I'm looking for some SLI advice for my rig. My Valley benchmark score is 679 and that's not as high as I'd like it.My current build:![]()
Windows 7 Home Premium x64
Intel i7 2600K
8GB DDR3
Asus Sabertooth z77
2560GB Nvidia GTX 570 (EVGA)
OCZ-Vertex 4 SSD
OCZ ZX Series 850W Fully-Modular 80PLUS Gold
I'm looking online at some, but can't really decide on one. I was hoping someone could sway my choice one way or another. I'm trying to keep it to under $200. Thanks!
another 570 would greatly increase your performance. Obviously you would want to find another 2.5 gig card! I wouldn't pay more than 140$ for one personally! I would either wait and find another 570 for a good price or sell your current card and try and pick up a used 670/680! I've seen them go for 340$ or so on here!Originally Posted by MCleveland89

1920x1080. I'm not looking for an upgrade AND a second one. Just a second one. I'd still keep my 570. I realize I can lower the resolution to improve performance, but it annoys me knowing I can go higher.
I was thinking about another 570. Would it be bad to get one that's not 2.5GB? Would 2 570s be better performance or one 670?Originally Posted by ITS OVER 9000!

Sorry, nvidia fan here.
I never knew that, thanks! After taking all your suggestions, I looked for another one of mine and they're going for close to $300 on eBay. Ouch! So I was thinking of maybe just selling it and buying a 770 as some of you mentioned. I figure I can sell mine for about $300 then buy something like http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130919 or even the superclocked edition http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130946 for another $15 with Splinter Cell Blacklist. Putting another $100-$150 seems like a reasonable price for what seems like a good upgrade. What do you guys think?Originally Posted by maestro0428
I was really happy with my 570gtx when I had it. I am sure two of them will fit well in your set up. The only reason I ended up moving up to 660gtx SLI instead of adding another 570 was efficiency. Be sure to get one with the same memory size cuz the cards actually mirror memory.
There might be some listed for $300 but I doubt they'd sell for that still...for just a little bit more money you can get a brand new 770
Right, missed that. Those cards are gonna be harder to find and as you said more expensive. Maybe a newer generation, single gpu is the better way to go.Originally Posted by MCleveland89
I have the 2.5GB which is selling for a lot more. Like this one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/EVGA-NVIDIA-GeForce-GTX-570-025-P3-1579-AR-2-5-GB-GDDR5-PCI-Express-x16-/111139984546?pt=PCC_Video_TV_Cards&hash=item19e07594a2. There was another earlier that went for $280. The one's going for $150 or so have 1.25GBs.
That's what I was thinking as well. I could SLI the new one sometime in the future but have a good boost right now for a lot cheaper.
