660ti SLI, I'm so stupid.

werto165

I've just been playing GTA V thinking that my SLI setup was working. *opens MSI afterburner: 0% Usage GPU2..... I didn't click apply. Have you ever had one of those moments where you just fail beyond all recognition. This is my first SLI setup and I'm partially blind so the combination of the two made me think I had extra performance when my second GPU was doing F all.

Why don't you go with a single, better GPU?

I've done that once or twice but I never made the assumption that the second card was faulty.

Ah. I see. Great headphone choice by the way. I personally have DT 990s.

660 Ti SLI is on par with a 780 Ti so it's nothing to laugh at. Also the double post is real, you know you can quote multiple posts in the same post right?

They're alright, I really wanted some open headphones, but I also like to encapsulate myself in the audio, which open back doesn't do when your 12 year old brothers are moaning about the littlest things. I mean the cable was complete dog shite, it broke within 6 months of usage, I'm currently using some crappy aux cable that's at least 6 years old at this point.

I was just quoting OP's post.

Yeah, for open-backed headphones you need to live alone.  :D

Not really seeing the performance gains I wanted to, it's probably limited by the 2GB of VRAM, I can try beamng drive I guess and see if that works, it would run at around 20FPS on max settings, assuming I can even use SLI with an early access title.

Beamng performs like shit on a lot of systems and I wouldn't be surprised if it didn't have an SLI profile. I had SLI 660 Ti's and I remember quite well how they perform.

Sometimes I post twice instead of editing my post. Do you have a problem with that?

It's a bit silly, just edit your posts instead.

Posting twice supports different tonalities per post. One was joking, the other was serious.

I played the Techdemo of BeamNG

 

It's NOT a game, it's an engine.

Yeah, but it's still fun, mods make this game fun, http://imgur.com/a/yEAQk

thats what /s is for.

 

on topic:

a friend of mine has this weird issue where his SLI randomly turns off, its hilareous as a bystander, rather annoying in first person.
