dual SLI gtx 760

dandn0ten · Mar 1, 2014

hello guys, i have a quick question. im using gigabyte gtx 760 2gbs right now and planning to get another but i dont know if i get the 4gbs one how much memories will i have? and could you also recommend a good PSU for them?

You'll get total 4GB VRAM but make sure you're getting the same card and for PSU get decent 650~750 PSU like this http://pcpartpicker.com/part/xfx-power-supply-p1750xxxb9
Semi modular and will allow you to overclock everything!

i thought it would be something like 3gbs for 2gbs + 4gbs lol and my local stores dont have xfx psu

only corsair but i dont know which version to get

dandn0ten :

the vram doesnt ad when you sli you will still have 2gb per card. it isnt shared memory between the cards, the cards each still use their own 2gbs of vram to render seperate information in tandum to boost your graphical output ie scaling. the only reason you should need 4gb of vram on each card if graphical applications/3d programming work, gaming on resoulutions above 1080p, and heavy modding

for the psu the one ahmadjon suggested is a great powersupply

and your graphics setup would pull 28.33a on the 12v rail. i would need to know cpu and mobo to calculate the rest and if you have a overclock or plan on it in the future

Yes but 2GB card + 2GB card = 4GB VRAM total

im using i5 4670k overclocked 4.2 with mobo is msi z87 gd65 and the local store that i was talking is microcenter since it is only a mile far away from my house

You have everything to add second card!

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 2, 2014

Ahmadjon :

no no it is not
if you are telling someone they are going to be getting 4gb of vram that percieved as shared memory
doing sli never doubles the vram because each card are processing their own individual images on their own individual vram so if he needed 4gb of vram for graphical work or1440p+ gaming or modding he would be mislead because it is not 4gb of vram

TheUnknownPC · Mar 2, 2014

im not sure if you read my post but i clearly posted a link to that psu

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 2, 2014

dandn0ten :

without the overclock you have 36.3a on your 12v rail now with the overclock you would have around 40 to 41 depending on voltages so i would give some head room and say around45 to 48a on the 12v rail would be a good bet and that is 552 to 576w respectively you will need on the 12v rail. now does your micro center carry tx or hx corsair psus?

Bad_Kitty13 · Mar 2, 2014

i did find this hx it has 62a on its 12v rail and it is a tier 2 powersupply and has the proper 4x 6 pin pcie cables that you need. it is also gold certified to save on some power bills. it is carried by microcenter heres the link
