I just bought a gtx 970 and a new corsair hx750. I was wondering what to do with my old gtx 760? can they run in SLI or would the 970 be held back by the 760? and where is a good place to sell the 760 if i dont keep it or sell it to a friend. 

 

Specs: 

Intel i7-4790

Gigabyte GA-Z87X-OC

4xGB DDR3 1866 G.skill ripjawx

NVIDIA geforce 760

500W PSU (do not remember brand and cant find out right now)

1TB HDD 

250GB samsung evo ssd(not pro)

Windows 7 64bit

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Either sell the 760 or use it as a desk toy. My old 570 is pulling desk toy duty.

Probably sell it or give at as a present to someone. Or frame it and hang it above your bed ;)

i'm not sure about this but, maybe you can use the 760 for dedicated physX?

Not really worth the power; he should just sell it

Sell it, preferably locally on Craigslist or something since people pay a lot more there for some reason.

The 760 could run as dedicated PhysX card, but i don't think there is much benefit.  You might get a few fps, but then the added cost and heat in your system... better to just sell it.  I bet you could get $100 to $150 easy enough.

Why dont you just keep it just in case your 970 stops working right. Always good to have a backup.

What else is there to say i am to n00b to understand computers so yea...

Keep it as a back up. When you get the money, build an HTPC and throw it in there. I'm doing that with my old 660Ti.

The only way you could have sli with those two cards is if they have the same chip and the same amont of vram which they do not have the same chip. So you can't configure it in sli.
