Hi guys, many of you guys help me building my rig, now that i play with it im getting quality problems when playing with my 3 monitor set up.

So i was wondering if is worth to add another 780ti so i can get better FPS when playing BF4, Skyrim, DayZ or anothers AAA titles.

The main issue is if 3gb vram is not enought for it, or should I wait a couple months when the 6gb is released?

I got more than enought power to support an SLI configuration.

Thank you guys!

Adding a second card will not increase the vram amount that is used , the monitors only use what the first card has for vram.

Yeah thats the question, if its better for me to get another 780 ti right now to improve my triple monitor experience, or wait a couple months, sell my 780 ti, and get 2 - 780 ti 6gb.

I have the money to get another 780 ti right now, but im worried that the vram will bottleneck when playing on 3 monitors.

If your sure that the GTX 780Ti will come out with 6gb then it would be worth it to wait , for now you can try overclocking the card that you have or playing with the settings and resolution to get quality game play.

Mind posting about your choice since I'm about to build one and I didn't consider what you said. However I only game on 1 monitor the other 2 are on idle.

If you only game on one monitor then the vram won't matter it's multiple monitors that requires more vram.

Currently only the GTX Titan has 6 GB and the R9-290x has 4 GB and the GTX 780Ti has 3 GB.
