How will this perform on my asus 990fx sabertooth mobo? Will 770's SLI be better, or one 770, or will it help getting 780? Will 8350 handle it? thanks (1920x1080)

8350 and 780 will max any game you want at 1080p :D

So, one 780 will enhance my experience more than two 770's?

you dont want to sli if you can avoid it, and that mobo is fine.

they also dont scale 100%, so say that 1 780 gives 100% performance, and adding a second 780 puts it at 160%, and a 3rd 780 at 190%, and a 4th at 210% performance.

sli and crossfire get what is called micro stutter and not to mention not all programs are SLI/crossfire compatible.

there is no sli with a cpu, a graphics card can only sli/crossfire with another, same graphics card. the 8350 will handle any game on ultra for another year or two, but if you can afford it go for the i5 4670k.

I meant that I think my cpu is too weak to do 780 sli at full capability. I might, but Then I need a new motherboard too...

you know what, I think Ill go get i5 system instead. with 780 and 4670k. Will be pretty beast

Not totally true. In OP's situation there is no iGPU to do a CPU and dedicated card together BUT with AMD's APU's you can use a dedicated card with the iGPU on the CPU to crossfire together. Also in the case OF AMD's GPU's as long as the cards are the same series they can be put together like this: 7850 +7870 will work together, 7750 + 7770 will work together 7950 + 7970 + 7990 will work together. Only Nvidia has this limitation.

the 8350 will handle the 780 easily but not to much more before the CPU will become a major bottle neck for performance. Most quad core Intel CPU's will out perform the AMD FX-8350 so IF you are planing on going SLI in the future GO with an Intel CPU.

technically, running an apu's integrated graphics is not crossfire, but dual graphics, and you need the same gpu to crossfire, so a 7950 and 7970 have the same gpu, thus they will work. same with 7850 and 7870, and 7750 and 7770. and yes, if you want to sli then go intel, but i wouldnt sli now, its better to just wait for the next gen of cards.

If you want to squabble over semantics "Duel" graphics is "crossfire" as there is no other term that fits the use of 2 GPU's together besides crossfire for AMD. Crossfire = 2 GPU's working together. The iGPU is still a GPU as It is a graphics processing unit. iGPU = Integrated Graphics Processing Unit. Before the introduction of the iGPU on the CPU it was on the motherboard and when AMD tried the same thing then, they called it Hybrid Crossfire. So what is the difference? the difference is where the iGPU is and the speed it can interact with the CPU. Other than this it is still CrossFire.

yes, dual graphics mode is the same as hybrid crossfire and crossfire, its just the official name for the apu's graphics combined with a dedicated gpu.

two 770's will absolutely smoke a 780ti... they SLI scale at like 90% - 95% as long as you're talking purely GPU bottleneck.
surely in some games, you get CPU bottlenecked, so the benchmarks would show more like the 60% you referenced.

sounds like poster has some monay to burn... get a 4770k and 770sli setup

no, if you have some money to burn, go with a single 780 Ti opposed to 770 sli, because 1. the 770 sli takes more power, 2. the 770 sli isnt supported by all programs and games, 3. sli and crossfire have microstutter, 4. if you want to upgrade in the future, its much better to add a 2nd 780 TI than a 3rd 770, and 5. a 770 sli will generate more heat.

the only advantage the 4770 has over the 4670 is the addition of hyper threading which at this point has no bearing on gaming.

Now that being said Danbuscus is correct in the aspect of energy consumption and in the aspect of adding a 3rd card. Yes 3 780's will consume more energy than 3 770's but the 780's will produce more performance per watt than the 770's so the 780's win.

well, hyperthreading is starting to take into the gaming industry, but as for current games, there isnt much point. if you use applications that use hyperthreading, the a xeon E-3 1230 v3 is pretty much a i7 4770 without the integrated graphics, and its a bit cheaper. but for just gaming, the i5 4670k is just fine.

Agreed on this point. May be after 3 to 4 generations of CPU's games may take advantage of more threads. Still at this point ( like you mentioned ) Intel has the performance. Best option for future proofing is the Intel CPU's. Oops did I already say that?

I'm almost certain that 4670k with a good mobo and 780 will be the way to go. It will be a beast. Getting it after the summer. Thanks for the replies
