Gtx 760s in sli vs. gtx 770 4gb?

In3rt1a · Aug 23, 2013

Hey guys. I am in need of a graphics update, and am currently deciding between two 760s in sli or a 770 4gb. I play games heavily modded w/ texture packs, so I am worried that 2gb on the 760s will not be enough? I play at 1080p on one monitor. The only thing holding me back from getting two 760s is lack of vram... All opinions are appreciated, thanks all.

get the 770 4g if you are gonna mod skyrim heavely then the 4gb is gonna help it ALOT, because once that 2gb vram gets hit its gonna lag up your game bad and maybe in the possible future the new consoles with their 8gb ram and 8 core processors its gonna make 3gb vram the new standard. (thats what im getting 770 4g but in sli for modding bethesda games).

So does two 760s in sli still only give me 2gb of vram?

Antares16M26 · Aug 24, 2013

yes, vram does not stack up in sli.

Ok, thanks for letting me know. Now it's just a matter of which 770 to pick... Zotac's looks nice, as it is very cheap. So does Gb's but I notice it is using stream processors over cuda cores? What's up with that?

EVGA acx 770 is best

I realize this is an old post, but you CAN get gtx 760 4GB and SLI, cheaper and on par in performance with a Titan.

Yah, but my one concern is the 256 bit memory interface being a bottleneck at this point. I think I'll probably get a 290x when AMD releases it.

If you are willing to buy a 290X then consider the GTX780. Otherwise the Gigabyte GTX770 I HIGHLY recommend. I own the 2GB version and it is simply wonderful. Do not worry about bottlenecking your system with this card, it will work beautifully

I wish I had spent the extra money and purchased the 4GB version.

Get a 7970, it's the same thing as a R9 280x. The 7970 has 3GB of VRAM, cheaper, about the same performance, and has three free games. So it's somewhat of a better buy than a 770.

Are 7970s compatible with directx 11.2? Also, 290x outperforms titan for $300 less, which is why it's tempting.

290X would be good, but need to see official benchmarks and price the first.

"The Radeon HD 7000 series hardware architecture is fully DirectX 11.2-capable when used with a driver that enables this feature. AMD is planning to enable DirectX 11.2 with a driver update in the Windows 8.1 launch timeframe in October, when DirectX 11.2 ships. Today, AMD is the only GPU manufacturer to offer fully-compatible DirectX 11.1 support, and the only manufacturer to support Tiled Resources Tier-2 within a shipping product stack.”
