ASUS GTX 760x2 4GB VS EVGA GTX 780 6GB (NO RECOMMENDATIONS PLEASE)

XtremeAero426 · May 31, 2014

I'm having trouble deciding between the ASUS 760x2 4GB or the EVGA 780 6GB as a future upgrade.

EVGA 780 6GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814487040
ASUS 760x2 4GB: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121839

I need it to be able to play every game on Ultra Settings at 5760x1080. I know the 780 can but I'm not sure if the 760x2 can. I'm looking for the best performance per dollar. Don't worry about these parts being bottlenecked by anything else.

Key details:
- Must be able to play all games on Ultra Settings at 5760x1080 resolution.
- Bottlenecking is not an issue.

760x2 Advantages:
- Better Performance
Source: GPUBoss

780 Advantages:
- More VRAM

well, dual Gpu is better in performence, but only a few games support SLI, & it really limits upgrade options.
I will say go for the 780.

GTX 760 SLI would make sense if you already had one, but otherwise the GTX 780 would be a better option.

Why? The SLI setup has more of everything (except RAM): Performance, heat output, power draw, noise, driver issues and microstuttering.

the 780 all the way. The 2 760s are way overpriced.

Why do you need 6g of v ram? are you running multiple monitors? if not id just get the 3g version. you will only use maybe half of that anyway.

I'm running 3 1920x1080 monitors and I need it to run Ultra settings on every game.

get the 780. the 760 is not powerful enough to even properly utilize 4g of ram. Google it, you will see the many articles and threads about it. for single monitor set up maybe but 3 i would not recommend it.

Eduello :

This isn't an SLI setup, (yes I know it uses SLI technology) it's a Dual-GPU.

Here's a comparison of the 3GB 780 and the 760x2: http://gpuboss.com/gpus/GeForce-GTX-780-vs-GeForce-GTX-760-X2

Most modern games support SLI today, don't they?

SLI is way better than "only a few games" support it. A dual GTX 760 video card is overall a bit faster than a single GTX 780, even at multi-monitor resolutions, but it still may not be a slam dunk. This review includes gaming benchmarks at 5760x1080, so knock yourself out:

The 760x2 seems like a bad option for what I'm looking for a this point, so I most likely won't use it then. These charts obviously have the GTX-780 3GB and not the GTX-780 6GB. Will the doubled VRAM make a difference in my frame rates? Also, this has made me think whether or not I should wait for the GTX-780-Ti 6GB or simply get the 6GB GTX-780.

v ram has nothing to do with how powerful the card is. its just the gas tank. more gas does not make you go faster

XtremeAero426 · Jun 5, 2014

MalakiArtook :

So does that mean I should wait for the 780-Ti 6GB?

XtremeAero426 :

Honestly you wait to long and the maxwell series will be out. No one can answer that for you really. i say get what you can now and enjoy it. No point in postponing your enjoyment imo. just get a 780 or if you are worried it wont be strong enough get 2 4g 770s. They can be had used off amazon for like 280.
