I have a 970 right now. It does pretty good in most games with decent settings but I'm getting tired of dialing back options and trying to find the sweetspot in games to get the most out of my card while keeping 60fps. I often find myself either on the very edge, 90% usage and higher while maintaining 60 until I turn the camera a certain way or something then all of a sudden fps drops happen and it just isn't pleasant or else I end up dialing a setting or two back that I really don't want to and usage is goes down considerably, lets say 77%.
I have someone I can buy the same exact card that I have for $175. I bought my original for $330. So I would have spent $500 on SLI 970s. It is either that or sell my 970 , eat the $150 loss and get a 1070Ti which would put my total spent on a 1070Ti around $600-700, which just seems ridiculous to me.
I play at a locked 60fps vsync off @ 1080p.
Most of the games I play support SLI. Doing this for the eye candy @60fps. Not for high frame rates.
I would only have 1-slot between the two GPUs. I would copy my current modded bios from my card and be flashing it to the new card so they have the same BIOS.
I will also be changing the thermal paste on everything when I do this.
Anyone have any useful recommendations, settings, tweaks or maybe even helpful websites that talk all about SLI and how to properly use it.
