A mid to low level graphics card, the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is found in budget machines nowadays, struggling to meet AAA system requirements.

All games with system requirements of DirectX 11 or lower are met by this card.

We take a look at game performance achieved on this graphics card when running 2021 popular games. This short GeForce GTX 780 Ti game hardware review looks at the graphics card frame rate performance on Ultra graphics settings at 1080p, 1440p and 4K screen resolutions. This graphics hardware can run 439 of the 1000 most demanding PC games played today.

First we looked at 1080p resolution for the GeForce GTX 780 Ti performance to explore what sort of benchmarks it would achieve on the popular title Battlefield 2042 and predict it will deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 62 FPS, Medium: 49 FPS, High: 33 FPS and Ultra: 24 FPS. We proceeded to look at Forza Horizon 5 to see how that compared and predict that it will return a reasonable 51 FPS at Ultra 1080p.

As the PC gaming masses explore larger screen resolutions we decided to run some game checks at 1440p across a few popular games. We predict the GeForce GTX 780 Ti will run the upcoming game Battlefield 2042 to a weak performance level. Predictions across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 47 FPS, Medium: 37 FPS, High: 25 FPS and Ultra: 18 FPS. Another game researched was Forza Horizon 5 with predictions of L: 102FPS, M: 80FPS, H: 54FPS, U: 39FPS. And then we checked graphics card performance on Days Gone, which returned L: 92FPS, M: 72FPS, H: 49FPS, U: 35FPS at 1440p. 1440p GeForce GTX 780 Ti PC gaming is certainly a viable option for these higher gaming resolutions. Remember that if you suffer some 1440p FPS drops the you can usually tweak modern game graphics settings until you get a near High graphics setting experience with this Graphics card.
