Does anyone here SLI?

[Bones4]

I'm running one EVGA 670 FTW and I'm wanting another one.

It doesn't exactly handle everything maxed (meaning at least 60fps) and I also like to play in 3D. When not playing in 3D, I wouldn't benefit from more than 60fps as my monitor's refresh rate is 120.

Anyway, does anyone have experience with this? Especially with a 670. Any problems?

Gtx560 non ti nope cant motherboard cant take it since its a prebuild with stuff parts.

I don't SLI personally but from what I know (barely) about SLI is that performance increases can vary from game to game.  Some games might get a huge boost, some not at all.  It'll depend.  Take this all with a grain of salt I'm not 100% sure.

I used to with two GT9800's, but they failed a few years back.

Bump. I can't decide whether to get it or not.

you can sell your old 670 and scrape up 1000 dollars and get the 690

670 FTW Sli performs better and is cheaper.

I've never tried it, but from what I hear it's rather hit-or-miss on if it works (And if it works well)

Although it's been a few years since I heard that, so support might have gotten better.

670 FTW Sli performs better

no it doesn't

a 690 is just 2 680's taped together
and a 680 is definitely better than 670



noticable difference

The 670 FTW runs at 680 speeds...

Anyway, that's not the point. I'm not getting a 690. I'm not asking for alternate suggestions. I'm asking about SLI.

[LeetZero]

Just like Nicklebob said, SLi itself is useful on some conditions.
In general, games handle it well and will yield at least +-1/2 more of the FPS you already have. At least games that support it well. And usually that's most of the new games that require high graphical performance.
In my opinion it would be a good buy, though myself personally I would rather sell my current card and buy a next generation.

I don't have any experience with things like this, they sound like a SLI-ly run operation to me.

and buy a next generation.

a 670 is the newest generation

[Mr.jacksaunt]

a 670 is the newest generation

that's why he said next generation not newest generation
