Gamers upgrading will be considering the GeForce GTX 780 Ti graphics card as a serious price to performance entry point. This card will meet and play most demanding AAA games and do so with good graphics setting as standard, and confidently pushing past the recommended game system requirements needed to run today’s games. All games with system requirements of DirectX 11 or lower are met by this card.

Here is a quick game performance synopsis for the AAA games played in 2021. In particular we focus on how well the GeForce GTX 780 Ti runs at Ultra graphics settings and what frames per second it is getting at 1080p, 1440p and 4K monitor resolutions. When considering how well this graphics card can run the 1000 most demanding games available today it can best 274 of the games’ recommended graphics requirements.

Looking at some of the modern popular games people are playing today the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is running Outriders and delivering playable performances on 1080p Ultra, getting 30 frames per second. Comparing this to Grand Theft Auto VI which is predicted to get weak results, where it averages 24 FPS. Another popular game we looked at is Days Gone, which is predicted to run at 46 frames per second.

Moving screen sizes up to 1440p we ran Outriders on the GeForce GTX 780 Ti to see that it got a weak set of frame rates. Here are the low to ultra results at 1440p - L: 59FPS, M: 47FPS, H: 32FPS, U: 23FPS. Another popular game to investigate at 1440p with this card was Grand Theft Auto VI which we predicted will be weak in performance netting an Ultra FPS of 18 FPS. Finally we then took a look at Days Gone where its predicted Ultra 1440p Frame rates were playable at 35 FPS. Gaming at 1440p with the GeForce GTX 780 Ti is not a bad choice for a larger screen size like this. Some games will struggle though, but with some careful graphic option adjustments in-game you can normally find a suitable visual experience with this GPU at 1440p.
