That's the point. You'd probably get a lot better performance out of something like a 7700k. Gaming does better with fewer, faster cores.

True. It's very hit or miss

 

It's how GTA V runs. If the load is on the CPU no graphics card will do much. Look at the CPU load.

But GTA V isn't too CPU oriented. I could see with something like BF1 or Cities: Skyline, but GTA V revolves more around the GPU

"Doubling my frames" Can you even do simple math?

SLI Off averaged 37.36 FPS across all passes

SLI On averaged 68.84 FPS across all passes

That's an 84% gain in performance

 

Yes, I can do simple math.

84% isn't double, is it now?

Pretty close, given the numbers. Take off 2 FPS from SLI off (averaging 35 FPS), add 2 FPS to SLI on (averaging 70FPS), you get 100% gains. The difference is close enough to double to warrant being called double through approximation and margin of error.

 

Regardless of how you slice it, it still debunks your story of 1080Ti's being bad at SLI.

Not really. Like I said, your CPU is probably the culprit. Plus, that's 1 game.

See, that right there is what gets people in trouble. GTA V is both, all depends on where you stand. I found a spot GPU intensive, it highlights the advantage of adding the second card. 

 

The 4790kt 4.7GHz where I run mine is right there with a 7700k. Almost all the benefit comes in the form of efficiancy and DDR4 RAM with the 7700k.

The culprit of what? SLI scaling properly, and far better than you claim?

 

Troll harder.

Can't. You're too butthurt. It's physically impossible for me to make you more salty. So I think I'll "troll harder" somewhere else

Well, there was a lot of titles like BF1 and R6S in the list, but okay whatever. 

 

I'm 'addicted to new cards' because of one reason - just take a look at my signature and see if you can find it.

While if I had an mATX system I would try SLI with my 770 and another one off eBay just for the hell of it, I don't.

While it works for you, great! It's cool and it looks fucking dope in a system. Maybe will try it with 950s to see if I can push 970 performance?

 

But the original point we were debating was that SLI was 'perfect'. Anything that requires users to mess with bits and tweak stuff isn't perfect, and one guy with 1080Ti's in SLI agreed with me above. 

If u don't enjoy the messing and tweaking #the best part of having s pc

 

get abfucking Xbox

That's subjective. I'd rather be spending time in-game. The best part of having a PC IMHO is the higher framerates/resolutions, expanded game library, expanded peripheral options and extra uses over a console. But that's my opinion. 

 

And I'd rather be on PC with my friends than talk to 12 year olds that have apparently 'fucked my mother'. And controllers still suck.

Are you litterly retarded mate?

both chips are 4c8t

and there really isn't a lot of difference between them in gaming 

4790k is one of the best gaming chips out 

and beets a 7600k overclocked in gaming

Sli really is for hardware junkies 

fir me best part of having a pc is solving the problems that arise and being able to help others with what I learn 

 

then gaming

Same. It's the reason why I have no problem looking for working AA bits, SLI bits, and possible performance tweaks. More often than not, when I find something I consider useful, I tend to share it with the community so that others can enjoy it as well. Hopefully, by writing tutorials, I'm not only helping to improve the experience of others, but teaching them how to fish as well.

No I think you're the one who's "litterly retarded" mate

Once again, you're objectively wrong.

How does that compare gaming frame rate?

It doesn't. It simply proves that the 7700k is faster.

The 7700k beat the 4790k in most of the benchmarks. Congratulations, you just played yourself

looks to be pretty even to me

Yes, and the 7700k won in most. The times where it didn't were pretty much margin of error, you'd probably have gotten a different result every time you ran the benchmark

But fuck SLI, just save the money and upgrade down the track

 

 

I'd love to hear your suggestion on a single GPU eqivalent to two 1080 Tis... Go on, do tell me what product that exists right now that I can get -- albeit for £1500 ish -- that will be equivalent.
