Hello again, I know I have made a couple of threads on the graphics cards section however I have been thinking of many options and now I have just thought about buying 2x 760 in sli. I know this will be better but is there a lot of known issues with sli? The VRAM is also something which puts me off it as it's only 2gb. I only game at 1080p and I will be keeping my monitor for another 2-3 years. What will you guys recommend. I will not meantion the name but I have found some referance 760's for £170 and the asus dcu2 for £190. But I would rather buy from ocuk due to the watercooling allowances with MSi.

Thanks in advance :)
 
I recently switched from sli 670's which are a bit faster than 760's to a single 780. Max fps are down a bit but min/ave fps are similar. Also in not getting close to maxing out vram anymore.
 
that is one of the things im worried about, the vram but i have heard many people say 2gb is more than enough for 1080p gaming, also on many benchmarks the 760sli have been beating the 780ti
 
2GB VRAM is plenty for 1080p gaming - you will not run out any time soon. You only need to worry about it if you are planning to move to a higher res in the near future.

As for the performance, I'd say stick with the 760 SLI set up over the 780 as the performance is likely better.
 
I'd always take a high end GPU over a couple of mid range cards. In this case it's less noise, less driver/game issues, less heat and more VRAM.

At 1080P a 780 is going to run most things at a perfectly acceptable framerate for a good while yet. When it starts to struggle just pop another one in for peanuts because graphics cards depreciate like a stock market crash!

I think I have to agree with this, perfectly put. Thanks :)
