Hello everybody!
My question is about CPU and GPU balance.
I use 2 way SLI with GTX 660 and FX 8150 CPU.
So what i'd like to know is if my processor powerfull enough for this setup?
I don't have a lot of money to go and buy a new one in case it is not powerfull enough,so
the second part of my question is about what should i do to maximise performance with this CPU
and balance it out with my GPU's.
P.S.
In case i need to OC the CPU,i would be grateful if you tell me how to do this
(in my case with AsRock 970 extreme4 mobo) because i'm a newbie in overclocking.

Peace :)

I think that your SLI GTX 660 underperforms. The FX 8150 may be an 8 core cpu, but it has weak performance per core. I would say overclocking would do. You could do this in the bios by raising the multiplier, or you could do this in ASRock Extreme Tuneup (or something like that). i would oc it to about 4-4,5 GHz.

I already tried to overclock up to 4.5 Ghz,but mabye i did something wrong.My OC was so unstable that PC lagged every 30 seconds and Prime95 rejected to launch the test.
I didn't find any good guides how to overclock AMD FX processors,so i have no clue how to do this.Some people say that upping the multiplier value is not the way to overclock Bulldozer architecture processors,and the better perform with bus overclock.And again i dunno what to do with voltages and other stuff :)
