GTX 760 vs 770 4GB triple monitor help

[lilrex]

Hello all, I have a question and hopefully someone here can help me.

I am upgrading my 2 6950 2 GB cards (non crossfire) and am up between 2 GTX 760's 4GB edition or the GTX 770 4 GB.

I am using 3 monitors but not in the panoramic racing car sense. I only play my games on monitor #1 monitor normally runs a browser window and monitor #3 just runs my monitoring software and VOIP.

Based on this info which card would you suggest. Since I do only play my games on 1 screen as opposed to 3 I run all of them on ultra with not fps issues at all with my current cards.

Thank you for your input.

welcome to the OC3D forums..

what resolution are you running and what size monitor(s)?

If you run everything on ultra with no FPS issues... what's the point of the upgrade?

A 760 is a far more better value than money card than a 770. 2gb is fine for one screen. The other 2 screens will hardly take any Vram.

I sold one of thw cards to a friend who needed the upgrade and a single 6950 is not able to run 3 monitors without active display.

I'd say the 770, it'll be more than sufficient and you have the option to add another one in the future.

Either way you will only need 2gb vram with those cards. Mine as well sell your 6950 and see if you can stretch to a 780 and not have to worry for years to come. Or go get a 7970ghz ed.
