I have already checked out some online PSU calculators to make sure my CPU, Disk Drives, and 2 different 970's with everything else can be handled... my AMD FX-9370 with 32 GB of Memory seems to be completely fine with 2 970's in SLI on an 850W PSU... just need some information of whether or not its possible, or even remotely worthwhile to attempt plugging my secondary 1366x768 native monitor into the second 970, while the main Samsung Smart 4k UHDTV is plugged into the first 970 through HDMI... cause with these new games, I guess 4GB of VRAM is essential for 4k gaming at max settings... but clearly, the secondary monitor is throwing the only 970 over the edge... my GPU at the moment has trouble running the newly released Division game on my 4K UHDTV screen with it set at low graphics preset, without my GPU apparently using between 80% of the GPU power and all the way up to 96% GPU power used, according to results on The Division's in game Benchmark testing... the ranges are based on my attempts with it set to fullscreen exclusive and then to windowed fullscreen and just windowed modes... anyways, I would appreciate some advice on if its possible or smart performance wise to get a second 970 4 GB VRAM identical GPU and SLI them, but plug the secondary non-gaming and non-4k use monitor into one, and the gaming exclusive 4k UHDTV main screen into the other 970. Thanks in advance guys!
Edit: I already researched and found out two graphics cards in SLI don't double the amount of VRAM they have, its just that you have two separate GPU's with their original amount of VRAM for each one separately... just wanted to clarify, im asking if its possible to dedicate one of the GPU's exclusively to my 4k UHDTV gaming needs while im gaming on it... and the other GPU to use its own separate VRAM to run the separate Secondary monitor, and basically have that second GPU have its own separate VRAM leftover from the secondary monitor with tons of VRAM to spare for that second gpu's usage alone...
