Battlefield 1 gpu requirement

[shamsmu]

Hi, my current system is a bit outdated.
I am running a 4k screen which my gtx 780 ti struggles to run.
I am waiting for the release of gtx 1080 ti so I could get a gtx 1080 for cheaper than $900

My question is will getting a second gtx 780 ti improve my framerates? I have found a cheap one on craigslist for $200. Will SLi make a noticeable difference until I can afford a proper 4k gaming GPU?

Thanks in advance.

Asus z77 V pro 4.4ghz with Noctua NHD14
16Gb 1666mhz ram
gtx 780 ti
Corsair tx850
Samsung 500gb Evo ssd

The 780 is an older card and if one GPU is struggling to run a 4k screen, a second gpu of the same type won't help too much.
This 1080 is only about $650 though if you are interested http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?item=N82E16814487244
The prices after the 1080 ti release shouldn't drop by that much anyway.

thank you for the response. That still comes down to $950 AUD after postage to Australia. I should have mentioned I was from Australia. So what you are saying is second gpu will be a waste of $200AUD? Maybe I'll have to settle for a lower resolution until March next year then.

Oh. Yes that makes sense. Yah, I wouldn't spend the extra money on a cheaper GPU. Just wait a little and upgrade is my advice. You could also lower the resolution on your monitor a bit if you want better performance to like 2k or 1080p until you get a better card.

youre best off selling your 780 ti and getting a gtx 1080.
sli will always have issues.

How about a gtx 1070? From most review, its within 20% of a gtx 1080. Will that give me more bang for bucks? I could buy one right away if I wanted to

The 1070 is a great card. I am getting one for myself very soon. It is also a lot more "bang for your buck" than the 1080. If you can, I suggest getting the
EVGA SC or FTW version. Or, just the regular EVGA 1070.

the cheapest one for me is Asus dual OC version. EVGA FTW is about $60 more expensive. Also the Asus rog strix OC is same price as EVGA FTW. Which one should I go for you think?

If you are doing overclocking, get the EVGA card. If not, the Asus card is great too.
