Hello All,

Ram - 16GB Corsair Vengence Ram
OS HD - 120 Corsair SSD
Storage / Game DIR - 2 x 3TB WD HHD

Coolage - Corsair H100 Water Cooled

Game Pad - Razer Sabertooth Elite
Mouse mat - Razer Goliathus Extended Speed

Now My Friend Has a system that is not as high end as mine but he has a GTX 780TI.

We was playing battlefield 4 last night and where I was just reaching 60FPS he was hitting 130+.

Now he was running at 1080p to where I was at 1440. but it made me think, did I make a poor choice in going for 2 x 4gb GTX680s instead of 1 higher end GPU.

Would I be wise for me to get a single new GPU and sell my current ones?

Cheers In Advance.

Well first things first, run Battlefield in 1080P and see how it performs.

Two 4GB 680's are not to be sniffed at and I imagine they would outperform a 780TI in games which scale well.

So you think that I didn't make a mistake by going for the 2 GTX680s ?

Ofc I expect it to run a lot better at lower resolution. But just wondering on the possibilities of a bigger single card are more suited as I'm not sure how well games are optimised for SLI.

 

[Kuuwahi]

If I'm completely honest I'm not sure if my system is running at optimal performance.

I do have ALL settings on BF4 on ultra and get around 60FPS average.

What to you mean by GPU configuration?

Just gave him a call, Hes not running at 1080p hes running at some weird 4:3 resolution because he has a medieval monitor...

Yes they do look much much better than one haha.

Its just a shame I dont have a desk / case... Maybe one day I shall build one.
