Should I Replace 690 For 780?

Featured Replies

Hi,

 

So my question is, should I replace my single GTX690 (triple monitor setup 5760x1200) for two GeForce GTX 780's with 6GB each?.

                Two: AMD-9950X | One: AMD-7950X3D | Three: Asus TUF 4090s | Three: 64GB DDR5 RAM 6000mhz | Three: Cosair 1300 P/S | Three: 990Pro 2TB NVME                    One: Eugenius ECS2512 - 2.5 GHz Switch | Three: Ice Giant Elite CPU Coolers | Three: 75" 4K UHDTVs | One: Boeing 737NG Flight Deck

I have SLI 780's and they would destroy a 690.

More constructively, The additional memory they provide would be beneficial to your high resolution as well. The 780 has more shaders, well almost more everything. If you break it down GPU to GPU.

Should you replace them? That is up to you. The 690 is not ancient by any means. But a single 780 will give you more performance in FSX since it does not utilize SLI well.

Hi,

 

I use P3D, thanks. Looks like I may be ordering as soon as I can get my hands on two. Maybe I'll sell the 690, put that money towards a new CPU.

What kind of case do you have?  I have the Asus GTX 780 OC DCII, they get VERY hot in SLI.  That why I have ventured down the custom loop water cooling path.  Reference would be best if you don't want to get into liquid cooling.

Hi,

 

I have an ANTEC Twelve Hundred, It's water cool ready. I used Water Cooing years ago, didn't like it much. I was thinking of Phase Change Cooling this time around.

 

But first I'd like to get setup with two 780's 6gb with a Sony 4K 55" UHDT.
