Hi,
So im a retard, 2 days ago I was asking about SLI GTX970 and yesterday i went and got another Asus Strix 970, ASSUMING that every MODERN mobo supports SLI.
well, we all know what happens when you assume too much, right?!
So my Gigabyte H97-Gaming 3 is Crossfire only
So i went ahead and looked for solutions, and found here on these forums how to enable SLI on CF boards, and i managed to sort of do it, it was enabled in the driver setting but I assume that PCIe v2.0 x4 is not enough for GTX970, and testing Witcher 3 i got 20FPS on SLI instead of my 55-60 without.
I played with it for a day, tried different drivers, nothing.
So I packed the second GPU till I get my new system.
And here is what I want to know, should I wait till August for i7-6700K and Z170 or should I grab i7-5820K right now?
Also please note that by waiting for Skylake ill save some major money by getting the DDR3 version, I have an
excellent pair of x2 8Gb sticks of DDR3 RAM (Corsair Vengeance Pro 2133Mhz)
Also my birthday is in August And Metal gear Solid comes right after in Spetember
TL:TR
Well so which option is better (performance+money) the Broadwell-E i7-5820K 3.3Ghz or the Skylake i7-6700K 4.0Ghz with DDR3 2133Mhz that I already have.
Regards
