I currently own a gtx 780 and as christmas is coming up I decided on upgrading my GPU. So the thing is, which one should I choose? (SLI is an option! but is 3GB GDDR5 enough?)

[my system specs]

-i5 4570

-16GB RAM

-Corsair RM 750 (psu)

Things I do on my PC:

Mainly gaming (BF4, BF3, Battlefornt, StarWars TheOldRepublic)

and sometimes some Map rendering (but my 780 is already overkill for the maprendering)

My monitor is from LG [2560x1080, 60Hz IPS].

And no I won't buy a TitanX or a Fury X!

And I do not care if AMD or Nvidia the only thing that matters is performance ;)

Thanks in advance!

I would suggest a Fury the non x one, it is pretty damn good for the price.

R9 Fury is the only one that makes sense bellow a 980 Ti/Fury X - 970 performs the same as a 780 +/-5% and a 980 is not that far from a Fury but performs 15% worse

What about memory, if I choose a second 780 will the 3GB be enough?

not really - 3GB is minimum for 1080p now.

Hm okay, that is unfortunate :$

So I'll probably have to go with a fury :$

you won't regret it - 35-40% improvement over a 780 is quite a gain. Also - more VRAM.

Well it is 1GB more, and the fury costs about 670.- (where I live)

What about the next dual GPU that will come out (Amd and nvidia)?

Do you know anything about it?

Nvidia aren't releasing dual GPUs anymore

As for AMD - R9 Gemini (Fury X2) is coming soon-ish
