[OCD-FREAK]

hello everyone,

 

i have a Lenovo Y500 with a GT650m (2gb GDDR5) and iam thinking of either buying another GT650m to install in SLI or buy GT750m and add to the GT650m or buy a Lenovo y500 with a GT750m ?

 

so what do you guys think ?

 

any and all opinions are more than appreciated.

yes you can . why not? the lenovo y500 has a gt650m on board and there is an option to add a gt650m in sli or add a gt750m with the gt650m there is on board

Sorry but you can't.

They can't be SLI'ed.

 

And if they could, why?

Then why is there a review with the two 650M in SLI?

I will agree that the 650M and 750M can't be used in SLI though.

Because from what it looks like it has two 650M's, the OP is wanting to SLI 750M with a 650M which CANNOT be done.

The OP is asking multiple questions as to what the better option is.

1. 650M + 650M in SLI

2. 750M by itself

3. 650M + 750M in SLI (which, to your point, cannot be done due to them being different chipsets)

They took the performance of one card and did times it by 2.

Where? At what point in the benchmarks is the 650M SLI just doubled?

I'm not seeing any benchmarks anywhere in that review with a 650M that is just double the regular performance....

No, there are two 650M chips in this machine.
