GTX 780 6gb

[scu40]

could i put one 1080p and one ROG 1440p monitor on one GTX 780 6gb or one titan black since two 780 6gb cost the same

I would just get two normal 780's in sli or hell even one normal 780 which would run this fine

780 6GB is much better value than Titan black get 780 6GB.

I'm pretty sure that the 780 6GB is just another beefed VRAM card, meaning you'd need two for a large enough memory bus to utilize all of it. Otherwise, you'll max out at 3GB out of the 6GB.

 

Not sure if these are modified 780s or what I mentioned before, though. I ignored the announcements because those types of cards don't interest me. Even if it were a 780 that could use 6GB of GDDR5 alone, it probably wouldn't perform well at all when gaming at such high resolutions (7680x1440, 4k, etc).

 

 

One regular 780 could probably handle the 1440p monitor fine, not 100% sure if that extra 1080p panel would impact you at all since I doubt you'd be using NVidia Surround for multimonitor gaming on different resolution monitors (if it even works, I don't remember the limitations of NVidia Surround). You could go for a Titan Black but I don't think it'd be necessary. If anything, pick up an R9 290X or 780Ti instead of 780 6GB x2 or a Titan Black. It should be cheaper and definitely will handle that no problem. And yes, I do recommend a single card over any SLI/XF, like most people.

I you are going to get the 6gb model, its best ran in SLI and on higher resolution screens. getting two 780 6gb will give far better performance than a single titan black for the same price.

Since the price difference is so small, and it will be more and more common that games can use more than 3gb at 1440, there is no reason not to get the 6gb version over the 3gb version.

Its true that 3gb cards are fine, but its NOT true that it cant utilize more than 3gb ram, stop spreading false info around without doing research or just repeating same thing over and over again like a contagious ass-talking virus.

 

Therefore, if need more ram, go with dual 290s, its much cheaper. But if you have money to spend, go ahead and buy whatever and enjoy eye candy.

 

Ive done research, ive found benchmarks, and in the cases where even low end nvidia cads DO use more than 2gb. It is true however, that bigger bandwidth and mem frequency help, but that can be efortlessly overclocked. There is far more bottleneck if you run out of memory. I am not talking if your game uses all the ram and still runs ok, i am talking about those instances:

- Huge textures and lots of them on screen at once

- Lots of AA, postprocessing

- Higher res

 

And when those reach the limit of card vram capacities, you are defo going to get bottleneck.

GTX 780 6GB only make sense when you have at least 2 of them.

Is your brilliant explanation for that claim, that you obviously got from others and not reasearch and get facts, written in a white color because i cant seem to find it in your post.

Wow, harsh.

 

You're wrong about me being wrong, though. Once the GPU nearly caps out due to pixels on the monitor(s) alone, you're kind of screwed for performance in games. Kind of said it yourself..

I am wrong about you being wrong? No.

 

You are wrong, about me being wrong about you being wrong

 

You said it caps out at 3gb because bandwidth. This is not true. Its A lie. You picked up from other ass-talking prats who dont do research. I allready adressed that problem in my original post, but if you cant read, i can write it again and explain to you what stuff means and how it connects togheter. Since you obviously are pretty bad and connection stuff togheter or just connect 2 things that dont even connect

 

Yes i did say pixels do screw you if you are limited with vram. Thats not the only thing.

But i fail to see the connection here, could you explain to me what relevance does this have with you proving your theory about 780 capping out at 3gb?

Because that is not true and your explanation is not only issuficient but also have no connection to the original post and your reply.

 

My theory is, you are talking out of your ass trying to dig yourself out of your poo. But i am willing to listen to your brilliant explanation. Go ahead.

Wut?

[Manny Calavera]

Wut?

Is your explanation for your clain written in invisible color, because i cant find any for your claim. Could you exaplain to me now?

 

I am asking you because you can have only 1 for 1440p gaming, and it makes sence and definitly uses the extra ram, not only with more pixels but also if you want lots of big textures, anti aliasing and it DOES use the ram properly.

[xAcid9]

What i want to say is that by the time the card use that much of VRAM, the FPS you'll be getting is borderline playable or it's totally unplayable.

Hopping into this thread I just wonder about some things as I might swap my SLI GTX 780 3GB versions for the 6GB version but what are the benefits and what are the losses? I had contact with EVGA saying that as long as you don't even get near the 3GB usage the cards will be slower in general and less performing. What's up with that? At this time I just have a dual monitor setup where I use my 1080P as primary. Planning to change this as soon as 1440P or even 4K monitors become affordable. So I am sitting here in the dark, reading threads with no constructive answer. Help?

Dont plan so far ahead. Even 780 tis have trouble running 4k. Wait till the tech is more mature and use the money you saved towards a gtx880

[Face2Face]

The only game that I know of to use more than 3GB of vram @ 1440p is watchdogs with ultra textures..  Even modded Skyrim with every 4K and 2K texture mod there is @ 1440p doesn't use over 3GB.  I don't see the point with current gen games. That could change with future titles, but I don't really know.
