What CPU and motherboard should i get to accomodate two gtx titans

TheGamerInside · Oct 24, 2013

So my friend is giving me his two gtx titans and I am not sure what cpu and motherboard I should get. Right now I was looking at the amd fx-8350 or the intel i7 3770 or the 4770. From what i've read the amd 8350 won't bottleneck the gpu but it will limit performance becuase amd cps are not as powerful as intel. Please leave as many suggestions as you want

I would suggest the 4770k with an Asus Maximus VI Hero. What's your price range for a motherboard?

That cpu is way outside my budget

I was kidding wait a moment...

A 4930k would be my choice for such a system. Otherwise a 4770k.

Now that's a nice friend...

Darkresurrection · Oct 24, 2013

cpu= $339.99

That I can do! Do you think I should overclock the cpu or should i be fine

logainofhades · Oct 24, 2013

Any of these recommended boards would be good, except for the Biostar as I believe it doesn't have SLI support. (could be wrong)

TheGamerInside :

you will be absoloutly fine without overclockin, in a test performed by http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_Titan_SLI/ they did the test with a cpu wich is a little slower than what you are buying, no bottleneck was reported...so you will be 100% ok without overclocking

TheAntagonist · Oct 24, 2013

You should definitely oc the cpu if you plan on keeping up with dual titans, just ensure you have sufficient water cooling and heat management.

TheAntagonist :

look here http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_Titan_SLI/ they did tri-sli without overclocking i7 3820...so no overclocking is needed for two and with even a more powerful cpu
