Rig upgrade

[Todd Major]

i have been facing a dilemma with my new 4k monitor although my 770 can run games fine at 1920p it doesn't run nearly as smooth as i would like at 4k and much hotter so i have the choice of buying another 770 and sli it or upgrade to a 780 ti what are your thought?

 

 

 

My rig 

evga gtx 770

i5 4670k 

asus sabertooth z87

evga 1000p2 power supply 

samsung 250gb ssd/wd 1tb blue

asus blue ray drive

 

 

 

 

 BTW if you are wondering about the stock inte cooler i do plain on water cooling it one day......

780ti would be better a better choice than SLI 770's.

Why do people buy 4k monitors? get a 780ti Even with the new cards I will won't say "wait for a 900 series card" 256bit on maxwell can't pull magic compared to 384bit at 7ghz.

Get a 780ti.

I personally would suggest going with a 780TI, not only would it be the more "future proof" option (opportunity to expand in the future), but the additional VRAM will help. You will also see a greater benefit in the future when you watercooling.

I did not plan on buying a 4k monitor when i originally built my pc. They were giving away free 250gb samsung ssd with the purchase of the monitor seemed like a good deal.

Get two 980's if you want to have a decent chance at running 4k with reasonable frames.

 

Also, that PSU is total overkill.

I'd SLI but look at benchmarks

[RevyOcelot]

You probably have 2GB of VRAM on your 770 which isn't going to be enough to run 4K even with SLI. The 780ti has 3GB VRAM but your best bet is to buy an AMD card with 4GB VRAM or wait for the 900 series with 4GB VRAM.

Linus uses two 780tis in this build but he does mention that more VRAM would have been preferable.

when are the 900 series supposed to come out ?
