"What's that noise?"
"I can't hear anything"
"I know, isn't it marvellous "
Let me start by saying MAN are these cards quiet!!! No coil whine and the fans are whisper quiet even when the cards are fully utilized and that, my friends, is a wonderful thing. My PC resides in my living room, just next to my TV which it's hooked up to and if these babies had been loud the boss would have had me move into the cold, scary basement......in the middle of Autumn.
No camera at the moment as the boss is away with the in laws but here's a picture from the web of the card(s)
They have some nice white LEDs on the fans which look pretty awesome and the shade of red actually ties in with my Gaming 5 mobo quite well Triple slot design but sadly no overvoltage capability from what I can see (Unless someone can fill me in otherwise?? Please....??
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
NOTE -
The benchmarks are very rudimentary (no 0.1% low analysis going on here) but instead it'll be a mix of AVG or MIN/AVG/MAX.
I've never used SLI before so mistakes may have been made, for that I apologize, but ask that you enlighten me on the correct way of doing things - I'm never too proud to learn from someone else.
There's not a major amount of recent AAA games in my possession unfortunately, so it's a mix of TPU's downloadable benchmarks from yesteryear plus synthetic benchmarks tonight and some hardcore frapping (Pornhub in SLI vision you ask?? NO!!) on games from my own Steam/Origin/Uplay collection which I'll post tomorrow at some point. Anyone who wishes to donate a Witcher 3 here or a Star Wars Battlefront there....be my guest
Let's get it on.....
Now THAT is the way to spend a lazy Saturday
In game fraps logs tomorrow including Alan Wake,Assassin's Creed 4:Black Flag,Splinter Cell:Blacklist,Crysis, Crysis Warhead, Crysis 2, Crysis 3,GTA V, Battlefield 3,Skyrim (Single & Multiplayer),FIFA 16 and a whole heap more. I'll also give my pros and cons and that should round it all up.
So far I'm extremely impressed and the only game/benchmarks that have been unspectacular are the Batman Arkham games. Both displayed stuttering in SLI on my setup whereas with a single card they are smooth and stutter free.
