EVGA 06G-P4-3787-KR G-SYNC Support GeForce GTX 780 6GB in Sli

Major Outbreaks · Aug 24, 2014

I am ready for a real gaming desktop, so i was thinking about an EVGA GTX 780 6GB in SLI.

What could be better for the same price? 1,200?

Do you really need to spend a $1200 for the GPU? 12GB is more than enough for gaming unless you plan to run 3 monitors on 4K.

This is better, but requires at least a 900W PSU. Personally, I would feel better with 1000w.

a tad more expensive, but a 780 Ti is ~20% faster than a 780.

What other hardware are you going to use?

Major Outbreaks · Aug 24, 2014

I dont plan on playing on 3 screen no. Just one, Maybe 2 max.
I really dont know what to buy, but i want something really good.

Major Outbreaks :

If you want a really good one and just playing on two screens not at 4K. Get a 780 or 780. Don't bother any AMD cards if you want to spend a lot. Anyways if you need the extra graphics in the future then just SLI the 780 or the 780Ti.

rolli59 · Aug 24, 2014

It is a function of resolution. If one monitor at 1080P then a single normal GTX780Ti is really good.

And gaming on a single 1080p monitor? Mate, there's no point spending past 1k for a single 1080p.

Not a good choice of PSU if the OP plans to SLI in the future.
