or

Which one of these gives best FPS/Performance?

Let's say BF4. How much FPS would I get in BF4 on Ultra settings 1080p ?

Thanks in advance.

I have two 780s, I was averaging around 110-115 FPS in BF4 @ 1080p on Ultra.

The 780s would obviously be better for pure performance.

The 780's would absolutely offer better raw performance. That said, you would run into sli requirements then. Such as at least a 1000w well rated power supply, you'll need absolute great case airflow for those cards as well. The 780 and 780 ti are beasty cards, require a lot of power and kick off a lot of heat. While the 780's would offer the best pure performance, they would also be the most expensive. You'll need $500 per card x2, plus a very good psu, $150. Must have great airflow as well so may need to ass a few fans.

where as the 780ti is a just great awesome card, you'll spend $750 on the card, while it wont be as good as the 780 sli, you can use a lower wattage psu so you probably wont need to upgrade, you wont run into airflow problems like you would with 780 sli. No matter what your running, the 780ti should handle it. And then years down the road, you could then go the sli route with the 780ti. Vs having to upgrade your gpu's themselves like you would with the 780's in sli. You could always add a third 780 down the road, but then your talking massive power supply and again huge cooling issues in which liquid cooling would be the best bet.

So, the 780 SLI has been measured in BF 4 at 91 average fps. <-- Link

A single 780 ti has been measured in BF 4 at 75 average fps. <-- Link

Both were on Ultra at 1080p.

The 780s would be about $1,000

The 780 ti would be about $729
(got mine for exactly that on NewEgg - EVGA Superclocked)

So, it's $270 for about 15 fps improvement in your target game, which is a 20% improvement in BF4. That pretty pricey if you ask me. I'd go with the 780 ti now, and then you'll be set up to SLI that in the future.

Also, what refresh rate is your monitor? If it's 60, then 780 ti will be more than enough.
