komyali Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 So I didnt look for new hardware since my last update of CPU 2011-2012 i7 3990K. I am not in hardware anymore, so I need help. I have GTX 660 OC gigabyte, and I want one more to put in SLI mode, need it for my perspective view in 3ds max, and also for UE rendering. So my question is do I need to put exactly same card in SLI? If don't what card should I look for? Also If you have something to recomend pleas write down Tnx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Sli can't be used in 3ds max viewports. Multiple gpus are useful only in gpu rendering, but not in sli config. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komyali Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) so high polygon model wont be spinning faster in with sli. Thanks I didnt know that. What about same graphic card? P.s. So this guys have placebo effect? Edited March 7, 2016 by komyali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted March 7, 2016 Share Posted March 7, 2016 Best solution for you now is to sell your old gpu and buy a new one, a gtx 960 or a 970 would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komyali Posted March 7, 2016 Author Share Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) man I just watched prices on newegg gtx 960 price is very low, I paid for gtx 660 more money P.s. now this thread is switching from sli to what shall I buy? EVGA vs Gigabyte or you reccomend something other in this price range? Edited March 8, 2016 by komyali Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
komyali Posted March 8, 2016 Author Share Posted March 8, 2016 I am now looking MSI. But I am asking myself what is with ATI? Long time ago they had problems with drivers, after that I never consider buying ATI? How does ATI work with 3ds max and UE ? Can I have more from ATI than from GTX? Anyway I will buy GTX but I just want to hear what is happening on other side Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nikolaos M Posted March 9, 2016 Share Posted March 9, 2016 Drivers, as far as I know, still remain horrible especially for professional apps. Things are somehow better in gaming, but that's not my field of interest. Unreal Engine uses direct3D, so any consumer gpu should do the job well. As for the brand, any of the above would be good, I think. You could buy from EU stores too http://geizhals.de/evga-geforce-gtx-960-supersc-acx-2-0-04g-p4-3966-kr-04g-p4-3967-kr-a1241646.html?hloc=at&hloc=de.
