SPecs:
EVGA x58 FTW3 (SLI Ready)
GTX 470 x2 (SLI)
Earthwatts
G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 12GB (3 x 4GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600
Intel Core i7-950 Bloomfield 3.06GHz
Antec EarthWatts EA650 650W Continuous Power ATX12V
For some reason, SLI performs worse in Starcraft 2 than it did with 1 gtx 470. A single gtx 470 can play on maxed settings, and adding a second one makes it lag a little bit on simple effects like a helion shooting. I just got the second one installed a few days ago and I am not sure if it has enough power. First of all, I don't know if my psu is good enough, and second, I am powering the second gpu with 2 molex adapters to provide more 6 pin connectors. Both of the molex things are connected to 1 power supply cord (because it has 4 or 5 connectors to do that). Is that bad? The only way I can even plug my second gpu in is by using the molex 6 pin converters because my psu only has 2 normal 6 pin cords (both are being used to power the first gpu).
Any thoughts?
