ram frequency for SLI graphics and o/c

[robbo1]

what is the best ram frequency to use on an SLI setup of gtx770's and o/c as well

it will have little difference appart from benchmarks i would go for as high as you can go over 1800.

what is the reason for going as high as I can over 1800,is that for over clocking or just the benchmarks

I was thinking of 1866 anyway

yea there is little noticable difference going from 1333 to 1600. i would go for anything over 1800 eg 1866 just for overclocking and bottle neck relief

sorry I am a little new to this,what causes the bottlenecking?is it the SLI,wouldnt 1600mhz be fine if it was a single gpu?

1600 will be fine for both sli and single. just as a precaution i try to run higher ram frequencies just to make sure nothing on the ram side is holding it back. in 3d mark fire strike 1866 to 1600 will have a 100-200 point difference its not huge and would be lucky to equal 1-2 frames in most modern games. i just think if your going to spend money on a high end system with sli you may as well get the ram to be above what most would class as average and by going to 1866 you are heading towards enthusiast class preferred frequencies
