Introduction
NVIDIA today announced the GeForce GTX 780 graphics card, which has a lot in common with the GeForce GTX TITAN. The pricing of GeForce GTX 780 makes setting up 2-card SLI just 30% pricier than a GTX TITAN, with the prospect of a huge performance lead. A single GTX 780 presents some fascinating performance numbers compared to the GTX TITAN and its predecessor, the GTX 680. Find out more in the single-card reviews linked below.
In this review, we explore how a 2-card SLI setup of GeForce GTX 780s fares against the four-figure league of the GeForce GTX TITAN, GeForce GTX 690, and Radeon HD 7990. We also explore how the performance scales up from single-card, and in just how many games it does. We used a combination of NVIDIA- and GIGABYTE-branded cards, both of which are made to run at NVIDIA-reference clock speeds.
