Hello everyone,
I've had an EVGA GTX 680 2 GB since about the time it was released (replaced a GTX 285).
I recently bought a pair of extra monitors to do 2D surround. It works fairly well, but at 5760x1200 my frame rates are a bit pokey compared to before.
I'm guessing my cheapest way to improve performance is SLI. My card looks like this (not my picture):
That is a reference design GTX 680, right? I can buy a used Galaxy GTX 680 2 GB that is also supposedly reference design. I'm assuming there shouldn't be any SLI issues between these two cards, is that correct? (Or are there weird potential problems like BIOS versions?).
For what it's worth, I'm running a Asus P8Z68-V Pro with an i7-2600k at stock speeds. I have a beefy CPU cooler and I'm also considering doing some CPU overclocking. Is this worth the effort in terms of frame rate improvements with SLI 680s?
Thanks!
