What should I go with

[Emil Matthias Pedersen]

Hey guys.

I'm planing to do a upgrade to my PC. But I can't decide what to do. I can buy 2 gtx 760 or 1 780?

Im not sure what's best. Don't evaluate the price but only the performance

Thanks

If you have a 760 already get another one

Get the 780 if you don't have a 760

A single GPU solution is the best option in this case, it's less noisy, uses less power and it won't have any scaling issues at all where the SLI 760 configuration does.

I allready have 1 760. But I have to buy a New motherboard if I want to go with the sli sulution. The price of 1 gtx 760 and a sli motherboard will be the same cost as if I just buy 1 780

Sell 760 somewhere, ebay/craigslist or something, buy the 780. Even if you wouldn't resell the 760 or already had an SLI certified mobo, buy the 780.

Normally people debate either buying another graphics card for XF/SLI or a new single gpu solution one tier up (760 -> 770). With the 780 it's almost a no-brainer. If you have the option to jump up from an X60 to an X80, regarding NVidia, it's almost always worth it. I'm not saying the 780 is more cost-efficient, moreso the fact that you can afford the better product will affect which you purchase more than price alone. It also really helps to have that extra GDDR5 if you take long-term value into consideration.

 

Btw, the "no-brainer" part wasn't saying people should agree/will agree, it's just the more obvious choice in many cases in my opinion.
