Hear me out! Pls!

I know I'll get poked at a little for this, but it may be worth it.

I have an EVGA GTX 760 2mb w/ACX.
I wanna give SLI a try. Even If there's a better option, I've never tried it and just wanna.

It seems most people will recommend something in the 700w power range for this.

Well I already have a Corsair TX650. It's a solid little PSU.

If I don't OC the GPU's at all, and make sure the power to my i5-3570k is at stock, could I be within safe ranges?

Yeah you should be fine. No overclocks should max out at around 550W at most.

Since your just wanting to try SLI for the fun of it, I won't poke you too much. 😀 But the only advantage to adding another 760 is if your going from 1080P 60hz to 1080P 144hz.

The 760 is a really good card on its own, I had so much arse ache adding a second one that it just isn't worth it.

This is my first "real" PC. Everything else has been from best buy's under $500 shelf.
I'm already extremely happy with my graphics, but if I can pick up a slightly used 760 for $150 and go from high to very high on GTA O, I'll be EXTATIC!

 

[DaddyBradley]

Wait! What? What you mean it was a pain in the ass? I was under the impression it was pretty plug and play these days.

Unless they are 4gb cards you will run into a vram limit.

Yeah its simple to set up but some games just simply wouldn't work, others developed strange glitches etc. Bf4 fps had a massive increase without vsnc on but one card already plays it maxed smoothly at 60 fps so the second card for me was pointless, plus I had 2gb cards which limited my potential performance increase in a lot of games
