i have recently purchased the 780ti sc with the stock heatsink fan. it runs amazing at 5k supersampled on gta iv. yes i know gta i is poorly optimized but every test i do always comes back to the gpu getting about 90 percent load. and everything else is very low 45% or less consumption.. i purchased this to get high resolution while playing gta iv and the framerate at 5k get me about 35-40 frames but at 7k it gets me about 15-25. my goal here is to get about 30-40 frames or more with whatever gpu i buy. my game runs and runs at all high settings the problem now is the frames at the resolution. so what should i do. return 780ti sc 3gb. and put my gtx 680 4gb back in and just sli another one?

Yes you can do super sampling with the ENB graphics mod in GTA IV. But there is no need to make it 5k or even 7k. Just double your monitor's native resolution is enough to get impressively realistic image.

For example if your monitor is 1080p, supersample at 3840x2160 (this is called 4k)
The same technique for a 1440p monitor means supersampling at 5k.
Any resolution higher than that there is no point in supersampling and AA anymore as you'd have to be sitting too far back to notice any jaggies.

thanks for your technical response. i have ran the game at 1080p and it runs perfect. i have run at 4k its alirght but 5k is amazing and 7k is life like.... and let me get this straight you are saying just change in my display settings the montiro resolution? or in the nvida gpu panel?

i feel like everyone on here just wants to make the "answer" for the questions for credit or something and you are not taking in accountability for what i am stating. i have the resolution just not at a high frame rate with the 780tisc 3gb. or should the two 680 4gb in sli do the trick?
 
I doubt you'll get better results than with a single 780 Ti SC. GTA IV is a really old game and a terrible console port to begin with. It's also very CPU-heavy and graphics performance is easily bottlecked by the CPU.

What I'm more concerned about is why you would want to supersample at such high resolutions. But if that's what you want to do by all means go ahead.
