650 boostx2 or 3rd 7750 ram question also

danscan11 · Jul 28, 2013

I am coming into a tiny bit of money I have 2 7750's crossfiring I can add a 3rd and then maybe get some other stuff, or get 2 650 Ti boost's. I hear a ton of great things about the 650 boost's people seem to like them and they perform better than the 660's. I was looking at the 7850 powerclors but it seems like they under perform for the money. Or would it be worth the cash to try any of the above Im looking at 350-400 to spend.
Also I just noticed my RAM is showing up as 16GB when I have 24GB. I have 2x8GB sticks and 2x4GB sticks. There is a slight difference in their step or timing pattern, but they are all corsair vengeance same series just the 8's are low profile. Any info. or opinions would be awesome.

u might have issues in 3-way Cf, sell ur two 7750s and get 2 650 Ti Boosts or a 760

I would say go with the gtx 650ti boost SLI......Here is the reason why-

1- Gtx 650ti boost will be much faster than the hd 7750 3way crossfire......In fact gtx 650ti boost SLI is on par with gtx 770...

2- Crossfire has lots of issues (especially in 3 or 4 way) and most games don't work properly...

3- 2 way always scales better than 3 way.....

4- Gtx 650ti boost SLI will also be faster than hd 7850 crossfire because SLI scales much better than crossfire and has less issues (both driver issues and microstuttering) with games...

Might as well get one 760, then save a little then buy another 1! That would be awesome. 760 is around $270. Also, check your mobo's manual. There are issues with some mobos that only post a max of 16gb of memory.

1 760 over 2 650 boosts? I guess if I could find a buyer for my 7750's I could duel them. But your right I definately would be asking for trouble and space crunch trying to fit 3 gpus in there. I'll check out the 760 some more. See if anyone else has anything to add. Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. If so should I make sure its this one?

Well the first question would be what resolution are you running at? From what I have read the performance benefit diminishes after 2 cards. I think this holds true for AMD/ATI as well as Nvidia. If you are gaming on a single 1080p I would look at a single GTX 670/770 instead. At Newegg you can get a Gigabyte GTX 670 dual fan for $319 witch is a really good price http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125438 .

As for your memory it sounds like you might have a bad stick download Memtest86 and burn it to a USB stick and check your ram one stick at a time. If your 2 8gig stick are OK you could easily go down to 16gig with no performance decrease.

Since you are will to spend 400$....then why not get a gtx 770 (cost 400$) instead of a gtx 760....and add a second one later on....

If you SLI 650ti, it will create more heat and require more power. But if you buy the 760 or 1 770, less heat and less power consumption. But of course if you SLI it in the future, that would be a different story.

I was looking at this one award winner and stuff, but I have this really weird fascination with gigabyte. I think its because my first 2 mobo's where theirs and they where just solid. I dont know if it was you but yes my Mobo can handle 32GB's at max. I did have the 24GB showing for ahwile but switched a2 and b1 so I had a1-8 a2-8 b1-4 b2-4 because I thought the duel slots when both a slots and then both b slots so it having matching latency's would be easier that way. My mobo is a Z87-pro its an Asus which is another reason why I was looking at that GPU. 1080p is what Ill be running when I play.

Looking at everything $ being the highest equator, from what I've been reading and what you guys have all said Im gonna go with the duel 650 Ti Boost's. It seems like for the money that will give me the highest % of performance per dollar. I'm an AMD guy but look out Nvidia looks like you got another one.

completely forgot, first make sure ur motherboard supports SLI and ur PSU is up for it
