See this is why I can't get into PC Gaming, having to spend all this money every 3 months .

$3K?

fukking outrageous. Yes :imad:


I might just pull the trigger on those new 780s. The 790 probably will never exist.

 

[DF is BUSY]

Titan was never meant to be a gaming gpu in the first place...it was made for hardcore computational calculations and other high end engineering buzzwords shyt...

better to cop a gtx 780

Yeah, I got a 690 now and it's starting to become on my 3 monitor setup. I should just go with 2 780s I guess. Though AMD is looking good again with that 290x

290x has better pricing ($150 less than 780 TI) and comparable or better than 780GTX (from the bench marks I was reading on)

we'll see what my money looking like next month if I go with a 780 TI or maybe just say fukk it and get 2 780s or we'll see... $1000 on video cards bruhs ima have to think bout that shyt

I'd go with the two 780's...specifally the Asus 3GB ones...not sure if you could get them non OC'ed and OC them yourself...but these might be the best video cards I have ever owned...run exceptionally quiet and they stay ridiculously cool. I took my liquid cooler out of my case about a week ago and still haven't had them reach even 60 degrees under load...though I do have one of those massive Antic 1200 cases...

 

[Ciggavelli]

The power supply needed for 2 290xs is way too much.

2 780s would be more efficient and probably cheaper, due to AMD mining issues

Do it if you have 1440p. Or better yet move to a 3-monitor setup

If you're only at 1080 or 1200p, I say just get one.
