560 ti sli

[Thermosman]

I am considering getting a 2nd 560 ti off ebay for 20$. I was wondering if anybody knows what performance I can expect from it, and how good is the scaling?

Scaling depends on the game rather than the cards. With only 1GB VRAM though many games that dont run well now wont improve with the second card added

The performance wont be double by any means but it should be better. Randomgaminghd did a video on this with 550 ti's 

I would personally try and sell one and then use the extra for a new graphics card thats more powerful. I was able to get my gtx 760 2gb for $40 which is less than the money you would make by sellng these and its a good card compared to the gtx 560 ti http://gpu.userbenchmark.com/Compare/Nvidia-GTX-560-Ti-vs-Nvidia-GTX-760/2180vs2159

 

I hope i helped!

Performance in games, you wont see much of an improvement. Syntheic benchmarks, yes

[Rolling Potatoe]

Scaling depends on the game and gpu utilisation, probably around 60-70% improvement average if it works as intended.

Benchmarks and a few games will scale with 90%+ while many games will not work or have no noteworthy scaling.

Loved it when I had them but that was when they were current and the 6xx series were out. Depends on the vram needs of the games you play.

yeah, this is temporary, as I can get an ok performance boost for only 25$ while I save for something better

A single GTX 560 Ti is about 40% slower than a GTX 1050. If the games you play scale with SLI, you can expect up to GTX 1050-ish levels of performance. The only problem you might face is the lack of VRAM.

 

Also, scaling depends largely on the game. A number of older games have decent scaling. Newer games scale fine as long as you're not using TAA or hitting a CPU bottleneck.

 

What games are you planning on playing?
