For 1080p 2x GTX 760 FTW is the cheaper route.

Most definitely. However I own both. I have the SLI 760s setup, and the 780 ti sitting next to me unopened. I had some issues with my SLI initially, so I jumped the gun and purchased the 780 ti to go with a solid single card setup. Before the card arrived UPS with a lot of help within these forums I was able to get the SLI setup to work properly. So do I send the 780 ti back for a refund? Or would I be better off running it?

Personally I have always ran into issues using cross fire and sli, got fed up with it and went with a single card setup and never have looked back. However there are many people out there that will go for the sli setup and stick with it. At this point if you are happy with the sli setup stay with it. It will be easier to return the 780 ti than trying to sell two 760's if you do not plan on keeping them.

I agree with you. It's just... The 780 ti KP Classy just seems way to pretty to give back lol. I ran Heaven 4.0 (1920x1080 Extreme / Ultra) last night with all stock clock speeds (CPU and GPUs) SLI 760s and scored 1548. Then this guy scores a 1750 with the K|NGP|N on factory clocks. I was just wondering if there was gonna be a (notable) performance increase.

Alos have 4gb VRam with the 760s rather than 3gb. I think I'll send it back.

KP Classified is single card stronger than GTX760 SLI. You are not aware how that model is stronger out of box than example R9-290X or normal GTX780Ti. Difference is really huge. People are shocked when I show them results on fabric clock. When I bought card no one in Serbia don't even try to compare score with me, they are fascinated with stock result and completely aware no way to catch that with some ASUS or MSI models. I think if some have money and option to buy one K|NGP|N Classified he don't need to ask at all. All other models in that situation immediately become not so good idea. Because I never saw such fabric overclocked card, so stronger card than reference model.

I'm a big fan of the 760s 327.23 drivers allow you to do everything. I got 760s and SLI Surround is fantastic. ! 760 is not satisfying but two 760s on the right motherboard is great my visuals are amazing. Just know you can use SLI with all the drivers but you can not use SLI Surround out using 327.23 drivers. just download the 2.0 experience separate and you get the same as the new drivers..

First of all (fact) You can down load experience 2.0 buy itself and load it with the drivers any version. That is not mixing and I didn't suggest that here did I. Fact they even suggest doing that to keep up with the new SLI builds. Are you trying to harass me again. Do you have real experience with 700s so me evidence of something you did with 700s yourself to prove what your saying. I have plenty of since. You talk like its flashing a bios. Its just drivers they cant hurt your card.

I have the Classified and the 760 SC ACX. Both are great cards. The single classified is just splendid compared to 2 760 SLI tour. If you are going to do SLI, why not a pair of 770s?

Well I built this machine about 2 weeks ago thinking that it would dominate my old gtx 670 build (which it does not). With the 760s I can pull off "slightly" higher settings, but not exactly what I was looking for. It seems that the single 670 provided a much "smoother" gameplay experience. Thus I bought the 780ti KP Classified looking to get that smoother gameplay back. I just figured the 2 760s would have been overkill an there was no need to SLI anything higher. I'm just trying to justify opening the 780ti, trying it out and gambling with a potential $860 return. If I don't like it, I'm out $860. But the "What if's" are KILLING me.

The minimum FPS is a LOT better on the 780Ti - so I would stick with the single card.

Did I mention the boost clock on the 780 ti was @ 1201mhz vs the 1084mhz on the 760s? Packing up the 760s in the original boxes as we speak! My job here is done I think.

lmao, my wife said the same thing. But tbh I think I'm done. I would need a bigger PSU to run 2 of these. That's like another $1200. So I think I'll pass.

I am a firm fan of single high performance cards. I have the 780 Ti Classified and REALLY like it. SLI is hit and miss. Usually, it works really well... Then, there is that one game that you come across that it doesn't work to well with. I just prefer to have a great single card setup usually.

I thank you all for your input. Looks like I'm gonna run with the KP 780 ti. It runs the games I play MUCH smoother. Not to mention, the OC abilities on this card will carry me to victory if ever I'm in doubt. Thanks again

And I'm fan of most powerful single cards. Special now when we play on same chip as Tesla K40 with less video memory only. That's always better option than two mid range cards, even when performance are 10-20% less, GTX780Ti KP Classified can compare almost with some GTX770 SLI on reference clocks. Results are very close. No doubt when result is so close it's better to choose single card always. I can't separate without single unlocked card. I bought GTX780 and I feel extremely bad because I used on full potential of some chip and I could pay maybe about 150-200$ for GTX780 SLI... but that was more money and single card is best for me. I saw some roundup of GTX780Ti models MSI Gaming OC 1020MHz - EVGA Classified - 1020MHz - GIGABYTE GHz 1085MHz http://hothardware.com/Reviews/NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-780-Ti-Roundup-EVGA-Gigabyte-And-MSI-Duke-It-Out/?page=2 You will see GIGABYTE is stronger because much higher clock, but they notice again famous unstable GHz Edition and crash of cards, they should compare and GIGABYTE 1020MHz model... Than EVGA would be winner on same clocks. But KP Classified is stronger than any model even with 13MHz less clock than GIGABYTE GHz Edition. Excellent card and I think who have money to pay... who knows when we see same card again. Maybe for 2 or 3 years.

That's my own SLI run with my two 760s at 2560x1440. It was from a while back, and I unfortunately forgot to write down my OC at the time on them, but it's pretty close to my current 125Mhz core, 500Mhz memory. I'm beating out most Titans at this resolution.

One more run just now. Not as good unfortunately, but still respectable. I'm not entirely sure why your SLI 760s didn't score higher at 1080 than mine at 1440. Sounds like either something isn't configured optimally or something may be wrong with one or both.

Does Unigine Valley score differently than Unigine Heaven 4.0? Keep in mind all mine were done on stock clocks too. Not sure how much difference that would have made. I don't Benchmark much. :/ I also noticed that running higher resolutions had higher scores on lower FPS when I compared some scores online. Tbh, I don't know wth happened with the 760s in SLI. May have been a config issue. I'm not really sure. I just didn't like it. It was just very frustrating watching my $2500 PC stutter over games like Titanfall and BF4. Not what I intended it for. But I am very happy with the way it is now. I even got a cool KP Classified skin for my Precision X! It's been a pretty good night. lol

I think if someone choose card should look only on results on fabric clock, everything over is luck. Xotic84, what you decide, king of graphic cards or GTX760 SLI? You can expect about 1700+ points in Unigine Heaven 4.0, about 3200+ in Valley 1.0, About 53.000 GPU Score in Vantage, 17.800 in 3DMark 11, 13.200 in Firestrike, I talk about GPU Scores and out of box without OC. These results for single card on fabric clock... I don't need to talk about feeling in games on so powerfull monster, unlocked GK110 2880 CUDA on 1202MHz...
