10 Aug 2021 - Graphics card reviewed

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 2022 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 434 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 saw it deliver weak frames per second across the following graphics settings - Low: 30 FPS, Medium: 24 FPS, High: 16 FPS and Ultra: 12 FPS. We proceeded to look at Forza Horizon 5 to see how that compared and saw that it returned a playable 30 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 discovered the GeForce GTX 780 Ti ran Battlefield 2042 to a weak performance level. Results across the graphics settings looked like this, Low: 23 FPS, Medium: 18 FPS, High: 12 FPS and Ultra: 9 FPS. Another game tested was Forza Horizon 5, L: 59FPS, M: 47FPS, H: 32FPS, U: 23FPS. 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 not going to be able to keep stable frame rates at all times at Ultra 1440p on modern games.

How many years will the GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card play newly released games and how long until you should consider upgrading the GeForce GTX 780 Ti in your PC? This GeForce GTX 780 Ti card has 12 to 18 months of latest AAA game play left in it before upgrading should be considered

Whats a good PC graphics upgrade for the GeForce GTX 780 Ti? There are no graphics cards on the current market that would provide a big enough increase in performance to warrant upgrading the GeForce GTX 780 Ti.
