New Crossfire setup for skrewy
« on: Monday, August 01, 2011, 04:01:13 AM »
Soon I am ordering in 2 GTX 570s for skrewy. The 2 GTX 570s are about 10 - 15% more powerful than a single 6990. Skrewy wanted me to post this just so his E-Peen would be bigger.

This.
 Did you mean SLI? Because you can't crossfire Nvidia cards.

Also.... you can't SLI on older AMD boards without that hack... lulz.

Seems like overkill for faggotry LOL and other RTS games. Guess I'm just butthurt that I couldn't afford even 1 570, not that I'd want to.

Also two 570's use like 20% more power than one 6990. That's a lot of power usage for 10% more speed.

Twice the card space, lot more heat, more PSU cables and not to mention more strain on the PSU for having to distribute that power over more cables.

*shrugs* skrewy's money knows best though.

My bad on the sli, was originally going with 2 6970s but changed my mind after finding out they use 4 psu cables over 2.

The 570's in SLi use 4 PSU cables too...
