Will my system support a second ASUS GTX 760

[Zombi_Fear]

Hi,

Recently I have purchased the new game, Dragon Age: Inquisition. Although it looks amazing even on the current settings I have now (mainly medium/high) I would like to play it in its full glory. To do this i suspect I require more GPU power. Instead of getting a brand new GPU (I only got this one last year December) I would like to SLI my current ASUS GTX 760 and have two of them. I believe my system can handle it but I would like to check. My specs are here with the possible new card: Here

Thanks in Advance

Sure bro. Your PC is strong enough to handle a second GPU. Your motherboard is superb, so thus it can even handle a GTX 770. It can run the game at ultra FPS after you SLI it. Your PSU lacks behind so I suggest you getting a 750 watts 80+ Bronze certified PSU.

you are cutting it a bit close with the PSU,but it can handle it

i would suggest an antec 650W one just to be sure

SIDENOTE- i would remove those keyboards and mice and get a 970 with that budget (your psu will be fine for that)

No - You'd need at absolute minimum a 650W PSU, preferably 700W.
It will run, but pushing your PSU to 85-95% when gaming is a recipe for disaster (plus it's hella inefficient)

Hi,
Thanks for the quick answer. I have one question however. Would this 750W PSU be capable of running my cards well.Here

Surely! It's an 80+ Gold Certified PSU! There are three types of
PSUs ~ Gold, Silver and Bronze. Gold is the best one to choose. Don't hesitate, go for it!

OK thanks. I've purchased it and expect to see it soon!

Actually, there are four (bronze, silver, gold, and platinum) - The label only refers to the efficiency, though (i.e: how much electricity will be wasted at various loads) - it has nothing to do with the maximum load you can place on the PSU.

Oh yeah Werberman, I forgot about the Platinum. The better you buy, the more of efficiency you will get. Platinum has 95-96 % of efficiency I guess. And Gold has 90%. Anyway Zombi_Fear, good to hear that you purchased the PSU.
