Gtx 770 SLI or gtx 780?

aesthetiques · Jan 23, 2014

Right now I've just bought a gtx 770, and I'm thinking about upgrading and the future of the next Gen. I want to be solid for the next 1-2 years for high performance.

System specs:
I7 2600k 3.4ghz
8gb of ddr3 ram
Gtx 770
Gigabyte h77-ds3h mobo

My current motherboard doesn't support sli, but I'm also planning on upgrading that.. Any suggestions on a new mobo that would support my stuffs?

If you go to the trouble of getting a new motherboard, maybe you should consider a new cpu as well? The gtx 770 will hold you @ 1080p for a while, though when you get a chance, 770 sli will get you better performance(though I would recommend that upgrade after a new mobo and cpu).

What resolution do you play at as that will determine what you need for the next 1-2 years. a 770 SLI set up will absolutely destroy a 780 by itself.

Your cpu is fine, grab an aftermarket cooler and OC that crap out of it, that's the whole point of a k series.

I'd return the GTX 770 and get a GTX 780 or 780 Ti. Buying a new MB (and maybe a new CPU) makes the SLI option too much trouble IMO.

You also need to think about the PSU requirements (620W for a single GTX 780 Ti, 575W for a single GTX 780, 850W for GTX 770 SLI). Will the SLI option require buying a new PSU too?

Edit: and yeah, overclocking that 2600k would help.

Unless you are gaming at greater than 1080p the GTX 770 will do you just fine. At a later date you could SLI them but for now the GTX 770 will work just fine I would not worry about it. And as said the 2600K is not a bad CPU overclock it and you should be fine. When you make your motherboard upgrade you can then decide how you want to procide from there.

I'm gaming at 1080p. As of now, I don't plan on increasing that.
