Hello. Remembered we had a forum here, so I decided to come and officially link my guides here for you people who interested in all these newfangled things like SLI and how video RAM affects gaming. Please note, I DO keep updating the guides regularly as soon as I get more information/tech changes, so they're not stagnant. Last time I updated each was in october. The forum I wrote them on is LinusTechTips' forums, so you don't need an account to sign in and read.

Now I wrote these guides elsewhere and I REALLY do not feel like copying them over and editing them to exactly fit this forum, but you may want to sticky this thread so people can get to the information anytime they want. I would put it in the "announcements and guides" section, but nobody seems to go there and they ARE pertaining to GPUs so... yeah. Anyway, here we go.

The SLI guide, yes.  The entire thing.  As a fan of SLI, it was only fair. :lol:

I must admit, there is a LOT I didn't know about SLI, that I learned reading that.


Well done, sir. :icon_thumleft:

Honestly I'm a bit of a fan of SLI too. I sincerely believe no single GPU on this planet currently exists with enough power to satisfy me XD. And I *AM* counting desktop chips there. My dream desktop would be a 5960X with 32GB DDR4 3000MHz RAM and four GM200 Titan 2 chips with 12GB vRAM each or something.

Glad you found it useful. Remember to sticky this if you want. The vRAM guide is more detailed, interestingly enough. I wrote it and after writing it a large number of people gave me minor corrections or fixed minor assumptions I made and I ended up adding a large amount of data to it. It's like... twice as long or something I think XD.

Nice read.

The only thing i learnt recently was that the vram doesn't double/triple/quadruple in sli or crossfire configurations.

Woulda consider it a waste but then again i still running 1080p monitors.

resolution doesn't matter much for games honestly. You might find the vRAM guide a great read too.
