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