Nvidia Gtx 760 4Gb sli

[Nascar]

When I was searching to get a new Gpu, I saw a lot of reviews saying just get the 2Gb Gtx 760 because you will not benefit from the extra ram. I made a mission and Msi Afterburner showed Gpu1 max 97% with max ram at 3490 and Gpu2 max 95% with Max ram at 3490. I definitely think it was a benefit to get the 4Gb. The Gtx 780ti should be more than 3Gb, in my opinion.

I have been using a GTX 680 4Gb for 18 months now and DCS regularly uses 3.4 Gb vram at 1080p in multiplayer. I was thinking about going for a GTX 780ti some time ago, but with only 3 Gb vram I decided to wait for the next batch of cards from NVidia (800 or possibly 900 series). With any luck EDGE may not be as resource hungry as the current engine.:)

I wonder if the raw power of the 780ti makes it need less vram? It would suck to spend $700 only to get stutters.

Vram usage is not equal to vram needed.

Gtx 780ti runs great om games. However next month the gtx 900 series will come out and priices will drop....

This is valid for 32-bit windows, but not for 64-bit AFAIK.

I currently have a single GTX 760 2GB. Do you guys think I would benefit in DCS from having two 760's (identical) in SLI if I bought another? Would it improve DCS? My gaming rig exists solely for DCS.

I hate how it's always the answer, but "wait for EDGE" ;)

 

Currently, DCS doesn't utilize SLI. I don't know if EDGE will support it or not, but it'd be pointless right now.

I just got a 780 6gb. I couldn't be happier. remember folks, Vram does not stack like system memory does. So if you want to put cards in SLI, you're not going to double the ram. Don't get me wrong, 2 780ti's in SLI would be impressive ... but they would be limited to a max of 3 gb vram. And if these multiplayer games are getting into 3.4 like mentioned ... well, there's your bottleneck.

I plan on doing SLI with the 780 6gb in a couple years. They should be considerably cheaper then and it will give my desktop a little bit more future proofing

Night, I think if you sold your 760 and bought a 770 4gb, you would be better off.

 

KLR Rico, SLI works in DCS.
