Sorry , my eng is very very bad ...

Hey sounds fine to me! Thanks for your thoughts.

 

Now what the heck do I do LOL !!! I think in the end it comes down to what my multi display setup will be, but I haven't decided on that yet! I've been collecting old PCs with the intention of some clandestine sim using networked PCs and multiple views. Can anyone give me an example of VRAM use with X-Plane 10 spanned across three monitors running at 5760x1080?

 

I am leaning back towards the GTX770 4GB.

X-Plane 10 on 3 monitors not recomended , did a test it take to much both from CPU and GPU .

 

Cpu was a 4770K @ 4.8 and test 4 differnt video cards, 680 4gb, 690, TITAN and a AMD R9 290.

the 680 and 690 was to weak ( GK104) , Titan and 290 performed similar with a sligtly advantage for the Titan.

 

I run multimonitorsetup in FSX P3D V2 not X-plane waiting for stronger hardware..

 

The reason i bought me a Titan was that the 680 4gb was to weak in multimonitor setup.

 

I not recomend any GK104 aka 770 wathever memory size , but its lot of guys here with 770 that think its good and thats ok

dont know if they have compared it with a Titan or 780 to see the difference????

What resolution were you running at? Were you running max settings or a compromise? I'm not so interested in running max visual settings as I'm more into systems, e.g. I'll be running FF777 in X-Plane.

I use x-plane 10 exclusively. 

 

get as much video RAM as you can. I frequently use 3400 - 3800 on my GTX 770 4GB card. I'm thinking of swapping it for that new GTX 6GB card.

Amazon UK have the 4GB GTX 770 at £287.98.

Where are you getting the price of £328.99 for the GTX 780? The cheapest one on Amazon UK is £368.08.

In case anyone's wondering, no I still haven't made my mind up! Although I'm not rushing as this will be for my new i7-4790K build. Right now I'm considering:

 

EVGA GTX770 4GB Classified

1536 CUDA cores

1150MHz (1202MHz boost)

4GB 256bit GDDR5 7010MHz

147.2GT/s texture fill rate

224.32GB/s memory bandwidth

ACX Cooler

£318.99

 

EVGA GTX780 3GB SC

2304 CUDA cores

941MHz (993MHz boost)

3GB 384bit GDDR5 6008MHz

180.6GT/s texture fill rate

288.38GB/s memory bandwidth

Titan Cooler

£328.99

 

Perhaps the GTX780 will be a better match for a i7-4790K? Can anyone offer an objective opinion re the texture fill rate and memory bandwidth of these GPUs?

Wait one day , you have some more options tomorrow.

 

770 to old chip , price drop on 780

I'm with westman? But if those are the prices I'd get the 780

Yup, I have the exact same 770 and I sure paid more than that for it!

What about a 970?

The power of a 970 is close to a 780 Ti but it is much cheaper and more efficient.

Hey thanks for the "heads up". This might be useful for those following this tread.

Better than our Swedish

 

Or any other language that is not english.  I think the 780 is the way to go.

Honestly, get the current best of all worlds - the EVGA GTX 780 6 GB version

In doing so, you get the on-board memory of the TITAN with the performance of the GTX 780.  You can run a high-res display setup with high-def textures in X-plane and not worry about being right on the edge of available VRAM.  And with the recent release of the GTX 980 and 970, prices on the current-gen 700-series cards may drop in the coming weeks/months.  Just a thought.

980 and 970? Where did the 8 series disappear to?
