2 780 ti at 2560x1440

[esi225]

Hey, so I'm building my new PC and I bought a 780 ti, I've got 2x 27" 2560x1440 Dell U2713HM's and a 55" Panasonic Plasma as my third display.

So my question is, because I do a ton of gaming from MMO's (WoW, EVE, ESO when it comes out and Wildstar) as well as shooters like BF4, Crysis and a few others, I was curious if getting the second 780 ti would be worth it for consistent 60 FPS gaming.

What are your thoughts?

No a single 780ti can handle the 1440p and still get you above 60 fps. I highly doubt you need the extra 780ti.

 

[wortwortwort]

Well what type of framerates are you getting right now? That's what affects whether it's worth it.

 

[TheMohammadmo]

That is also true what wort said but you can just imagine the 780ti gettin like 100fps or something

I haven't tested it yet because I'm still waiting on my CPU to arrive, from what I've heard though the standard for a single GTX 780 ti EVGA superclocked is around 50-55 fps on Ultra for the games I listed. The problem with me is I'm really finicky about loss of frame rate, so even like a 5fps difference is really noticeable to me and it irritates me beyond reason. This is the main reason I ask if it would be better to get a second card.

I don't think spending $700+ is worth the 5 FPS you will save. I'm willing to bet you won't even notice the difference.

If you want a lot of fps, go for the second 780ti. It will give you more fps like I said, more power, and better gaming performance.

I definitely wouldn't buy another one until you at least see how well your rig works first. I'd suggest you play a bit and see if you can notice any "low" framerates. If you think you do, turn on FRAPS to make sure you aren't imagining things. If you can't notice that the framerates are below 60 FPS, don't even bother running FRAPS.

 

[TheMohammadmo]

Yeah was gonna say what wort. Siad, make sure your thing is first of all working, are you getting lower then 60 fps, check with fraps, and if not, you dont need the extra 780ti.

Thanks for all the replies, it helped a lot. I am going to take that advice and wait and see, I have heard a lot of good things about the 780 ti EVGA's performance so I am hopeful. Luckily though, I've seen a 560 ti run ESO and BF4 pretty well, but I'll just have to wait and see.

 

[TheMohammadmo]

Yeah ok. So stick with a single 780ti. Please give ba so if someone else comes to this thread thy will know
