  1. Cheers for all the replies lads and the warm welcome from C1intFunWood, I'm definitely leaning towards the 780ti even with its dauntingly high price tag and even though I know two 770's in SLI would outperform a 780ti. Its mainly just for the sheer fact I'm put off by the idea of running into complications with an SLI configuration as I am unsure as to whether I would be able to deal with such issues that some people hv raised in this topic. Oh and for those of u think I'm buying two 770's I already own one so I would not be buying two. Also for those of u who feel that one 770 is decent enough 2 run most games at max, u are somewhat right, most games do run at max and at very stable fps but most AAA games such as AC Black Flag, Hitman Absolution, run into problems. Black flag ran at 12 fps during ship battles and boarding and I was running at the recommended settings for the 770 using Nvidia Geforce experience, and even with a bit of tinkering it still ran pretty rough during these scenes. The way I see it is if my 770 cant handle games like AC Black Flag the way id like it 2 hw the fuck is it gona run games like Watchdogs at an fps I find acceptable and graphics I that I would like? Upgrade.
  2. I am fairly new to pc gaming and am now getting the bug to want to upgrade every time I see something knew and shiny. My rig consist of an intel 4670k which I hv yet to overclock but will do when I am confident enough to do so, as well as 8GB of Kingston HyperX Beast RAM and a factory overclocked KFA2 GTX 770. Im happy with my rig but ever since getting my pc I've become a bit of a graphics whore and want to see everything maxed out at 60fps. Now this is probably very foolish of me but nevertheless it is hw I now feel which sucks because nw all my games on Xbox One look like shit in comparison and I no longer touch the bloody thing after forking out nearly £500 for it, which by the way I had purchase before my pc. Anyway with the upcoming game Watchdogs coming out and future games looking rather taxing on systems, I feel I need to upgrade. This new deal that allows for a free code for Watchdogs with select Nvidia cards made it feel like the opportune moment to purchase an upgrade. now as I said I'm very knew to this pc stuff so I was unsure as to whether I should go SLI or just fork out the extra cash for a better single graphics card. I run my pc through my 1080p TV due to lack of space and I just prefer to play with a controller lying bk on my bed then with a mouse and keyboard. So 2 770s in SLI sounds like a tad overkill just for 1080p gaming but its far cheaper for me to go with SLI then the other option which is a 780ti. Im also worried about heat as I'm not sure hw hot cards get in SLI, I only hv a mid tower case therefore less space and air to flow around, plus would it be a waste of time considering some games don't even support SLI and therefore I am just wasting power and producing more heat when only one graphics card will be utilised. Anyway the fact of the matter is for 1080p gaming I want to play games like watch dogs, Metro Last Light, Crysis 3 on ultra at a solid 60fps should I go with the cheaper option which would be the 2 way 770 SLI which comes to around £380 and thats including a Corsair RM 1000W or the rather more pricey option the 780ti which comes to £630 with the Corsair RM 850w which I'm not keen to fork out that much for but if I'm better for it I will. I do apologise for the incredibly long question but any answer would be much appreciated.
