Would running 2 770tf's be about equal to a 780ti set to the highest setting for a 1080p LCD TV?

2 770s would have better performance than 1 780 ti

if your adding a 770 to make sli, then yes they are about equal if perhaps just past the performance of a 780ti. If your buying both now vs a 780ti now, it'd be cheaper to get the 780ti, plus down the road you can add a second if/when you ever needed to. If you sli' 770's you should get the 4gb cards, at roughly $400 a piece. A 780ti I believe to be around $650?

Yes, a 780ti is ~$650.

I guess 2x780 tf's would be even better. 6gb and 768 bits. Am I correct? And do more gb's really matter in a graphics card? I want the computer I'm building to not need upgrading for quite awhile.

The 780 ti 3gb is $709.99 and $3.99 shipping at newegg. Superbiiz has it for 667.99 and $17.00 shipping. That's the cheapest I found it.

In today's games, you generally don't need more than 2gb, unless your gaming at 4k.

what rock are you leaving under?

it would be stupid to get a 2gig card for 1080p or higher, new games are going over 2gig at 1080p easy, if you going to SLI a 770 get the 4gig card rather that blow $800 just to have limitation in a few months because you cant max out everything anymore

2gig cards @1080p or more are not for people who want max everything in their games

I said generally. Some recommend more than 2 gigs, but not most.

the guy is not building this to play just current games also every major game that has come out since end of last year recommends more than 2gig so why advice someone to go 2gig when its stupid at this stage,, its pretty clear from now on buying a 2gig card for $300+ is plain stupid

You don't need sli 770's for single monitor 1080p gaming. By the time you need sli, is the time that 3gb or more is the standard for vram.

Multi monitors/3k/4k is when you'd need sli 770's. And those conditions would also need more than 2gb vram.

So if your going sli 770's, you need 4gb vram, or you don't need sli 770's. If your single monitor 1080p with sli 770's, your anticipating for when games are more demanding. And upon anticipating graphics power, you should also anticipate vram power needed. So again, go single 770 with 2gb, that's fine, single 770 with 4gb is well ok maybe but a stretch. But sli 770, to spend $650 for 2gb vs $725 for 4gb, that's barely a difference, and knowing sooner or later you'll be bottlenecked by 2gb seems silly since your already spending so much.

I think the best way to go would be to use the 780 ti 3gb with the i7 4790k and sli that when I need to.
