Should I wait for the GTX 800 series?

If you have enough money for two GPUs I would go with two reference 780 Tis. The non-ref coolers are not really suited for going SLI.

K is short for kilo; kilo means thousand. So basically 6K means 6000.

Tow 780 Tis is just too much... I think I'm gonna go with the EVGA GTX 780 Ti SC w/ ACX... we'll see when the next series comes out...

So what you're saying is that you've a 6Kbps internet.

So what you're saying is that you've a 6Kbps internet.

A bit OT but I think that means about 5.85mbps (megabits/sec) or around 0.725 MBps (Megabyte/sec) if I got my sums right.

In a previous post he said:

Thank you
6K means 6000 kbit/s so basically my internet is really really bad.

I then asked why he didn't put 6Mbps but he replied with the post above, so I'm intrigued...

I think what he has done is put a marketing spin on really bad to make it look better and you have to admit that 6000mbps looks more impressive than 0.725MBps.

[andre451]

Typically the speed of an internet connection is measured in bits (b minus) like 10Mbps (10Mbits/s), only the speed of the download is measured in bytes (capital B), in this case downloads of 1.25MBps or 1250kBps, since 1 byte equals 8 bits.

Obviously an internet speed of 6kbps is impossible, he probably has an internet speed of 6Mbps with downloads of 750kBps.

Wow... so this thread is now totally off track like a crashed train that's been derailed spreading words all of over the track, or are we just filling in time until the 800 series cards are launched?

[andre451]

Ahh so that's what OT mean, yeah a bit of a detour there sorry... although I really liked your analogy....
Yeah I think this thread is pretty much solved... apart from the 6K internet...

lol. Glad I could help.
