Is GTX770 SLI Worth It?
I am building a computer soon. I have a 24" Dell U2414H 1920 x 1080p. I want to get either a GTX 770 or GTX 770s in SLI. Is the SLI worth it? I have the money for it. I currently only use 1 monitor, but I may get a 19" Dell P1913 for just internet research in the future. But will I max out Crysis 3, Minecraft, Metro:LL, Grid 2, Battlefield 4, etc at 1920x1080p with anti-aliasing? Is SLI worth it?

R9 290, comparable to GTX 780 and for the slight more cost of a GTX 770, go for them in Crossfire but the aftermarket cooled models i.e. Asus DirectCU II.

If you already had one gtx 770, then its worth getting another.

For the price of 2 x 770's (2 x $310) you could get a gtx 780 ($450) and keep the change. But 2 x 770's perform about 20% better than a 780.

For a single monitor at 1080p all you need is the (Asus) 780 to max out those games - http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/ASUS/GeForce_GTX_780...

For 1440p or multiple monitors, get a (Sapphire) R9 290.

For 4k get xfire 290's

How about a single 780 or even 780 Ti. You're only limited to 2GB vram on 770's unless you get the 4GB version which are more expensive, and would probably put you over $800. I would look at a 780.

Nope, not for 1080p. I'd suggest getting a 780/ti if you want to max out games fully with AA and 1080p. Sling/CFing doesn't scale well at low resolutions(1080p) so the fps difference is very small but as resolution increases(2k,4k) the differences becomes larger. I have a GTX 770 myself and happily max out the settings on games, I rarely use AA because it's hard to recognize the difference at 1080p. On some occassion I will use 2x AA but no higher as it doesn't seem worth it over the fps drop, so you might want to take that into a ccount
