    2 Evga GTX 680's 4 gig
    I am glad that instead of buying a new card, I just bought a
    second one like the one I had, and because it was used, I got
    a good deal on it. My 2 evga GTX 680's have (4 gigs) have
    beaten titans in firestrike benchmarks.

    So do you have 4gb 680s? Or 2gb 680s?

    If you read his post you will see that he says it's a 4gb version. ;)

    Yep, that's why I asked, it reads like he has 2gb versions and thinks that with SLI he now has 4gb. Common mistake.

    The same thing happens with Dual Channel memory kits some times.

    Hey, if they are 4 gig models I do not blame you for sticking with the 680's.

    Grats on your purchase.

    Now if you have 2 2gig models you do not have 4gig...it's mirrored, aka it loads up the same data in both cards.

    It will load faster yes, but you still only have 2 gig to soak up.

    It's a shame nobody has found a way around this yet. I suspect it would boost the efficiency of a secondary card substantially if the framebuffers could be linked.

    Ive found my single Gtx 580 to be more then enough to max pretty much every game I play, so you guys with 2x gtx 680 are lucky as hell! Ive been thinking about picking up a 780ti to replace my old 580. How much faster would you guys say the 780ti is over the 580?Twice as fast or no?

    Thank you.

    Usually a 780ti is around 40%(or so) faster than a 680. Now vs 580 I don't know.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they have worked this out, but wont release it as its better to sell new cards.

    I have 2 680GTXs (4GB) FTW models and they are great for what I need. My first time ever going SLI a few weeks ago and it is amazing. I have full PCIe x16 on both cards.

    Sure wish that my 680s had been the 4gb versions... struggled almost from the start with the 2gb framebuffer.

    I switched from 580 to 780ti. I cannot say if it is twice faster or not but performance jump is huuuuuge.
