Can I run these two graphics cards in SLI?
Last response: in Graphics & Displays
I just recently got one of these http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125422&Tpk=gigabyte%20gtx%20680
I was just wondering if I could run that in SLI with say the Galaxy GTX 680, would that cause any problems? Or would I have to get another of that exact model? Also, on a side note, if at some point I got two of these, and a 120Hz monitor, would that fix any tearing problems I am having with this single 680? Would turn vsync on in an SLI setup on a 120Hz monitor work well? Thanks in advanced.

It doesn't really matter if you mix brands of cards. VSync should work with 120hz.
What games are you getting screen tearing in and do you have vsync turned on?
Well so far I've only tried three games, and I get tearing in all of them. I've played Battlefield 3, Starcraft 2, and Diablo. As long as I have vsync turned off in any of those games I get tearing, and a lot of it. Although, the second I turn vsync on, it all goes away, except for the occasional skip in D3 which isn't that bad really.
Yes you will be able to run the gigabyte 680 with the galaxy 680 in SLi.
I'm running 670 SLi on a 120hz monitor and I get zero screen tearing.
A 120hz monitor won't "fix" any screen tearing but it will mean you can display up to 120fps with vsync off without getting any screen tearing.
If you are playing a game where the 680s are producing more than 120fps, then enable vsync and this will prevent any screen tearing.
Hope this helps.

I did test out the single 680 on a 120Hz monitor and it didn't fix screen tearing at all? Would dual 680's fix it for the most part? I'm just wondering if there would be a vast improvement when it comes to screen tearing, if I were to run them in SLI.

Where you playing a game with more than 120fps without vsync turned on?
