GTX 690's in SLI or Titan??

[eeccrraaiigg]

Okay I got 2 GTX 690's and an original Titan 6Gb for free, which of these would be the better setup (I'm guessing the 690's but idk). I am going to be using it to build my girlfriend a pc that can run PUBG (she recently moved in, never had played on a pc before, now she's addicted to PUBG lmao). So do you guys think either of these GPU setups would run PUBG and current games? Thanks, Cheers! 

PS: The GPU's I got from two complete systems given to me for free, so on top of the GPU's I got a 4930k, a 3930k, 32Gb (8x4gb sticks) of Corsair Dom's, 32Gb (4x8gb sticks) of Corsair Vengeance, two AX1200i PSU's, a 1TB Samsung 840 Pro SSD, a 240Gb Corsair SSD, 2 2TB HDD's, a Corsair Case and a Lian Li case (both cases are in pretty crappy shape). But hell yeah i thought it was a great find for free!!!!

You are super lucky with that l, i envy you

the 2 690s are basically 4 GPUs in SLI... 

 

and then the original is a single card. 

 

with that put into consideration, look for the benchmarks and decide yourself.

Thats probably more than 2000$ of used hardware right there

[rip]

pubg is still in beta is horrible, i have heard people not able to run sli with it and get bad frame rates

go for titan, even single 690 would perform like a single 680/670

Pubg doesn't benefit at all from SLI yet.

Yeah I mean I had the 4930k system up and running yesterday with the 690's in and man it wouldn't run PUBG well at all, even at very low setting it would stutter, something has to be wrong here right?? I mean the 690's default setting it put on was High but totally unplayable at that, could the SLI actually be hindering it because the 690's are dual GPU's???

YES! That's what i was really wondering, like the 690's are dual GPU's already and then in SLI its 4 GPU's so maybe thats my problem @HZapperz??

Not nessecarily, but remember each 690 is 2 680s in SLI, and for a game that doesn't benefit from SLI like PUBG, it's only using one of the four 680s that you have. And since the game is so badly optimized, i guess the 680 can't keep up.

Since the 690 is one component it might work maybe? If it doesn't I'm sure the titan will at least get you playing at low settings.

It wouldn't work any better than if the GPUs were on their own PCBs. The only benefit to a dual GPU PCB is a bridge isn't needed for SLI. It will still be prone to the same drawbacks as regular SLI.

[shadowbyte]

it depends on what you're playing

an og titan is essentially a 780 with more vram+floating point stuffs, so in games that can only leverage one GPU, the titan will be much faster

[Thermosman]

In fact thats over 3000$ in hardware! 3000$ dollars. Thats more than my life is worth lmao

[Mick Naughty]

Depends on the game and vram needs. Id stick to the titan. Used mine forever, even went to a single card as the cpu I have is trash. 690 would be good for old games though. If you wonna sell one let me know.

[Vroooom]

Quad SLI? Do the dual 690s just for the uniqueness factor. Pretend you're in the past and have the most baller setup possible

Dude just the AX1200i's alone is over $600 man, you wouldn't believe my face when I got the systems home and checked what was in them!! See I work at a computer repair shop and this computer is what I did for a guy and after he had paid he asked me"hey i have some other computer hardware im getting rid of just sitting in my basement wanna come to my house and pick it up?" and I of course said "HELL YEAH"

And here is the Hardware I got:
PS: Before I cleaned them totally up!

Can you believe this was just sitting in this dudes basement collecting dust and whatnot?! And then I get some of the drives up and there was stuff installed in August so they were in use 2 months ago?! I was wondering to myself how could they get so dusty and disgusting so quickly or he just didn't take care of his stuff at all lol, his Windows username was Big Daddy too lmao
