Hi guys.

I know there has been lots of threads about this, but I just wanted to ask you this, since there's another part in my question.
My question:

I have a budget of 650 dollars.

I have single monitor 1920x1080, and I'm planning on buying another GPU in 3-4 years, so this GPU has to last long. What do you guys recommend? What should I pick that will be able to handle future games? 770 4gb SLI for my monitor, or 760 2gb SLI? Maybe 780?

I also have i7 3770k processor, and AX860 PSU (I think its way than enough for future reference)


EDIT: turns out my monitor is 24", 60 hertz, so after all, do i really need that huge graphics card? What would be best for me, for next 3 years , and suitable with my screen? I might get a second screen just for the help, would this require more VRAMS on gpu? Can anyone help me, what should i pick in this situation? My budget now is about 650 dollars (just for 780), but maybe I shouldnt spend it all?

My monitor: LG M2452D, its a TV (sort of), but i use it for gaming

For a single 1080p monitor 4GB VRAM isn't necessary and if you SLI a couple 760 2GB cards you won't have 4GB VRAM. The way SLI works you would still only have 2GB VRAM which is plenty for what you want. I'd go with the SLI Gigabyte GTX 760 WF Rev 2 http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DGM8B6O/ref=as_li_q... option. Two 760's are faster than a single GTX Titan and by far the best performance you can get for the money.




Thanks for the response, I appreciate your help. I have another question though - Are the VRAM's going to be enough for the next 2-3 years? I know that games nowadays don't use that much of VRAM, but taking a look at crysis 3 (I've read it requires 2.5 gb VRAM) makes me think I should go for 770 4gb.

Maybe there's something else to pick for this price ? Maybe AMD cards, or no? Any other GTX cards?

AMD has crossfire issues/driver issues imo i wouldnt go that route and as byogamingpc advice that sounds pretty solid for what your trying to do. 2x 760s at 1080p is pretty vicious and well worth its price of admission

Also, I've been reading in some forums, and people tend to say that with SLI i will have some issues like: Sli profiles to setup,stutters,lower minimum fps


Is that true?

Anyways, is this card good for SLI Option? http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-Dual-Link-Graph...

Or should I pick this? http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00DHW4HXY/ref=asc_df_B00DHW4H...


I can't say that I have ever seen those issues and I'm on my fourth SLi rig since 2004.

Thanks for reply, but what card should i pick from those two? Or neither?

Also, I was thinking about SLI'ing 4gb versions. Would this be a choice for it? http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nvidia-GeForce-Cooling-Graphics...

Any opinions about it?
Or should I stick with 2gb superclocked version?

P.S. I'm planning to get the cards from amazon.co.uk since i live in europe, not USA

BUMP, turns out my monitor is 24", 60 hertz, so after all, do i really need that huge graphics card? What would be best for me, for next 3 years , and suitable with my screen? I might get a second screen just for the help, would this require more VRAMS on gpu? Can anyone help me, what should i pick in this situation?
