Worth it

[kes2006]

I saw 2 used gtx 760 with sli bridge included will it be worth it to get those or not my cpu is the ryzen 3 3200g

SLI isn't really worth it now a days since most games move towards single cards, but the 760 is decent depending on the price.

The lowest bid price was 50 euros I think that's cheap for both

That is 50 Euros = 75.78 CAD or 50 Euros = 53.86 USD. That for two cards is actually pretty good for a deal. But what are you using currently for a GPU?

Should I go for it

But first, what are your specs? Cause some motherboards don't support SLI, so if you don't have that you won't have any use for the second card.

What about the PSU? Cause it will use a lot more power for two cards and you don't want be upgrading that after getting it.

Need new board but I have a 750w psu so that will be fine

[Rainbow Dash]

Alright, so I looked around your board and it doesn't support SLI. But you still can get it; it just won't run in SLI but you still can do a SLI hack which is pretty funky so it might have some buggy issues.

I am going to buy a x470 board from asus or asrock that support sli

I meant x470

Alright, but don't let me persuade you though. If you are planning on getting a new board, I would just wait and get a new single GPU since that will run a lot better than a 2GB from 2013 and you won't have to upgrade for a while longer since the GTX 760 is pretty old. Plus you get can always save money and get a X470 with it being cheaper now since you won't any real use for PCIE 4.0 yet.

 

Edit: If you are getting the X470, you can find a great deal with a better GPU together and that would be way better than the dual GTX 760 SLI. Or get a X370 board since there really isn't a whole difference except for faster RAM speed, which will save you so much more money.

Why is it a good deal? Because you're getting two cards instead of one? It's still horrible performance wise, as games don't scale 100% by adding another card and the 760 is significantly worse than an RX 570, which can be had for about $75, or less if you look around.

Why? That's an absolutely horrible idea. You're better off putting that money into a better video card.

Yeah, I know it doesn't scale well, which is why I recommend a single GPU instead. But if you are on a pretty tight budget, and just wanted something to play older titles then it's not really too bad.

Yes it is, when you can buy a single card that's significantly better for about the same price.

It's 100% not worth it if he's upgrading his motherboard to make it work.

True, it's not worth it either to change the PSU either if you don't meet the power requirements. Considering I was looking at GPU prices in Canada it's not really easy to find anything new that meets the same performance, unless you look in the used stuff; maybe lucky enough find some GTX 900 series card.

GPU prices in Canada are entirely irrelevant considering he doesn't live there.

I know, but I was using it more of as an estimation.

You should get a used gtx970 / gtx980 or rx570 / rx580 if you can ... it will perform way better and the extra vram will be a blessing compared to the gtx 760 ...

Thanks for helping but he already sold them I am going to buy a 2070 super
