i7 4770k enough for SLI titans?

t103Ninja · 3 Sep 2013 at 23:35

like the title says just wondering if the 4770k will be enough for dual SLI titans without any bottleneck i mean

You're system will always have bottlenecks, even with a mega CPU you'll just move it to the memory. I'm assuming you want gaming performance? If so don't waste money on the i7, get the i5 instead. It'll be plenty quick and as fast as the i7 for games.

yeah i know the i5 is great but ill be doing video capture and editing aswell

Go for some 780 Lightnings instead!

if you had the money would you get titans? i know i would!!!

ooooo yes, if you have the cash to do it.

the CPU will be a nice chip, i would get some VERY fast ram.
and a MMOOOOOOsive PSU

the second quistion you need to ask your self if can you motherboard take it?
is this parts to go into an system you have or one your making

i havnt bought the parts yet so things can be swapped out if i need to the current mobo that i wanna get is MSI g65 gaming

what kind of ram should i get to best compliment the CPU and the dual titans? i mean in terms of clock speed

Im of the opinion that 2133Mhz or greater is wonderful combined with these haswell chips.

t103Ninja · 5 Sep 2013 at 01:12

i always worry about buying ram faster than 1600mhz because on the intel site the 4770k only says its rated for 1600mhz and motherboards usualy say only up to 1600mhz im just scared id get 2133mhz or faster and it wouldnt work lol

I'm pretty sure for SLI an I7 would yield better results

Search for TTL's 'Titan SLI vs 780 SLI reveiw'.. He say that SLI 780 is better than SLI titans, cheaper too.

SLi Titans are a waste of money

ive watched and read a lot of reviews and thats the only one ive seen that says 780's will outdo titans... 780's are still an option so are 770's

This is another good review: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2013/08/06/nvidia_geforce_gtx_780_sli_video_card_review/10

As reaper pointed out though, for the price of 2 TITANS you can gwt 3 780 (which will outperform 2 TITANS easily) or 4 GTX 770's...

Im not sure what 3 x 780 vs 4 x 770 is like but i bet its pretty close.

The epeen is strong in you.

That would in my eyes, just be throwing money away for the sake of having 4 Titans in a rig, you can gain better/similar performance whilst being more sensible with the hardware.
