SLi GTX 970

[Zamolxe1987]

 Hello

 

Im new on the forum.I read a lot of good stuff here and i wanted to ask u guys a question about a Gainward GTX 970 SLi.I have this configuration now:

CPU  -Intel Core i7 2600K 3.40GHz box

MBOA -ASUS P8P67 Deluxe rev. B3

GPU  -Gainward GeForce GTX 970 Phantom 4GB DDR5 256-bit

RAM  -Corsair Vengeance 8GB DDR3 1600MHz CL9 Dual Channel Kit

CCPU -Noctua NH-D14

PSU  -Corsair Professional Series Gold AX750

SSD  -OCZ Vertex 3 Series 120GB SATA-III 2.5 inch

HDD  -WD 1.5TB SATA-III 7200 rpm 64MB Caviar Black

CASE -Cooler Master HAF 932 Advanced

 

And i want to buy another GTX 970 but my main question here is the CPU, MB and PSU that i have will sustain a GTX 970 SLI?  

The performance will drop considerable because the MB is pci-express 2.0?

Is the PSU enough for this SLI?

Excuse my english if i made mistakes and i hope u guys can help me with your advice,because im sure u know much more,then me regarding this subject.

Yes, all of your hardware will take a GTX 970 SLI setup with no sweat and you won't be noticeably bottlenecked by PCI-E 2.0.

PSU - 750 watts is enough

MB - Supports up to 2 way SLI

CPU - I think it has enough lanes

The reason that i want this SLI is to play in 2K i think with this configuration a 2K gaming is posible.Don't u think?

What do you mean by 2k?

What do you mean by 2k?

I'd guess most people mean 2560x1440, which definitely isn't 2K but is more 2.5K.

Yeah that's why I asked, because 1920x1080 is technically 2k, but then there's some confusion on how the naming scheme works for whatever reason.

[Zamolxe1987]

Yeah im reffering at 2560x1440.The vast majority of people say that is 2K.And that is why i what this GTX 970  SLI for gaming in this resolution because i know in higher res 2x970 can t handle,at least can't handle with some high settings.This is the monitor that i have in mind to buy  Acer Predator XB280HK

[incarnate]

a single 970 can handle 1440p pretty well. sli 970s would be way way more than enough

[CalebTheEternal]

Even 1 can handle it. I could play 5760x1080 on a single card. SLI can run that easy. Make sure your PSU has enough GPU power cords. You will need 4 six pin if each GPU uses 2 6 pins. I almost made that mistake
