Nvidia SLI question.

fun4678 · May 2, 2014

Hi I have the AsRock extreme3 970 motherboard and I currently have a PNY Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 1gb edition. I was wondering if I could SLI 2 GTX 650's? And if I could do I have to use PNY with PNY? Or could I use say PNY with a Gigabyte GTX 650?
All help is much appreciated!
Thanks,
Jon

Any 2 650s should be fine. The SLI will result in the sli running at the slowest of them's clocks and having the lowest ram.

Okay thanks because I don't know if and when my graphics card will stop selling in stores. And you are SURE that I can SLI a GTX 650 1GB?

sorry to say but the 650 does not support sli

i7Baby just said It can...

If you look at the specs on the nvidia site the list sli for their cards under "other supported technology". The gtx650 does not have sli listed there. I don't think that card can do sli.

Okay thanks for the help guys!

Well he is wrong. the only gtx 650 that supports SLI is the GTX 650 Ti boost. The gtx 650 and gtx 650 ti do not support it. If you look at your card you will notice that it is missing the SLI connector.

Does it have the sli bridge connector on top? Back in the day nvidia allowed cards to sli even without a bridge but I don't think the driver will allow it to be enabled anymore. Now sli connector no sli.

I don't have the connector... Well that sucks

http://www.club-3d.com/index.php/products/reader.en/product/geforce-gtx-650.html says 'To protect against dust and ESD Club 3D provides protective caps on the video outputs, SLI connector(s) and PCB goldfinger of the graphic card and can prolong the lifespan of your graphic card by up to 65%.'

So I gather it does support SLI. Anyone got a link to where it says it doesn't?

fun4678 · May 2, 2014

I'm not near my desktop right now but I don't remember seeing any other connector I'd love for it to support SLI. I just need to know if it can. I guess that does mean it can support SLI. I have the PNY Geforce GTX 650. It's not on the list at Nvidia's website. This is a hard one

i7Baby · May 2, 2014

I think they may be right and that club-3d is wrong. My apologies

fun4678 · May 2, 2014

Haha thanks anyway dude. It's a pretty good card for what I do anyway.
