I doubt it will be better, probably worse FPS in some areas. A 680 is similar to a 960, and 960 is similar to 380. Going from two to one GPU will solve your SLI problems, but may (depending on particular game, and even though going from 2GB to 4GB of RAM) go down in FPS performance. I assumed this is why he was throwing in some money though, as the two 680's are the better performers in the equation.
If it was one GTX680 to one R9 380, it would be an easy choice, but double to single is a bit murkier. When SLI works, then it could very well be better (say if 2GB was enough RAM in that situation), but if it was being a real pain, or not working at all, then it wouldn't.
Since you running SLI, could you help me to make mine work better ? Im actually not even running it... Just using Single GPU for center monitor, and the Wings are to the 2nd GPU.
What do you mean by make it run better? It sounds like you aren't running it at all. You need to go into the Nvidia Control Panel and enable SLI. In my experience SLI works very well for most games.
The two games I'm actively playing right now, Arkham Knight and Fallout 4, don't currently support SLI but that is the exception and not the rule for AAA games. Arkham Knight on PC is a mess in general but I'm confident SLI support will come quickly for Fallout 4.
Whatever game i play, it doesn't works BETTER than single GPU. And im serious, i play Dota 2 at 100-120 Fps, with single GPU, when SLI is Enabled, we go to 60-90 FPS. And DROPS, wich sucks, also the graphics quality is way better i mean, same settings when running SLI, the quality of the textures are awesome. Meanwhile, also H1Z1, running 50-100 FPS in High settings, Single GPU, when SLI is enabled i go to 30-70 FPS wich SUCKS, i did custom profile for H1Z1 to force AFR2 and since new patch of Nvidia, doesn't works like before. CSGO, yeah, the game you can run on a potato, or an iphone 6, no jokes. Single GPU, im locked at 300 fps most of the time with some drops to 250 sometimes. SLI CSGO, we go to 120 FPS, HELLO ? With Drops to 20-30 Fps, wich makes it unplayable. Burnout Paradise City, Single GPU, over a 100FPS at 4800x1080. SLI Enabled i go to 30 FPS, with a lot of strange things happening in the game, such as textures missing, walls overlaying the car, parts of the map missing... And finally, i don't have a fucking clue on how to make this thing works. i've done all what this community told me man, still not working as i wish. Upgraded CPU, RAM, Cooling system, PSU, i did fucking all and now i ran out of money, so sorry for this comment, but sure im fucking pissed off.
Single Performance of this GPU for nowadays, srsly, it's unreal, the GTX 680 from asus works just freaking awesome. 1080 BF4 Ultra Settings no MSAA, i get's smoothly 50-60 FPS with V-sync. SLI, caps at 20 fps
))) Did like 10 OS reinstalls since i've got them, flashed Bios of both, and now im back to Factory bios wich i preciously saved! So, i don't know man, i seriously need some help. Check my other threads, you will get a full look of what are my overall problems afterall. Maybe it's because im running 3 monitors instead of 1. But im not running surround because i have 22-27-22 setup. Just Soffth sometimes for some games, im not a fan of surround at all, but for car games i like it, or for Hack'n'Slash as well. My meta isn't to be running surround. Just to be running 1 Center 27" 144hz monitor with SLI enabled meanwhile having the "Wings" 2x22" monitors so i can monitor Temps, watch a video meanwhile im waiting to be alive in csgo for eg or dota... Hope u get it mate.
