Will this card be a better replacement than my aged GTX-8800 ? I think I'm replacing a 5 year old SLI version.

I wouldn't know the bare bone of if it is better, I do know it's one of the top 5-ish cards for low-profile computers, so it's almost a guarenteed it'll be a major improvement, especially for an older card, as long as you have the preferred RAM of the card.

yes it will it is a good card,and is also game for gaming,and can work good with a 300 watt power supply. so far all my games work including high graphic games run well. i also overclocked it to 860 core,and it performs well with zotac firestorm overclocking tool. it was a good buy. hope this helps take care

I use two of these in SLI and have been running everything I play on max, even new games. You could probably do the same with just one, to be honest.

It will work with any card that supports SLi. The SLi bridges are all pretty much the same still so it doesn't really matter, however if you use it and everything looks funny just pull the bridge off and turn it the other way and re connect it. I know it sounds stupid but it was the first issue I had with SLi and the only issue.

Considering that on average, while running newer games on Ultra settings, I'm only using a total of around 330 watts, I would say it'll probably work. On the other hand, there's literally no reason to use two of these in SLI; even with just one I can run any new game on the highest possible settings in every area and still get 60+FPS. The second card won't do anything.

It will work fine as a replacement. I am not sure how much of a performance upgrade it will be however. It supports new features like DirectX 11 and Display Port.

It will be fine but you can't do SLI for Nvidia if you want to go that route just single card. Great board btw.

I have a 600W power supply, and won't be getting SLI. I've cranked up everything to max in every game I've played on it, and it hasn't had any issues. 650W is plenty.

I have two of them using SLI, I have never had a problem of overheating or any noise at all from either of them. I highly recommend this card for the money.

I would say GTX780 SC because you would get more life out of it. The 770 is virtually the same as GTX680 so its a great card but if you don't want to buy another card for a while go for GTX780 SC. I personally bought it because I use it in 2 Way SLI. If you were to use 770s in SLI than you get a better bang for your buck instead of GTX780s in SLI. But for single card go for 780 SC or even save a little while longer and get the GTX 780ti because it will basically play anything on max settings at 1080p and be a worthy card if you ever upgrade your monitor.

It should definitely improve your graphics experience, but double check that your power supply can handle the new card. Also, is your current graphics handler integrated into the cpu or mobo?

Yeah. I have 2 over these guys in my workstation SLI. For a period of time I had to have one is PCIE 2.0 slot and the other in the 3.0 worked like a charm. I will note though if you want to use this for solid works or auto cad. DO NOT use the newest driver. It will crash everything. Use driver 9.18.13.697 built on 10/2/2012. I love this card, great for professional use case. Don't expect super high fps in games though. This card is strictly for workstation graphics

I was able to run Shadow of Mordor in 4k with 2 of these cards in SLI and get around 40 fps. Most games aren't as system heavy as SoM. 6gb is more than enough.

You can only SLI with the exact same chipset. Meaning, you need this card, as is, x2 ($1000+) (also you really wouldn't need that for anything, the 780 on its own can do a beast of a job)

They do not run SLI. If you were to buy 2 of these I'd rather spend that money on one GTX 980. The 980 is equal to or greater than, performance wise, than two of these.

Hey friend. I have been running this card on ultra with a variety of games ranging from Arma 3, BF3, to the very inensive Star Citizen and I really enjoy the card. I have little to no problems with frame rate or stuttering and would recommend it. However, the 970 gtx is two generations newer and takes a slight edge in performance. The 970 is a better card, but I believe the 780 should suit you just fine for your needs now. Looking forward, the 970 will be better long term and if you can afford it now, I'd recommend it for the sake of a longer useful life.

This card will play it but the frame rates would be sad. Sub 20's probably. Go for an 8600GT or better yet GTS You'll get double the performance for not much more money. Also depends on what processor/ram you have?? Woody

As long as the memory is the same, the brand shouldn't make a difference. If the memory speed is mismatched or the memory size is different then the card with the lower/slower memory spec will lock down and dictate the overall spec for the SLI setup.
