Hey whats up guys, im brand new to this site/forum, but im looking forward to joining in as this seems like a very helpful and knowledgeable group of people.
I just got into the whole custom PC seen a few weeks ago, switching from an xbox 360, mainly so I could play BF3 and D3 when they came out.......Im really liking my computer so far and everyday it seems like im going somewhere to find and buy new things for it, Im always customizing everything. I got a Phantom 410 case, 3770k, msi GD-55 mainboard, 16gb 1600mhz corsair vengeance ram, coolermaster hyper 612 cpu cooler, antec 750 psu, 120 gb corsair force GT SSD. 1 TB WD 7,200 hard-drive, and last but not least 2 msi geforce GTX 670's OC edition. I had a lot of trouble SLI'ing these as the benchmarking programs that came with the msi mainboard would not recognize the 2nd GPU....i had to do a lot of researching before i could come up with an answer, when i first installed the 2nd gpu it wouldn't even put any load on to the 2nd gpu. Now i think i got it all up and running, i have the SLI indicator on in the nvidia control panel, and it showing both cards have around 90% load, which i think is normal. Anyways, on to the question.
Is there any tips or any general things i should know about SLI? Settings in Nvidia control panel, settings in games, over clocking the cards via afterburner utility, and especially your guys setup's, like what kind of settings/ cards are you running and what basically you did to improve performance. Any and all tips and experiences would be greatly appreciated, my setup/ pic of my rig is my avatar. Thanks in advance, im looking forward to becoming a contributing member and to gain valuable info about custom gaming rigs, custom modifications, and gaming rigs.
