I can trade my GTX 780 (non Ti) for a GTX 970 for $50.
Is it worth it, even with the 3.5GB problem?
Yours is better, the gtx 980 ti is better than yours so unless you can get that don't bother, Overclock yours if you can
The 3.5 GB problem doesnt exist, it's 4 GB its just the last 500 mb is at a lower bandwidth speed.

Thus it is a problem.
Last 512 MB, you mean.

implying anything he's gonna need a graphics card for is gonna use 4 GB.

No, 780 performs better in benchmarks while 970 does marginally worse for a minimal gain in computing speed.
Overclock it.

You're thinking of the 780 Ti.
Foolish anon.

do it anon, 970 is slightly better than the non ti
>>51813281
yes
780 is pretty comfy
I got a 970 with free backplate and game for $280 so basically $200

The fact that we're having a conversation on how close they perform should probably clue you in on what you should do.
the 970 is a lot better once you OC it
