i wanna try Apex, and i have 2 choices of GPU to put in my pc.
i have a GTX 780Ti in it now, which has 3gb of vram ,ad a GTX 690 with 2gb of vram (4gb but it's SLI so 2gb usable). which card would be better?
also before you reply i know Apex has crap SLI support, but i found a fix here:

Reduce the texture configurations. Try experimenting with 780 Ti.

I'm not entirely confident, but you might want to test each car yourself. On my 1050, the game becomes very slow at low settings.

I'm using an RX 460 with all settings low and textures turned off, getting about 50-55 frames. I think adding more RAM would help, though it might not be necessary. Personally, I wouldn't recommend it, but trying it could still be worth a look.

From my own experience, 2 GB of VRAM is more than enough. I've been using a Radeon HD 7850 with 2 GB and the game runs quite smoothly. Of course, my graphics settings are reduced, but it works well with what I have available. Also, checking their site shows that the minimum AMD card needed is a Radeon HD 7730 with just 1 GB of VRAM.

at 1080p it runs smoothly on low texture medium, while other settings on my 680 GTX (2gb) use more memory. The hardware info indicates 1.6 to 1.8 gb is being utilized during playback.

Starting it now...
if nothing functions, you can configure a specific frame rate in the game settings, like 60 fps, and the game will modify the video settings accordingly.
ps: I'm using the MX150 and maintain a consistent 60fps.

780 will suffice for the modified configurations at 1080p
