kfxsti Posted August 4, 2014 Share Posted August 4, 2014 I am planning on snagging a 18 here in the next few hours. I am currently running a 780m in my 17 and was wondering would the 860m sli be a good choice? or will the 770m sli? as the 780m sli and 880m sli is out of the budget as it stands right now. any help is greatly appreciated !!

Ezio21 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Why won't you switch cards from 17 to 18? 780m is much more powerful than 860m or 770m because 880M is the same card as 780M Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted August 5, 2014 Share Posted August 5, 2014 Looks like trying to get over the performance of a single 780m by getting Sli of slightly lower models... but under 780m sli because of budget. I would get the 780m again single personally and then someday down the line upgrade to the second card for Sli. Since its just adding a second card with heatsink and the Sli cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kfxsti Posted August 5, 2014 Author Share Posted August 5, 2014 Thanks guys for the Input. Im really thinking of getting the 18 with 765s in sli. Then swapping out the 765s.. putting one 765 in the 17 and the gtx780m in the 18. Then trying to find another 780m. But i have found an awesome deal on the 18 with dual 770m .... LOL im torn .. so very torn... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mw86 Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 You could get the 18 with a single 780m and then add your other 780m and buy a Sli cable. Run the 17 off of IGP....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
