Somewhat off topic but this old GTX 285 is finally on it's death bed. Almost six years old and it's dying on me. It runs between 60c and 70c idle and nears 100c while gaming. Crashes are abundant as well and no amount of thermal paste reapplication will help it anymore.
That being said I've been putting off upgrading for a lot longer than I should have and now find myself at a crossroads. Originally I was planning to pick up a single 780 3gb as I am not a fan of SLI configurations but wasn't sure if it's 3gb of VRAM would be up to the task of a heavily modded Skyrim (Texture mods, ENBs, over 100 others, etc.) While the 780 might be slightly less powerful than the ti it is more than enough for me.
While I currently only game on a single 1080p monitor I had plans for eventually moving on to a second at the very least soon. Those things being said, which way should I go? The new 6gb version now that it's available or the original 3gb? Perhaps something else altogether?
