well i still prefer one bigger cards than two smaller once, bcs it uses less power :rockout:
and there can be SLi profile issues sometimes using two cards u don't have that with only one ^^;

Check out my SLI setup. Notice anything odd about the clocks?
Note that my Afterburner power settings are the same for the 670 as they are for 680 shown in picture.

A lot of people I know who also bought 670/680 Sli decided to sell them soon as the big boy GK-110(780ti) came out, I'm sooooo glad I didn't jump on the bandwagon, I'm still super happy with my 670 FTW sli performance:pimp:

got some interesting results, with my 680, also on some reviews all the capacities about the card, muscle 680!

How much owners of 600 series left?

Still alive!
I'm running 2 EVGA GTX 650 Ti BOOST 2GB Superclocked Edition cards.
Not in SLI (yet).
They're still quite capable cards - except for Relics of the Past (Zelda BoTW mod)
Planning an upgrade to either 2 780 Ti's or a Titan Z.
Picture:
20210401_213908[1].jpg

I know, I know, messy, but my case has literally no room for cable management (plus I have so much stuff packed inside I'd need 2cm of space in the back of my case to hide them all).

Top card runs 82C max under full F@H load, bottom card runs 78C max under full F@H load.

I repasted them with MX-4 in October.

Honestly.. SLI isn't worth it. I ran two 780's and was having more issues than it was worth. Titan Z is a waste of money to be honest and gets stomped by anything 3xxx or 6xxx. Just wait for pricing to get better and go single.

I don't care too much.
I don't need great performance (max 30 FPS on RoTP and everything else runs fine on my cards) and I'd like to play around with SLI.
Plus AMD GPU drivers do not like my PC and only Kepler has macOS with hardware acceleration support.

I mean, NVIDIA drivers don't like SLI since they disabled it. Maybe Kepler can't run newest drivers, iunno. I'd love those cards for display outputs and NVENC encoding and I dearly miss my 660. Payday is soon..

I was running 461.72 but then I got weird GPU bugs.
So I guess it "supports" it but not really.
456.71 runs fine for me though and that's what I'll stick with.

I guess as long as you don't run into games that are "against it" (less performance with SLI on), no VRAM issues, and don't mind more power draw then sure. I loved the physical look of SLI and a full case but that's been years long gone.

Haha that's fun to see, there's not much SLI happening these days. I went mini ITX a while ago, but before that I had a couple crossfire setups. Idk if multi gpu is really worth it but I fully support it

Yeah I killed off my dream of having a 690 because of all that junk. Maybe if encoding used both GPUs for sure for video editing but meh. I'll go with a 780 or something like that.

My 2 EVGA GTX 660SC 3GB ver that I ran in SLI for 6 years, never a bsd, max temp never exceeded 85C during extreme benchmarking. Ran them in a big CoolerMaster case with good airflow, in combo with 3770k and Asus z77 deluxe mb, 32GB of Corsair Vengeance and EVO 860 512GB boot ssd. I rarely noticed stutter (1080p), but I suspect that’s because of the 3GB of DDR5 ram. Hard to find reviews or benchmarks on these 3GB versions. I know MSI made a TwinFrozer edition. Awesome machine, now using GTX1070.

My CoolerMaster CM 690 II (VER.2), with the Asus Z77 Deluxe motherboard hosting my two EVGA GTX 660 3GB editions in SLI, from 2012-2018. Most fun I ever had. I miss SLI, so sad to see its demise.
