No graphics card in the history of graphics cards has been "future proof".
If your only comment is "Don't buy this because it's not future proof" then that's pretty nonsensical.
Everyone who pays attention knows you only support AMD cards, no matter what the deal is.

I've checked before posting the deal.
I think the MSI 770 with stock cooler was posted (expired), the 780 non OC and the 780 Lightning. Now you can get the 780 OC version for 10 pound cheaper then last time. The 780Ti is not an amazing deal imo, the performance is little faster/on par with the GTX 970 for 10 pound cheaper. The 970 has more VRAM, needs less power, has DX 12 support, and comes with free games aswell. I would get the 970 instead of the 780Ti.
I bought the 780 non OC and very happy with it. It's very quiet even under load and frame rate was smooth as butter in every game I tried. Now I can enable Nvidia DSR aswell in some games, which I could not do before with the GTX 960.

Would it be worth paying the £230 for the top range one of them or waiting to spend the £230 on a lower spec next gen card?
I would wait to see how these GPUs perform with DX12 games before buying NVidia unless you are not bothered about future proofing.
Edit:
Nvidia have just announced from December if you want the latest driver updates straight away you will have to use geforce experience.
Many nvidia owners unhappy at this so they may change their mind.
More proprietary from Nvidia.

Async compute, right? It would be best to wait to see if Async compute makes a difference in games in the future as neither current AMD or NVIDIA GPU's support all DX12 feature levels and features, so neither are "future proofed" as you put it.
In a market that is constantly changing nothing is "future proofed".

This.
I've read that new Nvidia gpu's won't be coming till at least Q4 next year.
The 780 under £200 is a good deal if you have a very weak gpu. If you have something to get you though till the next batch of cards that fully support DX12 then wait.

weren't both of these posted separately in the last couple of days?
ok, so OP has added the OC versions in each range, but is this really a different deal?

The prices have dropped again.
Worth keeping an eye on the 6gb cards which may drop to £200 imo
