GTX 660 ti SLI vs TITAN vs 780 (1080p)

Go to solution Solved by Jamdude,

I would go with the 780.  I don't like SLI or Crossfire because of the problems they have and the Titan is too expensive for the performance you get compared to the 780.

 

Put a poll up for this thread.

I prefer gtx 660 ti (msi power edition) in sli (best price / value). Because I don't need 6gb of memory for 1080p. And the gtx 780 is an other option but i don't know what better...

 

so

 

What you recommend me to play at 1080p?

Do you already have 1 660Ti PE? I don't think you need a 780 to play at 1080p, 770 makes more sense - or 7950/70.

I think GTX 6XX only able to have 2GB of VRAM (some with 4GB f VRAM but there have been some problems with it I think) and games are starting to use more than 2GB of VRAM so really you do need a GTX 7XX with 3GB of VRAM at least.

The price/performance for the 780 is similar to that of the 660Ti, given it is well over double the performance of it and costs about twice as much.

I personally think SLI is fine.  Minor variances and little hiccups are barely noticeable, and I've been an SLI guy since the 285 gtx series.

 

SLI scaling is great.

 

Going into Crossfire or maybe TRI or Quad SLI... yes be concerned with 'problems'.

 

Games that need SLI like Crysis or Metro seem to scale extremely well w/ two video cards.

 

760 or 660 ti SLI for 1080p sounds great.

I'd still much rather have a single GPU than SLI or Crossfire.

However, you have an avatar showing a crossfire configuration...

Yes because that's my computer, I thought Crossfire would be good and now I'm not a big fan of it.  I'll be upgrading near the end of the year to a single GPU configuration.

We all would but they just dont make a single GPU that's good enough.

I see, Single 780 is my choice for now. Thank for your feedback !

Like I said... two Nvidia cards?  You'll be fine for the most part.

 

Crossfire.. SUCKS at the moment.

That said... a single 780 is awesome...

 

because you can SLI it later ^_^

A 780 would be a much better value than a Titan (in fact if you have a budget at all you should not be considering a Titan).  Dual 660Ti's would probably be close to a single 780 if not slower so you wouldn't really be saving much money or gaining much performance either way while also adding more frame time variance and power consumption (not to mention 1GB less VRAM)...
