560gtx ti sli or 760 superclocked?

[Reavantos]

i currently have 2 560 gtx's in sli. Would like to know everyone thoughts on going to one 760, would performance be better? i know power usage would go down for sure/ benchmarks and such just are not telling me the whole story.

If you don't own the 760, how about considering the 960 and it will outperform the 560 in sli and the 760

I'd say it'd be better for the most part. Even better if you could find a R9 280X or GTX 770 for the same price point.

 

I also suggest more vRAM if you can get it. There's 4GB variants of both 760 and 770 cards. The 280X has a 6GB variant I think, but that may be too expensive.

i picked up a mint 760 for 100$ figured if it wont do better i would just pass it along for the same price. Just tired of micro stutter and power useage. I would love to get a 770 but people are even pricing used ones really high.

960 is a worse card than the 760, especially a 4GB 760.

explain, its cheaper and performs better how is that worse

[itsmyjobtoknow]

960 is a worse card than the 760, especially a 4GB 760.

VRAM doesn't necessarily affect the performance of any given card. It will only affect the performance only if you are running any given modern game at 1440p and above. 

 

With that being said, the 960 will perform a bit better then a 760, but a 760 with 4gb will give it some headroom in more higher resolution texture games and higher resolution such at 1440p.

 

But then again I have my doubts a 760 or a 960 can handle high texture games at 1440p and above. 

 

At 1080p both will perform similarly with the 960 edging out by a few fps.

I am confident to say a single 760 will outperform two 560 in sli. But if you already own a 560 sli, feel free to test it out yourself to see which one will perform better.

But for a fact the 760 will consume less power and produce less heat then 560 sli.

Depends on the game. Any games that scale decently with SLI you'll lose some performance, but then you no longer have to deal with the issues of SLI and will get more consistent results across games. That said I would probably suggest not sinking money into an upgrade to anything less than a single R9 280X or GTX 960... the upgrade isn't that big. I upgraded from a single EVGA GTX 560 1GB to an Asus GTX 760 2GB and it's only about 30% faster... I wouldn't have paid for this upgrade, but my friend traded me his GTX 760 for my GTX 560 so I wasn't about to complain

960 is on a 128-bit memory bus. It's not 256 vs 256 with less vRAM. Its bandwidth can pose to be an annoying problem even if its core power can get high enough.

Thanks for all the advice thus far folks. i appreciate it. i am sure i will get some fps loss. but i only game at 1080p on my primary monitor. I usually have teamspeak and or my DaRT windows up on my secondary. 

[Reavantos]

also with adaptive vsync and gpu boost it should perform better in some apsects.. i hope?

[Reavantos]

i guess the only way i will find out is to do a bench test of my own. i will probably post it for the sake of knowledge

Let me know how it goes! I just went from SLI 560 ti's to a gtx 970 last night and I'm noticing a 60-100%+ improvement.

Awesome!

i think i will actually make a video for this as well. Might help our budget gamers.

[Reavantos]

maybe @LinusTech or @nicklmg would let me borrow the mars 760 for review purposes *holds breath*

[Reavantos]

Well doubling the VRAM made a huge difference

I will do some real world in games with both as well and post them. But from a benchmark standpoint it was a definite improvement.

 

 

 

Keep in mind this is the EVGA 760 GTX Superclocked
