1080p Dual Graphics Cards

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

Hi everyone! I'm planning on building a PC for Christmas, and I plan to use Nvidia. I've created a recent thread asking if I should go with a 5960x or a 4790k. Long story short I'm going to use the money to buy dual GPUS instead of a 5960x and go with a 4790k. I would like to know how much of a performance increase I will get with dual GTX 780 TI'S at 1080p. I know the 900 series is coming out on the 18th most likely but for now I just want to know about 780 ti's but I will definetly get the 900 series instead. Also I would like to know if I should get a Titan Black instead of two 780 Ti's for 1080p Thanks to all who help!

For 1080p gaming two 780ti's would be better than the titan for sure, or the 980 as you mentioned. At 1080p it will have no problem. Honestly there's no point to sli'ing 780ti's at 1080p. Are you using a 144hz monitor?

2 cards in SLI gets about an 80% increase in fps.

What's your budget for your PC?

Around 2800$

No I will be using a 60 hz monitor, but will definetly get 120 hz in the future.

StaticDrift :

At 120hz the SLI will benefit in intense games like crysis and battlefield but for 60hz even one 780ti will max out everything.

How much of an FPS increase are we talking here?

No point in SLIing on FHD, that too 60Hz, single powerful GPU is cooler, quieter, more efficient, less driver issues (Nvidia doesn't have much though) and best bang for the buck, compared to SLI. You can even go with 5930k w/ custom loop and OC it to 4.2-4.4Ghz. Be sure to get 900 series top card and not 780 Ti. SLI it when you get 144Hz or 2k or 4k or tri display.

But if your going to get two 780ti's I would spring for 1440p

Maybe you can figure it out on how much FPS will you have when you finished that set-up. We are just normal persons with normal job and normal income. We cannot afford that 2 GTX780ti.

Try it out and find out the boost in FPS.

MeteorsRaining :

why not? Surely I would get at least 90 fps on crysis 3 maxed

MeteorsRaining · Sep 11, 2014

StaticDrift :

You can 'get' 90 FPS in the game, but it won't 'show' 90 FPS as the monitor won't refresh more than 60 times a sec, no matter if you get 60 FPS or 120.

I can see the difference between 60 and 120 on this monitor, I disable vsync lol

iamlegend · Sep 11, 2014

No stuttering issues by turning V-sync off?

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

iamlegend :

No not at all, is that normal?

iamlegend · Sep 11, 2014

I don`t know. I don`t have a ti.
Can you upload a video of your gameplay?

iamlegend :

I have a 660 right now. I'm planning on getting 780 ti's for christmas! feel free to check out any of my videos! This a BF4 video on low with gtx 660 vsync off https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1JeR1lAVGE

MeteorsRaining · Sep 11, 2014

Disabling Vsnyc might get you better results on perspective, but your monitor technically just can't go beyond 60 refreshes in 1 sec, ie, 60 FPS, physically.

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

so should i get a 120 hz for this powerful of a setup? Should I go with 2 780 tis or a single for a 120 hz

MeteorsRaining · Sep 11, 2014

StaticDrift :

How about tri FHD? That'd be an immersive experience and would challenge the SLI setup real good

iamlegend · Sep 11, 2014

Do you get 120FPS stable on GTX 660?

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

iamlegend :

Um on low it can get to 130 usually it stays in the 90 - 100 range everything low

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

MeteorsRaining :

Well the thing is I DONT want to challenge the SLI set up haha. I am not going above 1080p because I wanna hit insane FPS on maxed graphics 4x aa. If anything I want these grapihcs cards or card to chew through stuff like nothing.

iamlegend · Sep 11, 2014

Ow. How about in ULTRA?

StaticDrift · Sep 11, 2014

iamlegend :

Um on a 64 player server 40 to 50 fps with my AMD FX 6200 six core
