SLI improvements at 1440p ?

I currently have a FA2 Geforce GTX 770 EX OC 2048MB https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-045-KF

Really happy with it and seem to max out most games ok. Not an FPS freak though so I may well be putting up with lower framerates some wouldnt accept.

Been considering SLI as I have a nice 1440p screen which obviously adds a bit of strain on.

What kind of performance increase do people normally expect to see, I see on the review that the reviewer claimed double, but that sounds highly unlikely to me.

IIntel Core i7 950 3.06GHz (overclocked to 3.8) (Bloomfield) (Socket LGA1366)
Asus P6X58D-E Intel X58 (Socket 1366) DDR3 Motherboard
OCZ ModXStream Pro 600w Silent SLI Certified Modular Power Supply

Would that PSU be enough for two cards? Currently have an SSD and 2 Sata drives in there as well

Ah thats interesting to know, and annoying as my gtx 770 is the most expensive card Ive bought and only has 2gb.

BF4 definitely one I play as well.
 
To be honest not had the 770gtx that long so if I need to upgrade or replace will have to get a decent return on it in Ebay first.

Ill stick to Nvidia simply because I always have, and I fear change :)
 
Game is barely playable if you had the most powerful system in the world sadly.

One reason not to make any judgements on what cards are good for it until they sort the mess out.

I was running at Ultra with AA down quite low and it was ok most of the time, the Resort map with the hotel always ran bad though, but it still did when I went down to high as well.

Im considering trading my card for a 4gb version, but if I ebay my current one thats still going to cost me £100 to do, just to get another 770 gtx but with 4gb.

Haha, replaced it with an OC card. Always buy from OC but the alternate site has guaranteed next day.

If you plan to add a 2nd 4gb 770 yes. If you play to stick with one i wouldn't bother, you won't have the grunt required to saturate 2gb or more of vram.

I think if I was going to upgrade Id stick with one card, but if one card couldnt use the 4gb then theres not a lot of point really.

Think I may well just see how BF4 pans out in the next couple of weeks and try running on ultra with a few settings turned down and see how I get on.

How can I tell how much vRam the card is using at any one time?
