780 lightning + £400????????!

[Nickolp1974]

Already have a 780 lightning and not sure whether to go sli and buy another or sell and get a 780ti classy??

My main uses are

3d mark 11
Vantage
Firestrike
And BF4!

The memory's not great on my ltg so it gets let down in the bench dept. core i can get to 1410-1430 depending on the benchmark.
In buying another i may get a bit luckier with the card or shall i just go for the classy??
For bf4 i'd like to average 120fps+

Thoughts??

Looking at the benches listed you would be better off with a 290X or two.

There are some nice non ref ones on the way, the only problem is from what I have seen from the reviews so far they are poor overclockers compared to the ref 290Xs.

Classy mate

The 290's are not great in all the benches, although decent in the one's you've listed. I'd sell up and start a fresh with the 780ti Classy if I was in your position.

I'm definitely leaning towards the classy tbh, just need to get my evbot fixed somehow so i could give it some juice

Not even tried my EVBot yet. The Classified voltage tool works spot on.

Is that for upto 1.4v??

 

[Geeman1979]

1.35v from what I can remember. I'm on air so don't push past 1.3v

My lightnings had 1.5v and didn't bat an eyelid and temps were still way lower than air @1.35v

So they should be water cooled

Even got the blocks for both of mine but still can't be arsed getting them wet.

Sli 780's. Your bf4 averages on the latest beta drivers will be up around 160fps.

As above.

Classy Nick and make it a Ti. Sell the Lightning to fund it. You know you want to be top of the leaderboards and that is an easy way of doing it

when you tell em your in the top 10 for benching, you do say for PC gfx cards and not 100KG+ benchpress, or does your physique give that away???

Probably used LN2 on them to stop them running away.
