Should I Get 2 760 or One 770?

[CoCoisConfused]

Or should I get one GTX 760 and then wait till I have enough money to get a 780?

[Samdb]

One 770.

[EYEfinity]

2 760s for looks (but heat, power consumption), 1 770 for 1080p monitor, save for 780 if 1440p monitor

[TheSLSAMG]

I would personally go for (and will go for) dual GTX 760 4GB. They outperform even a GTX Titan. Sure, there's more heat and microstuttering, but I don't mind, and I can't afford a 780.

[Gamebozzo]

i would wait until i have enough for a 780

Have you considered a single 7970 or 2 7950's?

What resolution are you using?

[JamesIsBatman]

Well what res?

[CoCoisConfused]

Have you considered a single 7970 or 2 7950's?

What resolution are you using?

2 Asus 24 inch monitors 1920 1080p

I would go dual 760 for performance and 770 for less power consumption and heat. If you have a good psu and good airflow in your case then go dual 760 but also remember that alot of stuff isn't optimized for sli. What will this build be for? Editing, gaming, both? Honestly I would probably go 780 but what is this for?

A single 7970/770 would already max out pretty much everything at 1080p.

Editing, Gaming, Streaming, Recording

Then I would probably go dual 760, though what psu do you have and what case?

[eoso]

One 770. Always go with a better single than two lessers.

[Godlygamer23]

Remember though if you go with two 760s, and a game you play doesn't like SLI, you'll be limited to a single 760, and a single 770 will beat it.

Case 300R PSU GS 600W motherboard Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

Case 300R PSU GS 600W motherboard Asus Sabertooth 990FX R2.0

If its 600w then I would be very skeptical that you could even run dual 760

[CoCoisConfused]

Yeah its going to be using 584ws I dont want to push my psu that hard

[Dr3nz4r]

get 2 760... they perform better then a 780. in 1440p they ofter perform nearly as good as a Titan, Mazbe get a new PSU aswell, and you are safe :D

Also most games today directly come with pretty good SLI profiles.. espacially optimized for the 600 and 700 series.

 

 

Sometimes they even beat the Titan

No so if you wanted to do dual you would also have to upgrade your psu and if you do that you might as well be paying for a 780 right there.

Yeah that's what I was thinking

[Dr3nz4r]

considering dual 760 are faster then a 780 and you wouldnt pay the fll price of a 780, i would get a new psu + 2 760's

[Emkryan]

one 780 now

[Focux]

That's my plan right here. 760 sli, so bang for buck. I have a Seasonic Platinum 1000W PSU =)

3-way 760 O.0 lol

[OneGun]

The 760 are OCed using Gpu boost set for 80c and lose more then half the benchmarks against stock 7950s..
