Maybe it resembles too much with gtx680, just gotten my gtx780, then build with closed loop liquid cooling, beats others hands down, maybe except for Poseidon lol. Not a fan of SLI, still has problems stability nowadays, btw 770 is still using old chip GK104 and Gtx780 using new chip GK110, that's why price difference so big

ey guys intending to run my games at 2560x1440 resolution my question is:

1st .
Is the Dell U2713HM the only one that can give this resolution at stock? any other cheaper brands? im looking into the AOC 27" IPS.

2nd
i got a budget for a good strong GPU im intending to go for the MSI Titan.
but after seeing the MSI GTX780 gaming series with the gaming app tuning ability, is it better than the titan?
coz im using the MSI Z87 GD65 gaming. comes with the VGA boost idk if it helps. the MSI GTX780 gaming out already?

1. Actually all brands nowadays had 1440p,only difference between them will be Glossy or AG screens, with some minor specs difference as well. Flip back a page and you will see some Korean cheap brand monitor which is available on eBay.

2. With gtx780, Titan just not worth the penny anymore, if you really had the budget to spend, my suggestion is to wait for GTX790 in September or later, dual GK110 chip, might cost up to 2k SGD or more, like Ares ll.

3. The Gaming edition is out, but first batch stock be all reserved already, 2nd batch Leadtime 2-3 weeks, I'm not a fan of MSI now because the dragon design, kind of crap design against ASUS, no offense here.

4. For now, a non reference gtx780 will definitely out perform a titan, but non reference Titan already on the way too, so at that time, titan will out perform gtx780 again lol. It's just a marketing gimmicks if you can see the pattern here.

5. For myself, initially thought of getting ASUS gtx780 directcuii, but after computex 2013, NZXT had a new bracket that enable you to stick it to a Reference card, attached it to kraken x40 or x60 if your case allows. Thus, I just gotten my ASUS GTX780, $900 with 2 free games, Bioshock Inifinite and DMC 2013 on steam. After the bracket released, I'll be using it on my reference gtx780 together with kraken x60. NZXT shows that their card running Crysis 3 at Ultra settings and SMAAx4 and able to keep the card temp at 30-40 degrees! This will be my plan, it beats all other non reference, only behind custom watercooling and maybe Poseidon.

AOC do not have any 2560x1440 monitor. And i don't think LG have too. Phillips/Samsung/Asus only have one model each across their whole 27in that is using 2560x1440 res locally.

Yup just checked, AOC and LG doesn't have 1440p.

Samsung got 2, S27B950D iirc, but very expensive, RRP 1599

hey thx man i think im going for the MSI GTX780 gaming series. if GTX790 is as pricey as ares 2 den ill pull back from getting it. my budget is up to titan value only haha. the thing that caught me is that MSI gaming GTX780 has the gaming app for the GPU to easily switch to O.C /silent and moderate mode if im not wrong. pretty cool.

so u're saying the one in market now is a reference TItan? and any idea how much the gaming MSI GTX780 is?

Yes, maybe not as pricey as Ares 2 but might be around 1.8k. All the titans are reference now, gtx780 took the same design that's why can perform better with water Cooling or non reference.

Not sure the price, but might hit over 1k+- abit. Do you mean MSI Afterburner? Most of the brands now provides the tweaking software liao, and Afterburner video recording can work on all brands not just msi. Imo if it's over 1k, a closed loop by NZXT will provide better cooling and performance due bro GPU Boost 2, and just abit more pricey compared to non reference

I have the 770 gaming....it is very silent at load and temps are good..As for the gaming app, I dun really like it..

Wait for the 770 4gb..and sli it.it about 170% of a 780 and cost much cheaper than a titan.nowsaday sli scale well. I upgraded from 560ti sli.

Yup SLI always performed better, but due to the air flow trapped for the above card, I don't like the temps, and support for SLI always come later in drivers over single card. That's why single card is always recommended, 8gb of Vram is way overkill for single display too, not sure how many monitors setup you are doing

But SLI is very subjective, I would gladly SLI 780 over SLI 770 if I'm a fan of SLI, due to the newer chip used.

The vram don't add up in sli..still 4gb..if want to sli..make sure the casing got space for the air flow...my cards are 2 slots apart:)

You are not getting 8GB of vram in Sli even if u sli 2x 4GB cards.
