Hello, i currently have a gaming rig with a i7 4770k and a gtx 770 2gb and I feel like its not enough, i record youtube videos and my frames usually drop to 40 on most games on ultra when recording (im aware of shadowplay but i have a xsplit license). So I was wondering if would it be worth sli'ing my 770.
Thanks in advance

Yes it would work to improve performance a lot for physX but in Straight SLI I've always seen performance not increase as much as what the card cost etc.

For just physX you could get a cheaper card than the 770

Iim already running my cpu at 4.2 ghz but if I wanted to increase visual perormance, meaning running games at max settings with 100 fps like bf4 etc. Would two gtx 770 do the job?
I am currently using my cpu for physX, was planning on using the second gpu for it

SLI 770s is a strong setup, but only when its 4GB cards. You are throwing money away in getting two 2gb cards in SLI, you will hit a vram limit long before you hit a horsepower limit.
Look into a single stronger card, though SLI can give performance increases some games do not support SLI, and its often not worth the heat, power, headaches, or extra cost over a single stronger card.

If he just does the 2nd one as a PhysX card it should be fine, otherwise you are probably right and he would before long hit a wall. I've tested on Bisohock Infinite, Tomb Raider, Shogun II Total War, and a few others and so far the most vRAM used has been about 1800MB with max settings, so I don't think 2013 or 2014 games will probably push far past a 2GB limit, and not have much bottleneck from it, but in the next few years its likely games will be pushing closer to 3GB or higher. Best to get the higher quantity of RAM to make sure your GPU lasts.
