Upgrade from x2 770s 2GB
- Thread starter Kiakri
- Start date
What is your budget?
What games are you playing?
What res?
Rest of spec?
780Ti's are great @ £250 currently, if you can get one do it, but the performance of the 770s will be close to a single 780Ti if not exceed it.
Personally I'd hold out until June, AMD/nVidia will release more details on their next cards.

Budget depends probs around £500
Games at the moment (Eve Online / Dota 2 / Arma 3 / Rainbow 6 Siege & Division when released
1920x1080 For now
Rest of specs.
CPU Intel i7 4790k 4.0Ghz
Motherboard Asus Maximivus VII Hero
Memory 16GB Vengence Corsair
Graphics Card x2 MSI GTX 770 2GB
PSU Corsair RM 1000w 80+ Gold FM ATX
When i was debating waiting until they release the 980TI with 8GB, Or wait until December? for the Pascal cards.
Reason I'm thinking of upgrading / Sidegrading is because i think one of the 770s is dieing on me but i can't be too certain
Running 3 Eve clients causes fps Lag, Which is rather strange :/

It could be a GPU bottleneck, but I don't know much about that game. You could run MSI AB and GPUz to monitor the GPU usage - if its hitting it's 2GB limit, you'll get stutter!! What about overclocking the CPU, that may help running 2 cards.
I would suggest a 780Ti until the new cards are released. If you can sell the 770's to make some additional cash up, GTX980? (I'd personally get a 780Ti and wait)

Waiting for the "Ti" version from NVIDIA would be a genuine upgrade and would likely be 6GB. 980 would be a bit of a sidegrade in terms of raw grunt two 770s can perform but you would find it more consistent overall without possible SLI issues.
It would be a bit of a shame getting a 980 or 780Ti (both are not really faster than 770 SLI) when we are pretty close (3 months max according to rumors) to new high end cards. The new cards will probably drop the 980 price a bit too.

It's possible as i don't think Eve runs to well with SLI haven't checked around.
With overclocking never been to confident with it but nothing a google could sort out.
I can buy the 980 out right so 780ti wouldn't be anything. Think the 780 might be a good idea possibly grab two if it's even worth it? Have they brought out the 6GB version yet?
@RanxZy The Ti Version for the 980?

The 780 6GB version was released but only for less than 6 months so they are very rare to find and overpriced. When I say "Ti" version it should basically be the next high end card NVIDIA release. I don't know for sure what they will call it.
This card should be almost as fast as a Titan X but significantly cheapr and have 6GB vram. Very similar to what the 780 was to the first Titan. This will be ideally more worth the money compared to the 980 because that is using the small Maxwell chip. It will be very similar to how the 680/770 was the small Kepler chip then after came "big Kepler" with the 780.
If you are not feeling patient to wait until the new cards then by all means get a 980. It still performs very well and will be much better in games that give you SLI issues. Could even get a EVGA one if you fancy and have the possibility of upgrading during 90 days if you register the card with them within 14 days of purchase.

Think i have my answer, Its bearable for now to be honest considering im not really playing VRAM intensive game currently, So probs just going to wait for the next ti which will prob be better money well spent.
