Don't get 880m's friend. Your better off with your 680m's. 780m's are a better option, especially in Vietnam where is hot.demon151 likes this.

better stick with your 680m SLI, or 780m SLI if ya can afford one, 880m has some kind of stable problems despite the fact that they are 780m's clonedemon151 likes this.

880Ms are hindered by some weird power design. Once overclocked they heat up like crazy.

Ok , thanks guys , i'll thinking about going up to twin 780m's . Thanks 4 ur advise . Ah 1 more question , are duo 780m's can handle watch_dogs with hight setting ??

Here's a video I did with 780m SLI along time ago. It was before SLI was officially supported. Those are max settings.

like a breeze, last year i've completed that game with a m18xr1 (2760qm + 780m SLI), max setting with 60 framerate almost the time, but you should use TheWorse Mod for best experience (lol with the name!)

I dont know #panamaniacs but my system cant handle that with the hight set , i just playing that game with low everything and fps sometime drop from 50~~>55 to 30~~> 40 >.< ( poor me ) . My system when i've played were : win7 ultimate , 16gb ram corsair , ssd 240gb , and of course twin gtx 680m's

i think with gtx 780m sli you will experience the same behavior but the min fps will be higher .

Watchdogs uses up around 3500MB VRAM on the highest settings, so it should help immensely if going to 780m's.
-
Base on the video from TBone that with 2 gtx780m we can play watch dogs like a boss with the heighest setting ^^

You should get better performance with the official SLI support now too... So long as Ubisoft haven't broken it againdemon151 likes this.
