Hey LTT-ers

 

Hoping to get another GTX 760 soon, my motherboard supprots crossfire but doesn't support SLI out of the box, do you think it will be able to support 2 way 760s or am I taking a chance? I've heard that motherboard without SLI support have been known to work. Thanks in advance everyone!

You may be able to tweak the drivers, but theres a 99% chance that SLI wont work at all unless the board is confirmed by nVidia.

Thanks for the snappy response. Ahhh, looks like I'll have to take my chances - might end up with a useless 760 though until I get a new mobo. If I do end up getting it I will post my results of what happened. :P

Nah, It's the OEM 192 bit version and they don't go for as much. Also a 760 is only worth about £150 if you go on ebay - even new ones
