2nd GTX 680,,SLI worth it?
Hey Cowboy,, I have2 Asus GTX 680's.. I am in process of trying to learn how the SoftTH works. When I get mine set up, I can give you I better idea if it's worth spendin the $.. for 2nd card..
My 3 top monitors are all Asus 27" but 1 is a diff model, all same resolution and refresh rate, Nvidia surround will work for the 3,, but when you add 4th auxiliary monitor, surround disables itself!@@!..all 3 have to be identical Models!!(same timing,phase,polarity,as well as refresh rate and resolution). So Do I buy another monitor to get all 3 to match?? OR can I set up proper orientation in Windows, and use those same settings,as posted by GregP , for the SoftTH software??? 4 monitor T set up. http://forums.eagle.ru/showthread.php?t=101614
To answer your Q further,, when using Nvidia surround technology and SLI in a 3monitor set up you will see significant gains,, now adding the 4th in some cases will disable sli and then the multi threading gpu capabilities in game engine become main factor..3+ hrs troubleshooting and visiting with Nvidia tech.. So sharing load between two separate gpu's will give some performance boost.. But if you get SLI to work assigned to the top 3monitors tied 2gether in Nvidia surround then significant gains should be seen. That's the theory anyway.. I'll let you know results.. ThePutzer
