4gb gtx 760 sli vs 3gb gtx 780

[CyberJesus88]

4gb gtx 760 sli = $560

3gb gtx 780 = $650

im thinking that with 760 sli being $100 less that it might be a better option. 

what are your thoughts?

780. Less noise, better cooling, and more or less the same performance with the option of adding another 780 in the future. You will also have lower power consumption and won't require a good PSU, CPU, etc. to take advantage of SLI right away either.

What resolution?

although scaling is pretty bad with three way sli considering diminishing returns and all it would still smoke the 780 by alot BUT then you have to worry about sli profiles and if the game doesnt have sli support your stuck with a single considerably weaker card, personally and what im actually going to be doing soon is 2 770's with 4gb vram

Go for the 780. It has less power consumption, less heat output, and you don't have to rely on games that are optimized for SLI.

Personally the two 4GB card appeal more to me and what I'm going to go with now. Though games are not optimized for SLI configurations it's been proven time and time again that an SLI configuration is most optimal when gaming in most cases. two 4gb cards still give a larger frame buffer and the 3 GB card and with tech like GPU boost 2.0 your cards will optimized based of temperature so you don't have to worry about overheating though. if you're looking for performance vs noise go with the 780 if you're going with performance vs price get the two 760 4GB.

Wait for the new AMD cards to release so Nvidia drops the price of their current card. Or buy the new AMD card that supposedly beats a Titan for $599.

Go with the best single card you can buy

Leave chance for upgrade

Also only thing u are getting is 1gb of vram and maybe 8-10% better then 780

So easy gtx 780 just has the power
