GTX295 Quad SLI performance

DragonBorn1511 · Dec 30, 2014

WHat sort of performance will the GTX 295 Quad SLI Spit out in todays terms? What single newgen GPU would it be equivalent to?

Its performance will be between the GTX750 TI and the GTX760.

(think you meant 2 cards, since the 295 is already sort of SLI and i don't think you can have 4x GTX295.)

Hmm interesting and yes I meant 2 GTX 295's, however I referred to it as QUADSLI because everywhere I've read calls it that, due to them being dual GPU's.

And by the way, i don't think it is worth running dual 295's anymore because of the power usage, And the fact they don't support DX11 :*(

DX11 isn't my problem.

The problem is the power draw, I'll need an 850W PSU which is £££

It looks like the cards in quad sli would probably have enough horsepower to match a GTX 670 but the low vram would hold it back in newer games. So it would probably perform like a 750 ti 1GB in new games but under ideal conditions it could perform like a GTX 670.

not really worth it by the time I have a SLI Mobo and 850W PSU

If you already have those cards, you could do it. I am still running a single GTX285. Which runs all the games i want to play medium - high settings with 60fps. (Far cry 3, Need for speed most wanted 2012, LoL, WoW) And the low VRAM shouldn't be that big of a deal since a lot of the newest games are DX11 only. So you can't play them anyway. But for DX10 games you should be able to max out a lot of them at 60fps.

I've found a few GTX 295's, £40 each second hand, an 850W PSU will cost £40 over a 550W, then I'm spending an extra £35 on a SLI Motherboard, compared to something like a 270X + a 550W PSU, that's so much more expensive for no performance gains.

I think I'll stick to 1 GTX 295 just for older DX10 games, I play my AAA games on PS4 anyway.

With a single 295 all DX10 games should be playable with good FPS, not all on ultra. But everything should be playable.

I used to have a GTX 680 and I swear, on low 1080p and ultra 1080p, I couldn't tell the difference, and the same went for my HD 7770. So 1080p Low is what i'm aiming for
