3x GTX 770 vs 2x GTX 780

Zynch · Jun 1, 2013

Im looking between getting 3 GTX 770's and a Good screen or 2x GTX 780's and a Average screen.

Good screen is 1ms response, 24" LED Backlit

Average screen is 5 ms response 21" LED backlit

Dont really care to much for graphics card brand which is why i havent listed it.

Definitely go with the 770's. You'll need quite a beefy power supply, at least 900, probably 1000 watts. More importantly, the 770 requires 42 amps on the 12v rail, so take that into consideration. I honestly don't think you need 3 high end graphics cards for one "good" monitor, but that's your choice. Certainly don't get 2 gtx 780's just to run an "average" monitor.

What were the resolutions of the monitors you are debating?

You are wasting money at 1080p. There are so few games that would push the 770 on 1080p. Unless you just want to stroke your epeen amongst your friends. Or have more money than sense.

TRI SLI+ one of those new 4k monitors

Probably better of only getting 2x 770s and buying a 30" 1600p monitor or something. Maybe if you had 3x 1080p monitors I could see needing tri-sli 770s.

Norlag :

1920x1200, I only have 3 put down because i'm not very prone to updating my parts, i would rather work all one summer and get 3 than have to work some of this summer and some of next summer.
Since posting this i have found a better "good screen" which has 5 ms response, 24", LED backlit, IPS

I plan on getting more screens in the future but i would rather get the expensive stuff out of the way. It is going to take me 10 weeks of work and odd-jobs to get the system, but it would only take 2 weeks to get two new monitors
Believe me i wish i had 12 weeks to work this year, i dont.

If you are getting multiple monitors you should buy them at the same time, otherwise the older one will look dimmer and the colors will look different than the new one(s). I have personally experienced this even though they were the exact same model.

as i said, i wish i could but there arent working slots available for me to get all the monitors at once
