GPU Upgrade question
Ok so it is time to upgrade my gpu. I have been using a mixed bag for awhile:
1x GTX 650 ti
2x GTX 460 GT
with these I have the 650 running 3x 24' monitors in portrate and surround on. With the 2x 460's doing the graphics offload. This has been a fairly stable system for along time but I fear my eve addiction has outgrown my rig. So I need help do I go with:
http://www.asus.com/ROG_ROG/ROG_STRIKERGTX760P4GD5/
GTX 760 4gb vram 1085MHz base clock speed
or
http://rog.asus.com/323792014/gaming-graphics-cards-2/asus-announces-strix-r9-280-3gb-and-strix-gtx-780-6gb-gaming-graphics-cards-with-0db-fan-tech/
GTX 780 6gb vram 899MHz base clock speed
So here is the problem I can either get two of the Strikers and place them in sli or I could get a single Strix. Both options would cost the same.
I am leaning towards the Strix due to it having 2 extra gb vram and is a better base card also. If i understand it correctly the 2x Strikers in sli whale physically having 8gb vram in the system the sli has to mirror everything so you still only have 4gb available. If that's true the 6gb Strix is a better option
What this graphics option will power is a 12 man EvE Online team or a 5 man WoW team. Please let me know your thoughts and the reason for the thought. Thank you
