Okay so NVIDIA has more information on the 750 ti now and on their site it says it is around $120 now that is really cheap for a card that beats my 560 ti. Sometimes found for more than 120. So would buying 2 750 ti. ASUS with two fans be better in SLI then the 760. I mean doesn't it use Maxwell which should be a whole new number anyway? 800?

I mean doesn't it use Maxwell which should be a whole new number anyway? 800?the card does NOT HAVE the sli slot for the SLI bridge adapter. HOWEVER two cards CAN be configured in the DRIVERS for software PCI-e slot sli. nvidia said this same thing about the gt 440 and yet people have configured them to run in software sli. you have a choice to configure the second card as a physx only or for sli.
Really? Do you have some information we can see where this has been done?
Nope cause everyone is relying on every other person saying it does not work. sli can run in software mode too. the pci express bus can handle that. also AMD just released the r9 285 and also does not have the crossfire bridge, yet it runs in crossfire. people wont try if someone else told them no. when i find the videos on youtube, ill be sure to come back and show you.
Yes it does work in SLI through software mode, but this feature is only on the driver before March 2014 like I said. Here's a link where I found a guy saying HardwareLuxx.de did it. http://www.overclockers.com/forums/showthread.php/74663... just scroll down until you find it.

Guys, I just found out it IS actually possible using Nvidia's drivers. Sorry for posting so late but I just HAD to share this, so here's how. You need to use a GeForce driver before March 2014 for it to work, but this is just what I heard so don't take my word for it. But I do think it's possible and I will try it, also for those who say SLI needs an SLI bridge, remember the 7100 card? It SLIs without an SLI bridge.

sorry to disapoint but it is 100% possible. It just takes 2 programs (one for windows and one for mainboard bios) from a korean website to make the gpus both work together as in possibly called matter of sli.
This is but 100% unsafe and may cause a lot of cpu and gpu strain if not even ruin the mainboard. It is as well unstable and unreliable.
as I did not begin with this conversation I won't post the link to the apps because I don't want to get baned for having people try to ruin their pc nor do I recommend for people to try that unless someone shows real life proof of 100% stability and safety (which no one will be able to do now
) ).
as mentioned above this is completely unsafe so it should be avoided.

I'd be very interested in that possibility. When I started to read the review for the 750 Ti on this site, I thought it would be perfect. I'm looking for a decent-ish GPU for my build that I'll hopefully double-up on down the road. And power consumption is an issue for me (I have an older case/PSU that I don't want to replace, and I live in an off-grid house so I try to keep my power footprint very small).
But then I got to the point in the review where it mentioned no SLI support. Gutted!
Any confirmation on whether or not it's possible to run two of these cards together? Or any thoughts on a comparable card with an SLI slot? Thanks.
It is NOT possible. That's why I asked for proof. Nvidia just doesn't support SLI without a bridge connector.
