Last week we reviewed two new cost effective Ultra HD 4K monitors from ASUS and AOC. No longer do you need to pay £2,000+ to land a 60hz 4K monitor for gaming – these new models have hit retail for less than £600. Buying the monitor is only part of the cost however, because it is likely a graphics card upgrade will be needed as well. Nvidia's GTX780Ti is ideal for gaming at 4K – however today we look at saving some money and running two of the new Asus ROG Striker Platinum GTX760 solutions in an SLi configuration.
The Asus ROG Striker Platinum GTX760 is a new solution featuring 4GB of memory, 1GB more than the flagship GTX780Ti. It features Direct CU II cooling, Cooltech fans, a DIGI+ voltage regulator module and Super Alloy power components.

I know they have less memory on board, but how would a couple of 3GB R9 280x’s in crossfire fare against these?
How come the 6GB 780 is thrashing the 780TI’s in the Ungine benchmarks? Surely they don’t require that much ram?
Oh I see, it’s 2 in SLI.
