SLI Question, will determine what I do.

squish8294 · Mar 18, 2014

This is my current build: http://pcpartpicker.com/p/1HYVZ

Do I SLI for better performance? Or do I just upgrade? IF I SLI, do I get another IDENTICAL card? Or will a 2GB variant do?

I will be getting an SSD and a new monitor because my current monitor has a bad pixel driver that sends one blue line down the middle left area of my screen. I plan on playing at 1080p

I would just get a better card. a single GTX770 is lots for 1080P

I would not recommend sli instead buy the 770 or 760 for 1080p.SLI configuration usually has more issues than single cards

So I'm assuming that build you have right there is your current one that you are using right now? So you're asking about GTX 760 SLI?

SLI is pretty much the option for if the owner doesn't want to just replace the card and want to make the build last for somewhat longer or if the owner does not have enough budget to upgrade to a brand new card.

Here is a review for you to read through

SLI prefers identical cards. Although, I've never seen, but heard people using same VRAM size variant.
In addition, I would recommend a higher wattage PSU if you're going SLI, but it is not necessary if you upgrade to a new single card configuration.

Many Games Dont support SLI so personally I dont think SLI is worth it. Not to mention how many issues SLI has ( Ok maybe not that many) therefore Id go with a single 770 Or 780 and SLI that when newer games come out

You're better off getting another 4GB card for SLi, which is supported by most games and your PSU is just about enough for two 760's.

Will a Single 54A 12V rail be good enough for SLI?

http://www.jonnyguru.com/modules.php?name=NDReviews&op=Story&reid=169 Source for 54A 12V Rail

Amperage rating of my specific card as per this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1828556/psu-run-gpu.html says 30 amps.

squish8294 :

Two 760's will consume around 320w which is about 27amps.

squish8294 · Mar 18, 2014

So, assuming I could afford to upgrade, up to about as far as a 780 or a 780 ti, which would you suggest, Mouse?

I like SLi rigs as they have a bit of flexibility and the flagship cards are never worth the premium IMHO.
