Posted January 10, 2014 No, but what are your questions? I might be able to help, and if I can't, maybe other members may. I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it.

Posted January 10, 2014 what were u running? it was a client build that i had for about a months worth of testing and oc'ing lol it was 4 780's though, in the time that i played with it i loved it there was nothing i couldnt play maxed out save for the odd game with bad sli profiles but out of the games i actually enjoy playing which was crysis 3 multiplayer bf3 at the time and metro last light everything was butter smooth didnt have a problem. also tested other games like borderlands 2 and skyrim and whatnot of course. didnt have any issues in my time with it and considering said client is a close friend and i talk to him every day he said hes extremely happy with it and has yet to have any issues or regrets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 10, 2014 I was just wondering if they had any major issues and if they were happy with the quad set up? Oh, well in that case, I can't help you very much. I've never had experienced 4-way SLI/CrossFireX, so I can't say anything. Sorry mate... I wish I could've helped you more. I like the color scheme of Noctua fans. Deal with it.

Posted January 10, 2014 Quad SLI is incredibly stupid, but with that said I recommend quad SLI if you want bragging rights and amazing fps (sometimes).

Posted January 10, 2014 SLI generally doesn't scale past 3 iirc. Like it's what, a 1 to 5% gain with a 4th?

Edit that wouldn't bother me, I like small form factors (350d) and would like to get the most I can out of the 2 slots as long as its not to much of a Hansel and I get an ok performance increases Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 10, 2014 sweet man I was looking at getting 2nd 690 for 2560x1440 gameplay and wanted to get feedback from people who have used quad sli ok well i personally had a dual 690 setup actually before doing that client build and it was wicked i loved it sold both cards to a friend cause i wanted more vram for skyrim mods sadly skyrim crashes when its outta vram and my mods take up almost 3gb vram hahaha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 10, 2014 I have and can with my 780 TI's It was a mess of problems @ 4. So right now I'm running just the 2 and sometimes 3 when I need it. You know 3 is superior in almost every way right? Lower frame times and better performance overall, I'd recommend switching to it if you can.

Posted January 10, 2014 Not sure about problems, but I think with SLI comes micro stuttering any config past 2 way SLI, scaling turns to shit and some games don't support any type of SLI.

Posted January 10, 2014 sweet man I was looking at getting 2nd 690 for 2560x1440 gameplay and wanted to get feedback from people who have used quad sli You don't need quad or tri sli for 1440p I play BF4 maxed out with AA at 2x (all you need) on two HD 7950s, and my average fps is around 90 on my Qnix. I mean if you have the cash you can spend it, but I really wouldn't recommend it. CPU Overclocking Database <------- Over 275 submissions, and over 40,000 views!
