SLI Scaling: Can Three GeForce GTX 760s Beat Two 780s?

[anthony8989]

Just buy a 780 ffs.And how can you have over 120 fps at 1920x1080? I can only get 60

Is your V-Sync on?

Vsync is on, should I turn it off?

That depends. Without V-sync, you'll have tearing, but have lower latency. Both are advantages, both settings have disadvantages, until G-sync becomes available to you.

ha yeah time will come and hopefully will get a decent monitor. correct me if I'm wrong: everybody tells me I can't get over 60 fps because my monitor is 60hz, is that true? can I still break the 60fps barrier?

Excellent write up and I personally can vouch for the validity of the 780's in SLI. They are unbeatable force and can even power Battlefield 4 on Ultra setting while taking full benefit of my 144 Hz monitor.

FPS are how many frames the GPU creates. Your refresh rate does not change that. However, your monitors refresh rate tells you how many times the images on the screen update. If you have more FPS than your refresh rate, the monitor refreshes may contain more than one frame blended together, with a tear between them.

exactly what happened when I disabled Vsync So you are forced to have Vsync on and restricting your GPU because your GPU can pull more data than your monitor, that sucks a bit. but many people say there is no difference above 60 fps so do you think its worth spending like 300 quid on a monitor?

One thing in the article that i usually observe. The price of getting dual video cards doesn't really work well against the price of a single better video card. I've seen that for years now, even though i've bought motherboards for the possible addition of a 2nd video card.
Would be nice if they did an article for that. Dual cards that are cheaper and faster than a single newer video card. Wonder what the results would be?

yes it could beat .... but ... you should buy a 2 gtx 780 for SLI that would be ultimate
