New GPU

[Flight1sim]

So I currently have a GTX 780 but i feel it's lacking power fr my 3 1080p monitors in most games.

So.

I am willing to spend up to $250 or so on a new GPU.

I was looking at maybe getting a 2nd 780 for around $150, (or maybe buy 2 for Triple SLI lel) but I know that wont help mcuh with the 3 monitor issue. (still more power tho :P) 

Or.

Maybe a Titan Black?  (ik, same performance as 780 but newer and has 2x the vram, so i'm okay with that) 

I can sell my 780 and get something new like a 980Ti or something.

 

What should I do?

Sell that 780 of yours and get a Gtx 1070. Will be better than a 980ti in a number of ways, especially given that you use a surround setup.

 

Do NOT go for SLI, though.

Hmm... let's see. You said you had 250$. And that you can get a 780 for 150$, so selling yours for the same price. That leads to 400$ total.

There, 400$. Or you could try squeezing 30$ in and getting the G1 version. Still that one above is already within budget.

oh huh cool. Holy crap 8Gb of vram.. (been out of the GPU world for a bit) 

I know i'll get hate for it but I kinda want an FE because it matches my pc's theme and stuff... I found one on Craigslist near me for $450  (maybe)

Also Ill sell my 780 to my friend so I can honestly charge more for him (im an awful friend)

i'd recommend against SLI if possible.

 

a 1060 which should -new- be very close to your budget would already be a notable improvement.

 

i doubt you'll be able to flip your 780 in the $160-200 range so a (edit) decent 1070 is probably out of reach.

ehhhhhhhhhhh........

I really enjoy using Nvidia surround and I just prefer Nvidia over AMD (bad experiences with AMD in the past)

if you're able to flip it (without doing a dick move to a friend) $200 would get you up in the decent range of GTX1070.

well.. TLDR: if you can get your hands on a 1070, 1070 is the way to go.
