but one went haywire and was sent to RMA. It was concluded that it is not repairable and it is out of stock. A replacement can't be given at the moment so Gigabyte GTX 970 Gaming is proposed as a replacement.

Therefore what do you believe is a better choice:

1. Get the 780 back and run at sLI
2. Get the 970 place it in the current gaming rig and 780 in the portable gaming/htpc/workstation. Until 1000s series comes out and upgrade to that.
3. Other.

take the 970 and sell it. wait until 10x comes out and game on the portable for now.

Sell 780 and keep the 970 and use it in htpc build when you get the new 10x0.

If the 780 went "haywire" and is not repairable, why take it back and try to run it in SLI with the working one?

#2 sounds like the sensible choice.

I mean wait for a new 780 to be available and receive it as a replacement.

Anyway I agreed for the 970

970 as stop-gap.

Get the 970. Sell it. Use the 780 alone until the next gen Nvidia / AMD cards come out, then sell it as well. Use the funds to buy a brand spankin new 16nm card. I wouldn't even open the 970.

Sell everything. Hopefully you have onboard graphics, suffer with that for a while and then get a 1070/1080.
