1440p Setup

[Darr2cool78]

For 1440p should I get either

1 x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-051-KF&groupid=701&catid=1914&subcat=1341


or


SLI 2 x http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-208-MS (4GB editions)

thanks

also if anyone could give me a performance estimate ratio between the 2 that would be greatly appreciated

Out of those two cards id go with the 780. It has an extra gb of vram, a wider memory bus so will last longer at highest resolutions like 1440p. A 780 is about 18% faster than a 7979 ghz edition at 1440p so a 770 will be about the same, maybe a tad slower.

EDIT

Just realised you meant 770 SLI.

Not sure about the performance difference, but out of those options id go with the 780 for the reasons listed above. You can always add a second one at a later date if you want more performance, plus you have the extra 1gb of vram so you will never run into issues with lack of vram further down the line.

No problem mate, although the 770 I linked is the 4GB edition so technically would it not have more vram than the 780?

Thanks for all the info guys seems like 2 770s is the better choice then!
