Hey everyone!

Im playing in 1080p. I got a great deal for 200 dollars for 4 gtx 680's.
What performance to expect in 1080p games with 3 or 4 way sli?
 
Solution
Personally, I'd keep two of the GTX 680s and sell the other two. Unless you have a top-of-the-line motherboard and PSU, and you have a collection of games that can utilise more than two GPUs, you're wasting your time.

That is a bloody good deal though!

Not very big improvement from 2x sli. First of all crossfire or sli isn't too optimised in games and most of old games won't benefit from this function. Secondly 3-4 gtx 680 will use too much power. I'll recommend you getting maxim 2x gtx 980 to because the rest of the power from the other cards won't be used. In multiplayer more than 1 card is money waste. In online games cpu matters more.

that is a great deal 200 dls for 4 gtx 680 the best you can do, it' s buy it and resell it and bought a new graphics cards any top one of the brand you like it more. It' s a waste of time, money 4 sli. Not all games support it and not all the developers are interested on doing it. So better go for high end graphics cards. Also note why this person is selling these cards so cheap, maybe were overclocked a lot and have less lifetime that you think, keep in mine also if you bought it for resell it.

It also comes with EK waterblocks on all four of them, also a reservoar, pump and radiator. I would consider using two of them, but what performance against the r9 290x will i see with two or three of them in sli?
