the way I see it as always nvidia cards in sli WILL hit a vram wall well before their time like my 580 sli.So it fairs well with Metro: LL, can I assume that a 780 Ti will be a single card solution, with no need for going dual GPU? Take into point 1080p will be my native resolution for the next year or so, when and if 1440p monitors drop in price, I may step up.
Reason I am asking I am still on the fence with a new Mobo purchase planning for dual GPU in another year, also do not want too much HP for 1080p that will be wasted. Judgeing by those benchmarks, 1080p on high settings is idea with the 780 Ti.

so I went 2x gtx 780 on the premise gtx 780 and 780 Ti will hit that wall at the same time, but 2 x 780 are $400.00 cheaper than 2 x 780Ti, numbers in benches are like looking at petty girls.
The 780 Ti is 15-20% faster than the 780 at 1080p, and going SLI would waste a lot of power at that resolution. The flip side of this is 3GB of vRAM may starve an SLI configuration if you do go 1440p anyway, so it may all be for naught. A single 780 for 1080p is a powerful setup at the moment.I see, and it's possible for my needs one GPU might be enough. I am not diving into 1440p yet.
I think most of us that buy these high end cards sell them when the next high end come out to recoop some of the cost.

What kind of load temps should I be seeing with my 780 Ti SC? Standard Titan blower is on it.
Well I bit the bullet. I ordered a Gigabyte ti oc edition. Coming from a 5870, and tired of waiting for the non ref 290s, I figured this would last me a long time. Playing at 2560x1080 if games support it.
I'm starting to think dropping a couple LTC into a 780 Ti Classified makes sense, go big or go home right?
A cherry i5 should have a cherry GPU to match, it makes sense on some demented level I assure you.
Radeons buying GeForce, impending world implosion.
Grats, should be a fairly substantial upgrade for you.
Quite pointless until Maxwell. I'm in the same quandary, but I don't even have the mobo slots for a 780 now so...... I guess no G-sync for me.
Are you gaming on them, or mining?
I was going to put my 7950s in a cool room for the winter and allow the 600 watt space heater to earn cash while it heats rooms.
And yeah, my hesitation is that I would like to go G-Sync with 20nm. No matter how fast top end cards are on this node they'll be slower than 20nm chips which could be out in 6~ months. Of course 20nm is shaping up to be a real grabage node in it's own right, so perhaps it hit will be less than Fermi -> Kepler was, but then again Maxwell is a new uarch.
It's a free nvidia GPU courtesy of AMD mining, so why not!? I should take this approach to LTC mining on an out of sight AMD GPU rig to fund all upgrades for my main 2 rigs.
Anyway...the 780ti is truly a beast when overclocked, considering it surpasses the GTX 690. I'd say that is easily faster than 2x 7950s for gaming, isn't it? I could be mistaken, however. I don't find any problem with him buying a GPU of that caliber especially when it's essentially free.

It really only needs to be faster than one 7950, the last time I used CF was the BF4 beta, before that Crysis 3... To many issues for me to personally deal with it daily.
Heck I just spent the last week having a mental breakdown trying to get both cards going in LTC. I had to revert back to Windows 7 and 13.6 Beta 2... Blue screens, 99% usage on the second card at desktop, system shut down, it's been a mess for me.
Yeah. Not a fan of the clear shroud, I liked the black aesthetics better.
