x2 GeForce GTX 295 on Gaming is it Good or Bad?

[Mike Kouroumlis]

Hello...
I've got a very complicated Hardware and I need some advice.
First of my specs are:
GPU: Gigabyte GeForce GTX295
CPU: Intel Core 2 Extreme QX9650
Motherboard: Asus P5KC
Memory: 4GB DDR2 (That's about to change to 8GB)
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium 32bit (I will upgrate them to 64bit after picking up my new RAM)
PSU: 1500W
Cooling System: I've got a non-industrial (By saying non-industrial i mean that it didnt come with the CPU) fan for my CPU cuz it is a well known "overheater". I have 4 seperate fans along with the one that the Graphics Card has!

So my question after my full Spec Info is that If I could have another GPU same as the one I have now; would it be a bad idea placing it along with the one i have now? Like having two Graphic Cards on one Monitor. Will it have better performance on Videogames? (For example Watch_Dogs)

Thank you!!! :lol:

Well your motherboard doesn't support SLI because the first x16 slot runs at full speed but the second runs at x4, i.e. not up to nvidia's specs for SLI.

So you couldn't even add a second 295 if you wanted to. The 295 isn't a terrible card, it should run Watch_dogs at a decent clip (assuming Watch_Dogs supports DX10).

You could always sell the 295 and get a newer DX11.2 card like a 270X or GTX 760 and enjoy Watch_Dogs a lot more.

Allthough is it still a good idea placing to 295s on another motherboard?

Thank you for helping
