d6bmg Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 I'm thinking that a pair of these will be great on my FX-8350 system. I'll wait for a while to see what non-reference cards add to the performance. Good review by the way. Thanks 2x GTX650ti boost? Then why not a HD7950 or HD7970 or GTX670 instead? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
RealNeil Posted April 1, 2013 Posted April 1, 2013 why not just get a single card? albeit a faster, better one for the same money ? I've got a motherboard with two X16 speed PCI-E slots on it. Why not use them? Your point is valid, but I want to use SLI in this case. My main rig has an EVGA GTX-680 in it and it's pretty cool.

I really don't think you can go wrong with a pair of them running at 1920x1080. I have not run a pair in SLI but the scaling should be pretty good as seen so far with SLI vs crossfire.

RealNeil Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I'll be using a 27" ASUS screen with them, so it should work well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddie Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 The size of the screen is irrelevant, the resolution is what matters here. I'm guessing its 1920x1080. why not just get a single card? albeit a faster, better one for the same money ? I've got a motherboard with two X16 speed PCI-E slots on it. Why not use them? Your point is valid, but I want to use SLI in this case. My main rig has an EVGA GTX-680 in it and it's pretty cool. Because of the extra heat, power usage etc..

RealNeil Posted April 2, 2013 Posted April 2, 2013 I know that the screen size isn't what matters. It's just not a dual or a triple screen setup. (it's resolution is 1920x1080) As for heat, it doesn't matter with the air flow I have in my case. I'll accept the extra power usage if I buy them. They will not be OC'd (not much anyways) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
