60 quad sli vs 780 ti tri sli

[maviis]

hi, need your opinion on this. i have 3 dell u3014, and im currently thinking about having 3 gtx 780 ti or 2 690 on quad sli. i just want to know which is better so i can pull the trigger. by better i mean would offer more performance for my buck

I would go with the 780Ti and start with 2!

What are you trying to do with them so we can tell you. It differs depending on what you are doing. Gaming, number crunching, wasting electricity

2 780 Ti's should be plenty and shouldn't waste tons of electricity but if you want you can take it to 3. I would hope you have a good cooling plan in place being how much space 3 cards will take up and smothering air flow across them isn't so good. I have seen my top card be 20C over the lower one with the more limited airflow of air over them instead of water cooling.

Thank you very much. sli 780 ti is i believe the way to go. this would be a very good build
