GPU Help

[Turtus]

I'm looking to have 2 GPUs in SLI. I just want to check that these 2 cards would work together and work as they are intended to under full load with a 650W power supply.

 

Card 1 - EVGA GeForce GTX 970 Superclocked ACX 2.0 - https://www.pccasegear.com/products/29313

 

Card 2 - EVGA GeForce GTX 970 SSC GAMING ACX 2.0+ - http://www.evga.com/Products/Product.aspx?pn=04G-P4-3975-KR

 

Power Supply - Corsair RM650 - http://www.corsair.com/en/rm-series-rm650-80-plus-gold-certified-power-supply

 

 

Thanks

They would but sli 970s is dumb, get a 980ti or if you NEED 2 GPUs get 2 390s

GTX 980Ti performs the same, generates less heat, uses less power, and has 6GB of VRAM.

Please don't do GTX 970 SLI.

One single faster card is always better than two slower ones, but if you already own a 970 and need more performance, they will work.

They have a 650w power supply, why would they put themselves in a position to have to buy two cards and a PSU when they can buy just one GPU?

OP, you're somewhat limited in VRAM by using those two 970s in SLI but it would work. Selling the 970 you have and getting a 980ti is an option too. What resolution do you plan on gaming at over the next year or two?

 I already have 1 970. The 1 listed as card 1. I am not going to buy a brand new 980ti as I can't afford it.

Yes I have 1 970 already. The 1 under card 1. But will the 650W power supply affect the preformance of both the cards at all?

Already have 1 can't afford the 980ti.

PSU´s have no impact on the Performance itsself. They deliver enough Power or they dont. In your Case everything should run just fine.

[App4that]

A 650w PSU might be OK but I'd see if anyone here has 970s in SLI with a 650w.

But yeah I'd totally do it.

Ok so if I don't do any heavy overclocks and I leave everything how it is in this build http://pcpartpicker.com/p/xRCx7P and just add Card 2 to the build everything should be fine?

Well. No overclocking would be the best. Since outside of stock clocks can make power consumption shoot up(not too drastically) And you only have a 650w unit so not much of a headroom there. Your system will run fine on stock.
