Question on SLI configuration

[Kinderboeno]

Hi guys! I'm planning to move to an SLI configuration for my rig. My current card is a MSI GTX570 TWIN FROZR III. What other cards are compatible with it? Gtx 7 series? Because I can't find anywhere that sells the exact model.

No point...dun waste ur $

Like Jian mentioned.

No point. Totally pointless. 2 of the same card the most will give you a performance of GTX760 slightly above.

With more power drawn and need to upgrade your PSU.

Better for you to go for a single more powerful card.

Nevertheless you could not find the same card in market right now. Not unless you look in the garage sales. But i can say dont do it.

Best to go for a single card option.

Wait for 800 series come out. Jitao buy GTX 880. Don't even need SLI.

This year sure come out. Why bother buying 780ti? If buy 780ti now, maybe 4 months later need to change again.

4 months only. Now almost June already. No point spend 1k now, 4 months later sell for 600.

Bo Lang recommend gtx780 ti

But 880 is looking to be small maxwell though like a 680. GM204. Prob only 20% faster than stock 780 ti
