EVGA Replacement: GTX690 or GTX780Ti

you're bang on but there are folks that believe in the buffer ghost making for ex. bf4 on a 1gb card smooth as butter, now it's possible yes, the point is though it ain't optimal.
to note watch dogs with latest patch and most modern drivers runs smoothest ever, I got no bottleneck in sight personally, kinda slow ram but whatever.
will gta5 cross the 4gb, perhaps with higher than 1080 res and aa, who knows ..

 

If it was 2gb 680's then yes but 4gb oh god, no.

 

Who said bf4 will run smooth as butter on a 1gb card?

 

I mean honestly I probably have a worse experience then normal people due to my setup.

Like currently have a 120hz monitor in the middle and two 60's flanking, but one is on my 750Ti. Above I have a 60hz Samsung TV. So any time I alt tab or open a full screen game everything flickers and goes crazy for a bit. I need to disable the 750Ti to disable SLI mode on my 690 which is also a pain because the Oculus Rift DK2 doesn't work on the 690's extra DVI slot with SLI enabled.

Idk there are just a bunch of really weird case issues I run into. Hopefully Microsoft/Nvidia/AMD will work on fixing some of them. I have a feeling a lot of it has to do with the way Microsoft handles multiple GPU's and monitors.

 

I didnt have any problems running Battlefield 4 on a Gtx 580 which is only 1.5 gb, real close to maxing the graphics options and yes it did run really smooth.I just bought that game to test it out,iam not a fan to be honest. Thats on a 1920x1080 Monitor pesent style ya know? I think 2gb schould be good for a couple more years easy.

 

Hey Everyone,

Just got word from EVGA and they're shipping out the 780Ti today.

Thanks for all the help!

Me. I ran it just perfectly fine on a 560ti 1gb and 560ti 448 1.25gb 1080p all high settings 2xAA. Run smooth. No issues at all.


IMHO Id get the Ti. When I had 2x 7850 2gb I didnt have stuttering problems. But I was reaching my vram limit in games while running eyefinity 4464x1024 res. Even just a single 7950 3gb has made a difference there.

 

Single card over SLI any day.

 

Grats, have fun with the new powerhouse

 

:wanker:

Like you would know. I have gamed on 2 GTX 660Ti's for the last two years with no hitching and the only problem was with a synthetic benchmark known as 3D Mark and that turned out to be Futuremark's fault.

By the looks of your system wouldn't even know, so why comment on something you obviously don't have any knowledge of??? What>??? You read a few bad threads on it or what? Cause the majority don't have problems with SLI. I use to be the Faster Single Card guy too. Then I SLI'ed. Cheaper, faster, the end.
