Hi there everyone,
I have had this computer for about a year now, minus an SLi setup, until about 2 months ago, then I bought a second 680.
I was wondering if I ran SLi and had a 850w psu and games ran like shit, would it be because Im not drawing enough power needed to run my setup?
I know a little about computer and I only purchased this setup to learn more about them and overclocking and what not... but there are only so many things I know and games running slow or craptastic on this beast just pissed me off. So, here I am in the forums asking for some sort of insight in to my problem.
