Posted September 17, 2014 i will be selling my laptop soon to buy a new gpu. i was wondering if i should get a second gtx 780, since i already have one, or just make the 500 extra investment and get the 295x2.

Posted September 17, 2014 Since you already have a gtx 780 get another 780. Computing enthusiast.

Posted September 17, 2014 You might be able to fetch some good coin for that GTX 780 but then again you would still need to spend more on the 295x2 which will only net you a bit more performance for a significant amount of money.

Posted September 17, 2014 I would sell you current 780, if you can get a good price for it, and buy a 295x2. I would do that if you're on 4K. If not, I would keep the single 780 and save the laptop money. Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Either way, once it's released, the 780 price will drop anyway so you got nothing to lose if you wait a bit (I believe you are not encountering problems playing any game at 1080p so no need to rush).

Posted September 17, 2014 i forgot to mention, resolution is 4k sell 780, get the 295x2. I might be just a fanboy though. However, if I do a bit of maths, you currently have a 500$ 780 and look at two options : 1- Buy another 780 for 500$ 2- Sell the 780 for around, say 400$ and buy a 295x2 for 1000$ Option 1 costs 500$ Option 2 costs 600$ and yields "much" better performance Go with option 2 Spoiler Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
