Hey guys, I'm having a really hard time choosing a second GPU to replace a really weak gtx650ti. I'm running a hackintosh right now, video editing 4k footage. Here are my current specs.
Computer Specs
CPU: i7 4390k 3.5@4.4ghz
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 32GB (4x8GB) DDR3 1600 MHz
Mobo: GA-x79-UP4
GPU1: Nvidia gigabyte windforce GTX780
GPU2: Nvidia GTX650ti boost
Hard Drive Array: 4x2gb 7200rpm software RAID0
System and Scratch Drive: 2x 512 ssd’s, not raided
Case Fans:9
Power Supply: Evga p1000watt
The gtx780's at the price in the $500's really look sweet. I already have a 780 so it sounds acceptable having another one, it is a great card. So the question is...which one. The zotac amp! looks fast but I've never heard of them. The MSI lightening is my second pick. Or maybe a matching gigabyte windforce.....
The other option would be to spend $200 extra bucks and get a gtx780ti....not sure if the performance boost I will get from it will even matter though for video editing. I would be willing to spend the money if it mattered. And again, which one!? There are so many to choose from.
I think the 690 and Titan are out of my price range right now.
Anyways, I know there are a lot of these topics that are out there already but they are all older. I'm really hoping someone can give me an easy answer.
No ati recommendations please...already have a gtx, need to keep it in the family for potential sli config.
Thank you very much.
Joe.
