Guys,
I recently was foolish and purchased a second EVGA GTX 570 1.28GB card, before realising my motherboard - Asus P8Z77-M Socket 1155 Intel Z77 was not compatible with SLI…
My question is should I buy a new motherboard (was thinking of the Asus P8Z77-M PRO (which is SLI compatible)) involving the rebuild of my PC (and associated risk of me damaging something) or sell both my EVGA GTX 570 cards and buy a new GTX 770 card to use on my current Motherboard. The net cost price of either option will be about £100-£150 depending on what I sell the cards for on Ebay…
Would love to know what people think is the best option in terms or Pros and Cons?
Would two GTX 570s in SLI give a better performance on average than a single GTX 770? Have you done an SLI on these cards before and had issues with Micro stuttering or been disappointed?
I sometime play games in 3D, so I believe an SLI setup may be better for that?
From what I have read on the 6 and 7 series cards, the only benefit is that you can steam PC games with Project Shield which old 5 series cards cannot. Other than that it is just about FPS.
My system details:
Intel i5-2500K Sandybridge Socket 1155 CPU-Retail (BX80623I52500) (BX80623I52500K)
Asus P8Z77-M Socket 1155 Intel Z77 Micro ATX Intel Motherboard (P8Z77-M)
Corsair Vengeance LP Red 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 PC3 14900 1866MHz Memory (CML8GX3M2A1866C9R) (CML8GX3M2A1866C9R)
Corsair TX 750W V2 PSU - 80plus Bronze Certified
BenQ 24inch XL2420T (Max Resolution 1920 x 1080)
Would really appreciate some advice to make sure I don’t make any more stupid/costly mistakes!
Also do you think 750W will be enough power to SLI two 570s?
Thanks,
Jonny
