Hello, folks. Let me start by saying that I hope you are well, and that I appreciate any input offered in this regard.
I recently built my first rig (specs to follow), and was considering the purchase of an additional ASUS GTX 760 to run in dual SLI. My concern is if my Intel i7-4770 (*not the Intel i7-4770K) will bottleneck any hoped for improvement by purchasing the additional card? Of course, I do not wish to waste the money, and hope for a 60% +/- improvement on frame rate. Of course, having a good motherboard, 700+ watt power supply and decent RAM is important as well.
Again, thank you for your reflections here.
Specs:
Intel Core i7-4770 3.4GHz Quad-Core
Asus Z87-PRO ATX LGA1150
Corsair Dominator Platinum 16GB (4 x 4GB) DDR3-2133
Samsung 840 Pro Series 128GB 2.5" SSD
Plextor M5S Series 256GB 2.5" SSD
Asus GeForce GTX 760 2GB
SeaSonic 720W ATX12V / EPS12V
Microsoft Windows 8.1 (64-bit)
