Geforce GTX 780 TI SLI Question

[bob112]

Hi I'm a first time SLIer and I'm Looking to SLI my Graphics card its a NVIDA GeForce GTX 780 TI with 3GB and the Graphics card I'm looking to buy to SLI with mine is a EVGA NVIDIA GTX 780Ti SC 3GB DDR5 PCI-E Graphics Card with ACX Cooler so what I'm asking is will it SLI with mine? I'm sorry if this is a stupid question I mainly use my PC for Gaming and don't really venture inside it

As long as you meet the following conditions, you should be good to go. I would note, however, that fewer and fewer games are still supporting multi-GPU setups. You might be better of staying with a single card solution.

1) Both cards are 780Tis.
2) Both cards support SLI.
3) Your motherboard supports SLI.
4) Your power supply is sufficient to power both cards.

Ah cripe and i just brought some bridges to sli yesterday

 

[bob112]

would it be better to upgrade to a 1080ti or a 1070ti then? my motherboard is an asus maximus VII Ranger if that helps

Yeah a single 1080 ti would be better, plus you can sell your 780 ti to get some money back.

Would the fact that I'm still using windows 7 64 bit affect it at all?

There are still drivers available for Windows 7. But I would strongly recommend upgrading to windows 10.

I have a 650w psu will that run a 1080ti?

 

[Wolfshadw]

Yeah, A quality 650 watt PSU would easily handle a 1080Ti.
