Hey everyone,
I was thinking of adding another one for SLI mainly for games like Battlefield 4, Crysis 3, and Metro 2033. I also play a lot of Just Cause 2 and GTA 4--and 5 when it comes out
First, would SLI work properly for these games,? Software-wise, would it give good scaling and have very little microstuttering?
Second, is it feasible? I know that my motherboard's PCI-E x16 slots are really close together (only one slot between them, so the cards would be right up against each other). I've heard something about Twin Frozr cards exhausting heat back into the case, so would it be a bad idea to put two so close together? If so, is it possible to SLI, say, an EVGA reference design with the MSI? (I put my system specs and case setup at the bottom)
Finally, how much wattage and what power supply would you recommend? Right now, I have an OCZ 550w, which I know won't be enough for SLI...
I have an Asus p6t (regular) X58 board with an i7-930 @3.9GHz (Hyper 212+ cooler, one 120mm fan). My case is an Antec 600 with 2 120mm intake fans at the front (3 speed, 40-80 cfm), a side 120mm fan (2 speed, 40/70 cfm, it's the one that came with the case), a rear 120mm fan (3 speed, 40-80 cfm), and a top 200mm fan (no clue).
Thanks!
