Go to solution Solved by Thecrazyswede,

I got my tax refund back, and I am trying to decide between getting a 770,

or getting a second 760 and running SLI

 

I have heard many times that Linus prefers single card setups, but I was curious what the true flaws are to it, and what everyone thinks

 

The flaws are for some games will not use more then one card, increased heat output, driver instability, and power draw.

 

the gains are POWWAHHHHHHHHH and aesthetics

Definitely 770 SLI

I personally don't enjoy 9-string guitars, but that doesn't change the fact that they look awesome as hell!
