Currently I run a SLI setup with GTX 760s, the 2GB model. Certain... games... have come out recently that seem VRAM hungry (perhaps some involving watching dogs), and I am considering a slight future-proofing for the next year or so. At present, I can get a pair of GTX 760s (the 4GB model) for just under $500, whereas a single 780ti will set me back well over $600 and have potentially less in the way of general performance than my SLI'd 760s.
I know on a single 760 4GB model the memory bus is too narrow to take advantage of the extra VRAM... but what about in a SLI situation, where the VRAM pool stays at 4GB but all of a sudden I have more horsepower to take advantage of that?
Or should I save my money now and wait until Maxwell cards come out?
The rest of my relevant specs:
i5-3570K
8 GB DDR3-1600 RAM
Corsair Air 540 case
