SLI performance

[boba99999]

In an SLI build, how much more graphics power do we get in an SLI config? For example will running 2 GTX 750ti double the performance of a single 750ti?

I am on a tight budget so I cannot go for high end GPUs

[SonoDanshi]

Anywhere from 0 to 80% performance improvement depending on how SLI is implemented (or not) by the game devs.

[TeoIzAwezome]

You will get maybe 30% more performance with SLI. You might want to get AMD GPU's (7970's are around 80 bucks on eBay and will play most 1080p games.) as Crossfire has better performance.

I don't think gtx 750 ti is sli compatible

 

EDIT

it's not listed under compatible technologies so no sli for that card http://www.geforce.com/hardware/desktop-gpus/geforce-gtx-750-ti/specifications

 

EDIT2

buy a used gpu

I would warn against doing sli with low end cards...I know you said you can't afford high end GPU's but get a 960...it will cost the same as two 750ti's unless you already had a 750ti I would wait until 1080's and 1070's drop and get a 960 or r9 380 when the prices drop.

gtx 750 ti is not sli compatible anyway

Yeah I was just reading up on that...you posted just before me so I didn't see it as I hit post.

I second this!

I have two 780's in SLI, trust me you don't want the SLI there's a lot of problems more than benefits that comes with it, in some games like Dota 2 it even performs worse when having the SLI activated, If I knew about all this, I would have wait and bought a 980 instead, always always is better a single powerful card instead of two

I have had the exact opposite experience. SLI scaling in every game that matters (or isn't broken as balls) has been really good to me.

 

That said, that is the advantage of top end flagship sli (if a game just doesn't work with it, it's probably a indy/moba that your gpu will trash anyways).

 

I would never recommend SLI when a single card exists that is more powerful than the SLI in most/all situations.

SLI won't ever bring you 1+1 = 2 kind of performance.

There will always be some loose with that SLI.

I second this

Iv never had a problem with Sli (980tis)

every game that supports it has a massive boost in performance with no lag or stuttering

 

games that don't support Sli don't need Sli 

there are no games like witcher 3 that don't support Sli
