Hi all!
So basically I know this question has been asked alot but a direct answer in my thorough research, that's something I couldn't find
So; I asked my local retailer about the GTX 800 series, quota quote: "one week till 800 series, two weeks really cos supplier talks bull****"unsure if he is serious or not i just thought:
"So now is the time for me to grab a 760 to SLI my current 750, or wait and swap for an 860 or maybe more" ( im thinking of doing so in a couple days or weeks time but before 800 series is out, so I can finalize)????
Basically I currently have a Palit GTX 760 OC (non-jetstream)
and I was thinking of SLI or wait for 800 series.
There were a few things I saw as pros and cons of doing so from my n00by perspective:
pros:
1. The obvious
2. 760 is now very cheap and I was offered a 760 OC ver. for roughly 250 AUD brand new
Cons:
1. Unsure of the cons exactly of SLI even though I have a rough idea of what happens if SLI is not supported (from what I understand it will work with the power of only 1 gpu???)
2. the only 760 the shop I could find that sells PAlit 760 OC like mine is now out of stock but he said a GALAXY GTX760 would work fine, and I am not sure after getting to know NvIdia's strict SLI rules :/
3. unsure if my wattage/PSU would suffice 2 cards, with a future custom water CPU cooling in mind
can anyone answer with what I should do? I have around 500AUD to spare but unsure if i really need a ver very expensive card like a 770 or 780 for only 1 display, and I am unsure if the wattage in my system will be fine .
Specs:
ASRock Z87 Killer Fatal1ty mobo
i7 4770k (proposed OC to 4~4.5ghz..maybe, after the water cooling though)
2x8gb Kingston Fury X RAM
Cooler MAster 750W 80+ gold PSU
Palit GTX 760 OC
tons of fans XD
3hdds plus a samsung evo 128
212x CPU cooler by CM
all put into the monstrous CM Storm Trooper
All advice welcome and much help wanted
PS i thought of the GTX860, or 870 when i refer to waiting for the 800 series
