friends questions

[ViruZ_HUN]

Hello!

 

My friend is a rich bastard, And no he wont share his money with me:(

 

So his questions is:

 

He got an FX8350 and OC'ed to 4.5 ghz

and he got some Gigabyte mobo which supports 4 way SLI

 

HE wonders if he can run 4x R9 290s with that setup?

[qwertywarrior]

if it support quad crossfire then yes

but gaming might be horrible on that

tearing jitter etc

[chicksoup]

I would advise against it even if it does work and the CPU would create a bottleneck, but it would definitely be the weak part of the system

[Ivyk]

That will be one very hot case.

He said he had 4 way SLI before and no problem, I asked the same question you just said:)

 

But no bottleneck?

doubt that the cpu would be a bottleneck

Why should your fiend have to share his money? Make your own...

 

Yes, he could run 4 cards. It would really just be for teh lolz, because over 2 just doesn't make much sense performance wise.

go to the motherboard website and see if it ALSO has quad crossfire support

[ViruZ_HUN]

He will fix it, he have 15 years of experience:), and he will buy non refference design so....

Everysthing that supports SLi supports Xfire.

Are you bipolar or something?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Some of you say that Fx8350 "might" be a bottleneck

 

So would a FX9590 be that?

[ViruZ_HUN]

Are you bipolar or something?

NO i am your best friend!

Just tell him to buy the most expensive shit and that you can use his old parts if you want money so badly.

If he does those cards are going to get mighty toasty if they've no extra cooling.

[dragosudeki]

Why not go for dual r9 290xs are 780tis?

[_wky]

He will fix it, he have 15 years of experience:), and he will buy non refference design so....

If he has all that experience why is he not asking the questions?

Why does he insist on AMD? Just ditch two of those GPUs and buy an intel extreme or 4770K and all the cooling you could ever want. Wealth is no excuse to be stupid with your money.

[Paralectic]

Sure, but 4 way Crossfire is a waste as it's as optimized as milk is to slice an orange in the deep desert cold in mid february.

[Face2Face]

4 non-reference cards on air cooling is going to be a throttling disaster... Open air cooling cards in SLI or CFX - Top card runs 8-15c hotter - 4 cards ----- ouch.... Water with full blocks or nope.

[Mao_Zedong]

It would be best to get two or three Titan blacks. Four way sli or crossfire sucks ass!

[qwertywarrior]

Everysthing that supports SLi supports Xfire. 

yes  but  not all quad crossfire motherboards support quad sli (vise versa)

some times u see triple SLI and quad crossfire support

[Izaya Orihara]

Yes i know. But he is telling us that his firend has a quad Sli and now wants to quad Xfire. Your argument is invalid. 

[ViruZ_HUN]

If he has all that experience why is he not asking the questions?

idk, He just asked me to ask this, On this forum, He cant speak english, he is hungarian
