GTX 570 SLI to something better.

[john chambers]

I am in a simalar situation where Linus was with his computer but I dont have GPU's  laying around I have actually  to pay for the stuff no pun inteded Linus .  I have a GTX 570 SLI setup. what setup should I move to it needs to last me 2 years.  buget is $1000 for some form of SLI including water blocks. I have a watercooled PC like linus. GTX 570 sli has

the same performance as a 590.

i'd say cf 290 or sli 780.

How about 290s in Crossfire?

[Notree]

 2 X R9 290 HANDS

i'd say cf 290 or sli 780.

sli 780s wouldn't fit in budget, he needs waterblocks

[dragoon20005]

easily 290 CrossFire 

 

thou you need to tell us your other PC specs like your CPU and mobo

[RubyRoks]

If you can get AMD's driver's working properly, dual 290's aren't bad. I have had AMD driver issue in the past, so i'd put my money into dual 770's/780's personally.

dual 770's I would say, best bang for buck thats if you're sold on going SLI, otherwise id go a single 290x/780Ti

I have to trade SLI for SLI 1 card is not enough of a upgrade the performance difference seems too small.

what is your other PC specs?

 

it will sound that you are using some custom water loop

3570K 4.4 GHZ

 

Asus P8z77-V pro

 

HX 1050 PSU

 

Swiftech H220 with duel rads

 

16 GB DDR3 1600 corsair RAM

 

500 GB samsung 840 EVO RAID0

 

WD 1TB black to back up the raid 0

with your rig

 

i will suggest picking the 290 as they go the best price/performance ratio

Did AMD get their cross fire issues fixed?

Do not EVER use GPUboss for anything other than comedic purpouses.

 

2x GTX 570s are a force to be reckoned with still, however, the VRAM bottleneck is very decisive when running games from 2011 and newer and trying to use maxed textures, shadows and AA.

 

So while on paper 2x 570s may be core-wise stronger than a single 760, when you actually use a single 760 you will see a huge performance increase in all those games you were struggling with. A single graphics card will be enough for you to notice a big difference. I recommend a single R9 290, and upgrade to Xfire later if you're somehow not pleased (but you will be)

Here is the card I am thing about getting. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150697

near 780 performance cheaper also. I have a HX1050 PSU. What is the power consumption like on these cards?

 

I had a xfx 5770 in the past with zero issues.

the quality control for the XFX cards have dropped 

 

if you can afford a bit more

 

pick the Sapphire/MSI 290 GPUs

[john chambers]

I am thinking about the GTX 970 in SLI
