Sli?

[kaylexmorgana]

I think this is a yes but I need to be 10000% sure so I don't blow 500$ on nothing

Can I sli a evga and a Enthusiast 780?

[DoubleY]

An Enthusiast 780? What?

 

But yes, you can SLI them. But just get another EVGA 780

[TheSLSAMG]

You can, but why not get another PNY Enthusiast 780/EVGA 780?

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

i urge you to not SLI ,a single tougher Graphics Card is always better than two ,why no get a single 690 instead ? Dual 680 GPUs ,Kepler architecture ,and it's a single card ,always make dual Graphics cards your last options if all fails ,i'm just saying

690 is a dual graphics card though... It's literally dual 680's in SLI on one PCB.

 

Besides, a single 780 is top of the line. (780ti and anything above that is just stupid)

yes, if your motherboard and case both support it.

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

How does this make sense...

what i meant was what you guys already know ,yes SLI delivers brutal Graphics power , but it's unstable unless using like giant 4K Monitors in surround , every one (including Linus) urge to dodge SLI when ever possible ,add to that you guys know that running Two GPUs off of the same PCB is better then two Graphics cards ,still I know that the 780 is top of the line and an amazing Choice ,and  it's a PNY

A 690 is literally NO different than dual 680's IIRC

 

How is it unstable? SLI hasn't had game-breaking issues since like... Fermi 

[Wiflare]

add to that you guys know that running Two GPUs off of the same PCB is better then two Graphics cards

Provide source please.

AFAIK the 690 has lower clock speeds and worse cooling than 2 680s

What? What is even the point of being able to sli 4 cards then?

you still don't get it my friends ,Dual 780 GPUs ,running at full Clock speeds ,delivers too much processing Power ,Why do you think Some guys Turn a Gpu Off when Running Two High end Graphics cards ? ,or why Manufacturers Cut down the GPUs Clock Speed in a Dual Gpu Graphics Card ? Because it's too much

if it was NO different ,way don't they just take two 680 GPUs ,stack them into the PCB and call it a day ?!

TOO much processing power? 

 

They turn down clock speeds because of thermal limits of the cards. It'd get too hot if they didn't do it.

 

Who on earth turns off one of their GPU's? I have never heard that.

no don't change your words you said it's The same as Dual Graphics Cards ,so way don't they turn it down on a single GPU card as well,if it had  a THERMAL Limit ,as you are saying

[DoubleY]

no don't change your words you said it's The same as Dual Graphics Cards ,so way don't they turn it down on a single GPU card as well,if it had  a THERMAL Limit ,as you are saying

Uhm what? Could you please word that properly so I can understand what you're saying?

Turning off gpus?

please, provide source for both of these.

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

you said it's the same, running 2x 680s as a single 690 ,so if the 690's Dual 680 GPUs has Thermal limits and they have to be turned down ,they should have the same prob with 680 Graphics and they have to be turned down as well,but they are not ,so how  does what you're saying make sense ?? explain

[kaylexmorgana]

I think I should get it then....?

[Willson94]

no don't change your words you said it's The same as Dual Graphics Cards ,so way don't they turn it down on a single GPU card as well,if it had  a THERMAL Limit ,as you are saying

Having two GPUs on one PCB is more difficult to cool than each GPU having its own cooling so they lower the clock speeds on the dual GPU cards 

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

Go watch Linus's 2000$ build Guide ,and see what he said for Graphics cards choice

[helping]

dude what 
 
I think you need to do a bit more reading and lurking before spreading misinformation.

stop listening to Linus, I don't care what that video says. If he says 2+3 = 4, 2+3 still does not equal 4.

Think for yourself instead of citing videos.


this thread is ALL MY WHAT

 

 

 

I think I should get it then....?

 

Yes, you should get a second 780 if 1 really isn't enough. 

[LawrenceBarnes2013]

Having two GPUs on one PCB is more difficult to cool than each core having its own cooling 

well they have put a large Fan in between the GPUs for a purpose ,i would trust them on that ,don't you think

[DoubleY]

I think I should get it then....?

Yes, get it.

 

you said it's the same, running 2x 680s as a single 690 ,so if the 690's Dual 680 GPUs has Thermal limits and they have to be turned down ,they should have the same prob with 680 Graphics and they have to be turned down as well,but they are not ,so how  does what you're saying make sense ?? explain

I don't get how to don't understand how heat works.

Here's an analogy:

What's hotter? Two ovens running side by side or two ovens inside of eachother?

[DoubleY]

well they have put a large Fan in between the GPUs for a purpose ,i would trust them on that ,don't you think

One fan to cool 450ish watts of power? Yea... ok 

 

I've seen a livestreamers 690 hit 90c while playing BF4

sweet ,suit your selves guys   i'm OK with that ,but i would still trust Linus instead of someone else
