nvidia 660Ti SLI vs 780Ti

Glenn_Keawe · Nov 8, 2013

Any thoughts on single GPU 780Ti vs a pair of 660Ti's, I'm currently running a two-way SLI using 660Ti's, I can run COD Ghost on extra no problem using a single gpu, but with SLI enabled creates issues. I heard that the drivers need to catch up, so I was wondering about this 780Ti, is the overall performance worth upgrading to the 780Ti?

Not so sure it's nvidia's drivers - I think it is the game with SLI issues. I wish I could afford a 780Ti - would go for it in an instant. The performance will be great (so is SLI 660s) with little/no driver issues. The game on the other hand will still have issues

The 780 Ti would most likely outperform the SLI 660 Tis, if I hadn't bought my 780s already, would've definitely been using two 780 Tis.

Glenn_Keawe :

a 780ti would beat the 660ti nicely and give you the upgrade path to put a second 780ti in there if you want to future proof and sli imo is pretty solid from what ive seen so far but since cod is a fresh game theres work that needs to be done. To boil it down if the 660ti is good enough for you and if you dont need to upgrade stick with what you have. Also with cod since its not fully optimized it will make you think you might need gpu upgrades when you may not need to

I was contemplating a single 780Ti with an upgrade to SLI later on ( but NOT too late as another GPU might not be available ). I was just wondering what others thought about this newly released card. I think I can safely hang on to the dual 660Ti's for now, I know that its all about marketing anyway ! thanks for the inputs !

Yea the dual 660ti is still a beast and if your not having any issues running games i would hang on to them. Im running 2 760s and im not even thinking about upgrading untill the 800s come out and the 780ti just dropped as well but i dont have the need to jump ship

Again SLI issues from what I understand is a game "thing" and hopefully be resolved before 2 months like BO2. My 460 SLI still works decent but having to use one card for Ghosts taxes it pretty severely. I like SLI when it works but one good card is most times the best option.

Hello, this is my first post on tomshardware and I just wanted to share my thoughts as I've recently become a PC gamer. I used to game on my PS3 and I am an FPS genre fan, Battlefield and Call of Duty veteran.

I've always appreciated the smoothness Call of Duty series was able to offer on consoles and I've noticed that enabling vsync and setting the monitor to 60 Hz refresh rate would offer the same performance but with superior video quality on my PC. To experience 60 fps I had to search for a fix that people used in order to make their game work on a 4GB RAM configuration. I'm not sure if I'm allowed to post links so just search 'Ghosts RAM fix' on google and click on the 1st youtube link. Following those instructions had given me a performance boost and now I get 60 fps on extra quality and 2x MSAA. I run 2 Gigabyte GTX 660 Tis in SLI and own an i7 3770 CPU OCed to 4.1 GHz. Hopefully this works for you too.

Cod ghost needs a patch for sure theres nothing honestly that cant be done on our end and IW need to work out the issues

2 x GTX 660 Ti's in SLI run at about 1.8 x the fps of one GTX 660 Ti. This works out to be about the same grunt as a 780 Ti. See http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html#
But with more power usage and fan noise.

I see it more closer to a 780 more so then the 780 Ti..Still 2 660ti in sli is pretty solid at 1080p

If all you play is COD Ghosts at 1080p you will not even see an improvement. Ghosts is not pushing video cards.
