Need SLI assistance

[Mini Van Dan]

So I currently run a computer with a AMD Ryzen 1500X, a GTX 1060 6gb, and 8gb's of ram, on a 550watt psu. I was just wondering if I were to setup SLI if the 550watt would be enough or should I upgrade? Also being Nvidia, what else would I need other then the SLI bracket? Is there anything else I'll have to buy other then another card? Or once plugged in and hooked up will it automatically adjusted to SLI or will I have to change the settings?

Hardware wise the 1060 cards do not support SLI there are software options such as different SLI auto, but you would certainly want a better PSU, but at that point you may as well just grab a 1070 or wait for the next gen cards.

1060's cannot SLI.

You should only ever use SLI if you can't make a step up to a better card. Don't SLI 1070s. Buy a single 1080Ti.

You shouldn't be buying SLI unless it's two Titan XPs or two 1080Tis.

Even then, the value proposition is questionable at best. So many modern games run on Unreal 4, which only supports SLI via AFR (it's terrible).

Yea you can’t do it with those cards. Wait to find a good deal on a pair of 1070’s. 

 

And get a stronger psu.
