780sli vs 690 sli?

[ivancv15]

So i have an oportunity to get my hans on 2 gtx 690's. I am currently running 2 780s and my question is, should i sell my 780s to get the 690s?
The owner is asking for 1000 for both, he bought 2 titan z and well hes trying to sell his old cards. They both are still under warranty until late 2015.

A single 780 is as powerfull as a 690, so i dont think its worth to buy those 690's.

Edit: Sorry i though wrong, 690 its 15% more or less better in gaming, but 780 beats a 690 in computing. And dont forget that 2 690 will use more power.
Its up t you if you reallt want that 10-20% increase in gaming.
And 1 thing, are those gtx 780 or gtx 780 sli?

Umm... Did you really just say a GTX 780 is as powerful as SLI 770s?

I wouldn't do it, they are dual GPU cards so running them in SLI (also known as quad SLI) is basically the same as having 4 GPUs. SLI doesn't really scale that well with 4 GPUs, and the RAM on the GTX 690s is also going to be a problem, they could even perform worse than two GTX 780s.

I second this. The price/performance ratio for the 690s is also horrible. Also HAHA @ That owner buying 2 Titan Zs

690 is not a 770 in sli, its 680 if im not wrong, and 770 its quite better than 680
And i already edited, im sorry for my mistake.

The 770 is a rebranded 680

Yes it is, with 10-20% more performance so you cant say that 680 sli = 770 sli

Since when a sintetic benchmark score means anything? Op what resolution are you playing by the way?
And when gtx880 come out it will be very expensive.

There isn't a 10-20% performance boost. More like 2-3fps difference in games

When i say 10-20% performance its not only about performance, computing and its overall a better card. And in some games its 10-20% better.

I don't understand how the same card can be better than the same card with a minuscule overclock but... Well whatever

I guess ill keep my 780s and just ad a water block and oc them. Thanks alot, i usually come ask when i cant make up my mind. Anyway i guess ill just use my money on a pg278q later this year.

It can be the same chip, but the 770 its newer and has some changes.
But ok lets stop this argument this doesnt answer the OP's question.
OP IMO i would stay with 780 sli, as someone said above, that proce for the 690 its too high and you wouldnt see really a HUGE performance boost.
