GTX 700 series, be warned.

That's odd, because I ran MWO with SLI 580s around 60fps at 2560x1600. I just renamed the .exe to utilize both cards.

Renamed to what? Cause right now the game is only using 1 gpu.

I used the name of the Crysis 2 exe. On certain games I use bf3.exe. Skyrim also utilizes Nvidia cards well too. Just a case of tricking the drivers thinking it's a different game and using a different SLI profile. You have to experiment because sometimes it gives negative results.

Wonder if 680 and 770 will SLI, etc.

No because of the device id.

Bios flashing won't work?

Last time I did a bios flash all it did was change the name, unlocked things, and boosted the clocks. The device ID remained the same. The only reason I even thought about it was because Wiz over at TPU said something on their 770 thread.

So the GTX780 is a bit of a flop IMO. Too much price tag for only a 3GB card and a slight boost in performance which can be ironed out by better performance per dollar from a 4GB 680 and some OC.

IMO, if anybody really wants this chip you should wait about 6 months until the 6GB cards are out and the price is much lower. Or just get 2 680s.

So... considering I don't want to touch OC at all, wait another 6-8 months until price drops on the 780. Got it ^_^

Won't happen. They will always be over 500 unless you buy one used. I have a serious feeling that the 800 series will be Maxwell and will be vastly different than what we are currently used to. Nvidia have dug them a niche hole so they don't have to lower pricing by having a price/performance tier from the 690 down. When the 690 gets phased out soon, I have a feeling 780 and Titan prices might rise when people want SLI solutions.
