Titan black vs 780 6gb sli?

[VeNoMzZxHD]

So I'm planning a new devil's canyon build and plan to game at 3440x1440 (21:9) or even 4k, but I'm undecided on the GPU(s). Should I get one Titan Black or 2 EVGA gtx 780 6gb in SLI.

Note: I will be liquid cooling the card(s) so I'm also planning to over clock.

[Excon]

Neither. Those cards cant make use of that much VRAM.

[Jogostar]

two 780 6gb would be my choice.

[MogIsWinning]

If 4k gaming then you should be gettings r9 290x's since water cooling fixes the main problem.

780 SLI CANNOT USE 6GB OF VRAM WITH PLAYABLE FRAMERATES

 

(literally using over 3gb will result in sub 40-50 fps)

I'd reccommend you go with the Titan black , since it's fully unlocked & can have its own advantages in 3d rendering & slightly better gaming  experience , (SLI have to wait when newer games get released) .

I'm gonna say get comfy, because it's going to be a lot.

emergurd double the vram, must mean double the performance!!!

You can get playable frames in like bf4 in 4k while you go just over 3gb vram.

4gb gtx 780 would be perfect.

If those results are from a titan, maybe. But I believe BF4 has a VRAM Cache of some sort, that makes it look like you're using more VRAM than you actually are.

 

Some testing done by digital storm in Crysis 3 proved a 780 TI used 3gb of vram in 4k, while a titan was using 3.6gb and both had similar framerates.  

Last I checked Crysis 3 has WAY more texture and detail than BF4.

 

 

 

Here's BF4 vram numbers from guru3d

 

 

 

 

 

(I'm not trying to argue, just trying to fix this assumption that more vram is better, when it's so irrelevant)

Post something on your profile you can just copy and paste into threads. lel

I'd prefer 2 3gb 780.

[Silent_Xaxal]

Get the 290X. If you watercool, you'll definitely see an improvement on the performance. Just get the reference card if you plan to watercool.

[Analog]

I would by two or three R9 290s, since they are cheaper than the 290X and perform very similarly, especially when overclocked.

this one will help you decide

Lays...am I right in saying then that it'll be the 900 series of cards or later before we see 120/144hz 1440p or even 4k monitors usable?! Seems like the gpu's are lagging behind the screen tech at the moment...
