I am wanting the tech's to come out of their hiding places and give me some info on the FPS and reviews of the 2x760's SLI Vs 1x770 choice I have at hand,

So anyway I have the choice of getting myself in the next week of 1 Gainward GeForce GTX 770 Phantom 2GB or 2 Gainward GeForce GTX 760 Phantom 2GB

And I have my reason's for wanting the Gainward's if you need them then OK it will be at the very bottom of this post,

First of all the price of the 770 is $499.00, and the price of the 760 together is $658,
But here's the thing...... SLI has always as soon as I started using it been the best thing since ice cream in summer to me,
And I've always wanted to do a triple scoop, And what I am going to ask is would 3 760's be better for me than 2 770's ?
someone said that the 3 760's will bottleneck but I think he was jelly

I have more than one monitor and plans for getting more,




P.s. I got 2 Gainward 560's back in 2009 I think well it was a long time ago, overclocked them the day I got them and used everyday for games on max setting's, They're still as good as new just make so much noise it's like they're trying to make my case fly like a UFO,
They have lived a good life and will be sent to a mate who has asked if he could use them as he has only ever seen AMD cards for playing games,

There are reviews out there, but I don't know if they are Gainward GTX 760 SLI reviews.
GTX 770=$400
GTX 760=$250, why is 2 Gainwards $658?

Since you are happy with SLI, I would opt for 2 GTX 760s, but I wouldn't pay $158 extra for Gainward.
EVGA has good customer support, so I would recommend 2 of those from them.

I am not going to pay more money for shopping in the USA ,

to that other guy about the Gainwards. the price for the EVGA's are around the same not $150 more give or take $50 at most,
Think you were looking at the 660's as they're $300 each here in the land of the OZ AUS,

The thing is that the x2 760's support 3 way SLI and I do have the room with PSU, and would be getting a 3rd within a few months after getting the 2 760's, But if I get the 770's I would have to wait at lest 3 months til I can get a 2nd one,

Also to help with anyone else who is confused about why Gainward ???<<< they have removable fans for cleaning they will also last a lot longer than 2 years as they have been under rated over the year's but slowly getting to the point of being on the top, While leadtek have dropped a lot since the 400's cards and have not yet updated anyone of their card driver's like winfox, Gainward on the other hand has Expert tools and it has made overclocking your GPU's much easier than ever be for and you don't have to have their cards,

Think I will go with the 760's and get 3 way on my CPU 5GHz AMD, 16 GB ram, and tornado case effect

if I do go the 3 way SLI I won't need to do any kind of a overclock and do like to rotate my cards every few months this will just mean I have no more pc upgrading to do for 4-6 years getting the 3rd card, other than getting 3 better 144Ghz monitor's and watching porn in 3D
