what do you think? Geforce GTX 480 Sli or GTX 760? Pls help!

Im planing to upgrade my gpu but i dont really know which option would be the better. another GTX 480 on sli, or a GTX 760? what do you guys think? Which would be better in performance, etc? thanks for the help!

 

Not really the place to ask bud. Have you got a league/game forum you are a member of that can help go through what you need for the money you have at hand? If not look at the prices on a respected website and then check the difference between ATi and nVidia and then make your choice. As for SLi or new card, new cards are usually much better at the job that their older counter parts. That is only my opinion, many will have different, that is why I would say go ask your online community (the recommended hardware section gives you a hint at what Kunos believes you need).

 

1 760 will out perform 2x 480's in just about any test, and save you a bunch of power consumption as well. The 760 is a easy choice here.

 

760, but if you can invest +50-60€ get the 770

 

I just want to know the opinion of the community, i wanna upgrade because of AC, so im curious what other users think, maybe there are some people out there who can tell more like a comparison on a site.

 

I personally have a GTX 670 now and float around 80-90 FPS at 1920x1080 with everything maxed and Shadowplay recording, however I typically keep it locked with vsync. During which, the FR never dips.

I had a 6950 previously and I had to make sacrifices to keep the FR around 60 and it wasn't as smooth as it did dip. That is in line roughly with the GTX 480. Having come before that from GTX 460's in SLI, I can tell you that the 4 series throws off a lot of heat. Multiply that by 2 and I had a year round space heater near my feet.

Plus you get extra stuff like much better power management (saves some coin) and Shadowplay, all while the 480 will still fetch a reasonable price on eBay. You know what to do.

 

Thanks guys the advices, realy aprpeciate!!

 

I was not trying to be balshy tkrisz2, it's more useful to have a good chat with people you know and respect then check online for the best option for yourself. Good to know you got an idea of what you need to do though.

 

I know that One of my good friend suggested the 760, and then i check a lot of option before i had chosen this 2.
Then open the thread, because,( we have a saying in Hungary) "more eye, more view" or something like this..

 

tkrisz2, if you're not satisfied with the performance of your 480, then by all means, get rid of it! It's a powerful GPU but well known as a hugely flawed design in terms of efficinicy, therefore sli'ing them is a really bad idea! 760 or add up for 770!
Then again, i think 480 should be plenty to run AC with high settings on a single FHD screen.

 

This I can agree with. As I have a slightly later model of the i5 I can get a higher FPS but generally speaking that's around the average FPS for me.

 

Im really satisfield with the 480 its a really good card and worth the money, but getting old.., i have realtively high fps, even on triple screen, if setting are low aprximately around 110+, my main setting is AF 4, AA 4, 4240X1050, cubemap low, faces 6, shadows low, fps caped at 60, with these settings its the best graphically and performance as well, but i have stutter, what annoys me.
In other games i use softth but i cant in AC, because softth only supports dx9 games. I have to edit the video.ini and the triple screen only works in window mode(i think thats why the stutter but not sure).
so i wanna a proper way to TS, and better performance, because there are some games where i dont get satisfying fps on TS!
