i urge you to not SLI ,a single tougher Graphics Card is always better than two ,why no get a single 690 instead ? Dual 680 GPUs ,Kepler architecture ,and it's a single card ,always make dual Graphics cards your last options if all fails ,i'm just saying

wat

sweet ,suit your selves guys   i'm OK with that ,but i would still trust Linus instead of someone else

I think when multiple people, a few of which have been here for a while, call you out on your misinformation, they're right. How many people do you see agreeing with you vs. disagreeing with you? 

 

I don't give two shits what Linus thinks. It's not 2008, SLI rarely has issues.

Go right on ahead, because I don't even Linus would trust the Linus that you trust (whoever the Linus you trust might be)

i 'd still trust them on that cause they're doing it for living ,you guys .........i don't think so ,no not on this one

son it's not even 4/20 yet, did you light up already?

One fan to cool 450ish watts of power? Yea... ok 

 

I've seen a livestreamers 690 hit 90c while playing BF4

I agree with you that running a 690 is a better option than running two 680s in terms of total heat output and power consumption.  What people are not agreeing with you on is claims that running two 680s in SLI is some how less stable than a 690. As they behave the same in game.  Say I have 2 680s and you are running a 690 and a game is released with poor SLI support we will both suffer and may have to turn off a GPU.  Think there was some miscommunication or understanding of posts here.

[DildorTheDecent]

I think I should get it then....?

If you want it get. I have two GTX 660s in SLi and i get a great performance boost. So i imagine two 780s will be better.

If someone was to watercool, I would say 690 all the way. But if you're doing air cooling, I personally don't like my GPU hitting 90c at 100% fan usage while playing BF4

i don't give a shit who agree and who doesn't ,me as well ,i gave my opinion based on my test ,what LINUS SAID ,and that's it

To add to that, two chips on one PCB is worse in every way possible aside from heat, power, and space.

I considered that too, but 300 posts and it seems he's been here a while.

Based on your test? I don't see a 690 in your rig... nor dual 680's

should probably just withdraw here, I don't think this is going to go anywhere.

as i said ,why don't they leave the GPUs Clock Speeds the same with the 680 as Two of em in a 690 ,because only running super large textures or turning a GPU off will Contain ,that's what i saw on my test Platform ,i promise some real Time Videos On this some time soon ,just not Now ,(kinda Busy)

Because i found that the 660Ti PE delivers the performance i need and runs cooler ,so i put the 690 and the 680s on a shell ,i don't buy Graphics cards to use them ,just for self pleasing , i have many of em ,as i said ,some Real videos on all of this some time later on

I had 2 660 tis and couldn't even keep 50fps in Titan fall

[DildorTheDecent]

OP pls get the 780s. As long as you vow to play at least 2560x1440p then we will all be happy. or 5760x1080p. whichever will do.

[Willson94]

@69ing Rainbow Dash Yeah you can SLI those cards I'd buy another of whatever model I already had so it looked good but that's obviously a personal thing

50fps with 2 660tis doesn't sound right at all... i did some googling apparently the game really sucks or at least did suck with SLI

 

@LawrenceBarnes2013 I look forward to your videos

5760

well titanfall is pretty hard on GPUs. At high settings all round i get 30-50FPS. The VRAM is over 1.7 to 1.8GB. Also i tested 2 way GTX 770 at 5760x1080p on titanfall all round high settings and got over 60-80FPS one was a EVGA SC w/ACX and the other was a palit card both had 2GBs of VRAM.

Yes, please. This is the guy who was claiming that his Geforce GTX 660 Ti was better than an R9 290x or something...he used to have a Call of Duty: Ghosts avatar, if that also helps you to recognize him.

And, yes, OP, it would be a good idea to SLI those 780s. If you need the extra performance boost at the resolution you're playing at, then go for it.

Yes, there is this post: "GTX 760 Caus it's better in evry way or even ,GTX 660 just don't go for AMD

http://us.msi.com/se...arison/vga.html"

In a thread asking which card to go for between an R9 270x and a GTX 760, he recommended a GTX 660 over a 270x, of which the latter is more powerful. Such blatant fanboyism. It's on this thread: http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/109637-gtx-760-or-r9-270x/

Now you're trolling.

Are you joking? We already explained it. Like I said, with the lower clocks speeds on a 690, it still hits 90c at 100% fan speed in some games. If they left them at stock clocks, it'd likely hit 95C and then start throttling. Not to mention anything above 80-85C is start to shorten the life span of your card. 

 

In lamens terms:

680's in SLI at stock clocks probably hit around 75-80c at stock fan curves. Totally fine for gaming usage, but not recommend for 24/7 usage. 

A single 690 is two downclocked 680's. If it wasn't downclocked, it would more than likely hit 95c and start throttling and be on the verge of shutting your PC down so it doesn't just kill itself. 

 

Ok, I'm done now. If I keep talking, I will end up saying something I regret and get in trouble for it.

 Also that was MEDIUM settings not high, I get 50-60 on ultra with 1 780

A single tougher GPU than a 780. Right. Because the 780 Ti or the Titan Black aren't colossal wastes of money comparatively at all. But then you just suggest a dual GPU anyway. Logic.

 

I've never had any problems with SLi anyhow. As long as both cards have the vram you need you should be good.

I CRACKED MYSELF

[Kamina]

what i meant was what you guys already know ,yes SLI delivers brutal Graphics power , but it's unstable unless using like giant 4K Monitors in surround , every one (including Linus) urge to dodge SLI when ever possible ,add to that you guys know that running Two GPUs off of the same PCB is better then two Graphics cards ,still I know that the 780 is top of the line and an amazing Choice ,and  it's a PNY

OP is running games at surround...
