We've gone from gaming on three graphics cards to now gaming on a card the size of three graphics cards.
Yea okay
And in 3Dmark 4x1080 and a 4090 get the same score, the only advantage of the 4090 is less watts. But I would totally use 2x4090 if I could cause I have 2 of them
I have a massive rtx 4080, I might keep my rtx 3070 and see if i can make them run together
Na back then they had Titan x and Titan Z

These guys are just having fun over trying to become big youtubers..... absolutely love it... answering all of the true gamers questions
432k subs isn't considered a big UA-cam channel? They're tremendously successful in my opinion.
They're already a massive channel generating almost 7 figures a year 😒
@@BREEZYM6015 Yes, but they are averaging around 60-40k views per video so considering they have 400k subs I’d expect them to average 120-160k views per video

@@seminooblex8057 Nope it ain't, yoi got something better? Make videos and we'll watch
It's too bad that you didn't try any video rendering with the three-way SLI and share the benchmarking results. That would have been cool.
Yeah, would have loved to have seen a blender render or something.
funny how they said that this game was for rendering but all the tests they did were gaming related
I expected more of this video
Agree
similiar to a blender render you got the cinebench tests as those render out an image for you and in full honesty, no one is actually going to look at this and consider buying 3 gpu sli pc build only made specifically for rendering, i think this video was mostly just made for fun
@@MistyKathrine
Very cool video, guys! This was kind of like watching Tyler Hover review a depreciated super car... It's a trip back in time to see what a high-performance machine looked like years ago, and while technology has come a long way since then, this thing's still got plenty of grunt for modern use (within reason); however, it hasn't aged all that well and it needed a little sorting out to be livable again... just like Hoovie's hoopties. 😁
With SLI there is a difference between supported and optimized.
Back in the day when this machine was new a properly optimized game could give you almost perfect SLI scaling on 2 cards and somewhere in the neighborhood of 250% scaling with 3 cards.
Yeah back in the SLI increases performance (not doubling) depends on how optimized the game for dual or more GPU in SLI or Xfire.
Some even uses a weaker card just for PhyX.
But for today its no longer worth it, today its BS.
Back in 2020 when im building my new PC and do research if im going SLI/Xfire again and i found it its BS completely nonsense since a single card is more than enough today due to performance generation leaps.
And the most important part is the support for SLI and Xfire are dead
Love you bros, lowkey my fav pc building channel on YT. :)
I remember when this channel had 30k subs. This is incredible how big you guys gotten!
The amount of quality content you guys pump out is awesome
About the ram at 12:50, for you being such a fan of this old system, you neglected to mention that this is QUAD CHANNEL memory! I have this same CPU with quad channel memory. It still rocks in 2022!
Quad channel memory kicks ass. *some* of us have had ddr5 speeds for years lol
@@curvingfyre6810 on your dreamns you had ddr5 speeds lol not even close my boy.
@@LucasOhaiFilgueirashalf the latency of ddr4 in conventional dual channel? Unless ddr5 got a whole lot faster when I wasn't looking...
Cool video and really cool build to showcase! I would have thought the thermals would be a really big issue with how stacked those GPUs were.
Most of the 9 and 10 series cards were blower style, a little more forgiving of tight spaces, plus I would think the load on those 3 GPUs is minimal.
I grew up watching youtubers making these type of PC`s and I always wanted to acquire one, just something about the look and out of nostalgic I love and enjoy them alot.
why not build or buy one for yourself now? It should be a lot cheaper than when it was new!
@@Incommensurabilities Today you just build their equivalent. Like you know back in the days we were younger, we weren't earning as much and so on, now it should be easy to build an extreme 3090 system , at least i did so. Although as 4k series are coming out soon, i would wait to build a 4090 system if i started today to go in to market and start ordering pc parts.
@@Incommensurabilities in my area rarely do any of these parts go up sale even on well known websites like Craigslist and I rather not use Ebay due to the high risk of being scammed.
Explained in great detail! Thank you so much!!
It is actually working, if you look at the GPU utilization!
The thing is, this game is probably using SFR (Split Frame Rendering) by default. With AFR (Alternate Frame Rendering) you can utilize more of the other GPU's, but remember that in the background it is doing buffer swaps between the cards over the interconnect. So the reason only two GPU's are used in the Witcher, is because double buffering is used and the third card is basically not doing anything.
So yea, try and fiddle around with different frame rendering options to see if you can optimize it on a per game basis.
that was exactly what I needed , thank you so much
I remember back in late 2009 building a PC with two Radeon HD 5870's which just came out at the time. PC looked like a beast with both Radeon HD 5870's linked for crossfire. But resulted in two outcomes for games back then. First outcome was some games did not crossfire and would crash if crossfire was turned ON. The second outcome was game did not crash but it would not put any load at all on the second GPU. In the end I learned it's not worth running multiple GPU's in a computer. You are far better just buying one good GPU.
Nowadays some games can take advantage of the feature, but it's honestly not worth it,, even if you get a deal for more than one card. Save your money for one card and game on. (besides these past few generations these cards can more than keep up on the performance end with all the video memory they have) kind of nuts to think back that even 4-6GB of Graphics was too tier just barely 2 decades ago. And our Smartphones have more RAM than a basic school desktop.
Heh, came across crossfire back when I had an HD 580 (still an awesome card) and picked up a second one for not too much. Was wildly disappointed to find how few games actually supported it. Think I even tried crypto mining on the dual card rig and found it to be barely worth it.
SLI/Crossfire almost seems like mostly a scam to get ignorant gamers (such as myself) to buy more graphics cards. XD
I suspect that eventually the techniques for distributing machine learning across a lot of GPUs in the server space will be applicable to graphics, but there's still a significant gap in how those workloads are designed compared to games. If ML upscaling and post-processing can be offloaded to a secondary card, especially an older/cheaper card, while the primary focuses on creating the raw data for that transformation, that might be a niche where datacenter advances can be applied to a smaller scale in a useful way.
same bro. i had 2 7850's and almost all games stopped supporting crossfire at that time. so i decided to just get a r9 fury nitro and call it a day lol
These were top of the line gpus at the time
Something you missed while cleaning the worst of the dust of was the inside of the PSU. After years of use there's loads of dust sitting there just waiting to do some damage.
Blast some air in there to save it for good measure.

You guys rock. Inspired from your videos, I now have two pics!! This morning I had 0. Cheers.

That case is built like a tank. They don't make em like that anymore. Reminds me a bit of my Corsair 780t.
You're a lifesaver... Thank you so much
I had a pair of 980 TIs and they were impressive for the time. I was running 4k60 on a TV and most games could lock that 60hz on high graphics. Swapped them for a pair of 1080s and later 1080 TIs.
Years prior, I did quad-SLI with a pair of GTX 295 cards. Now *that* was a waste of money and I sold one a month or two later. Mind you those cards were only ~$500 CAD each - about what a 3060 costs these days 🤑
cool computer, might even be good to part out and sell on the website for some budget pc builds.
What a gorgeous case, that is such a cool computer
What i'd like to know is, how hard would it be for something like EyeFinity or Geforce Surround to allow you to drive that second and 3rd monitor with different GPUs? Like i know some games have this support built in, but imagine this being at the driver level.
This would eliminate all of the problems of traditional multi-GPU gaming, no screen tearing as the driver tries to stitch frames from each GPU onto the same monitor, because each GPU is driving its own indepenent monitor
We actually use a similator at work that uses 3 seperate computers to drive 6 different monitors and it seams flawless
SLI requires so much tweaking and relies on the Driver that it is pretty much useless. Question tho, did you try rolling back the driver to a driver that was in use when the cards were new? Modern drivers work with the cards, but they do not enable full use of SLI. I used to benchmark all the time and had to replace the drivers with custom script to get them to work with Superposition benchmark. I still rock a 6950x to this day. Although it is paired with a 6900xt
I had 3x980s and I remember when 10 series came out NVidia basically borked all three way systems. Witcher used to run on three cards properly before that launch, and after that it had the same behaviour you got in this video. IIRC I had to revert my driver to a pre 10-series to get my system to behave properly. Shortly abandoned SLI forever after that
I remember when gaming PC's looked like military type equipment, I'm stuck in that era.
Me too. With CD Rom Drives.
You should have looked at the pci-e lane allocation depending on how all the onboard stuff and hdd's were hooked up. Yes I know this is an old thread but you could have got all cards working 90+%.
I had a similiar rig back then. Except I had triple AMD Fury X Cards and an ASUS Rampage V motherboard. Was a crazy fun rig
I remember on my og rig with a EVGA 980ti SC and an i7-6700k and being able to play Gears of War 4 at a locked 4k 60fps with max-ish settings. It’s crazy how the 980ti still holds up today really well (although now I have a 5900x and Zotac 12gb 3080. High refresh rate at 1440p is sooo much better).

this is still pretty good for today for some light gaming and work, super
Awesome vid.
Can you do a video on explaining how well this PC would have handled video editing?
my first rig was a cyber power pc i bought back in 2012 which i only recently retired in January . they were charging about $100 over retail price of parts at the time i was pricing everything out. obviously not including their bulk order savings or any any other supply side deals they get.
i paid $1200 after shipping for a i5 3570k, 120mm AIO, 660ti, 1tb hdd, 850 watt psu, 8GB ddr3, dvdrw, a relatively large case and a 24 inch monitor.
only issue i ever had was learning the hard way i needed to update drivers. i've replaced the aio and the first harddrive lasted until 2021.
after serving various roles the case is now being used for my NAS while the rest of the internals are boxed up in my bootleg IT supply closet
I have that Blu-ray burner in my current PC - never burnt a disc on it! I still use it for watching films though. CPU and MB are from the same era, but now with 32GB RAM and a RTX 2070 Super. The 2070 Super does puff a bit with my 2k 34" ultrawide. Was looking to upgrade, but with UK energy prices...not sure I can afford to!
I remember wanting to do an SLI build back in 2012 era but after researching, it was clear that it was a true waste of money for the minimal gains on a select few games.
Shoulda named the channel, "Macklemore and Rogen" :) Keep up the good work!
Back in the days SLi needed specific profiles which were avilable at Nvidia website. Id made a difference i had two 460GTX Cyclones in SLi. Good times.
3 way SLI seems to work as expected, just because they are connected doesn't mean they all will run at 100%. there's a few limitations that throttle it, plus the way SLI works, as I said, the % seem to be correct.
Love the content
it's 2024. first time i've seen this video. honestly i thought you were seth. my mind has been blown on multiple levels.
Incredibly informative. As soone with no background in soft other than so Nice tutorialgh school band, I completely understand everytNice tutorialng
Love the video
First video I've seen from you guys, I like it, earnt a sub. Got a few points though at 10:25 your mentioning a 4k experience on the 900 series as something people with unlimited wallets mightve thought realistic, now tbh I cant speak EXACTLY for the 900 series as I skipped from the 780-1070, but I dont think 4k was on on anybodies minds as a realisation at least unless they had the titans of that gen in SLI ever deffo not a 980ti in SLI whether or not you count that as 900 series, its up to you. Honestly you may be remembering your timeframes wrong because in my mind at least, the 10 series was the series that people realised 4k as a gaming potential. To be fair though, its so long ago now I barely remember myself
The 5960X is still a great CPU. But you need fast RAM and it needs a decent overclock. Unfortunately, I forgot the channel name - but there is a guy who actually tests this old hardware pushed to the max against new components at stock. Really interesting to see what old hardware actually pushed to its limits was capable of.
You mean...there's a UA-cam channel that actually DOES what the title of this video indicated it would DO but entirely didn't? ;-)
Bro where can I find that case, that looks epic.
you need to set "force alternate frame randering" in Nvidia Control Panel for not supported titles.
Can you make a video for someone who wants to buy a prebuilt for those you aren’t confident in their ability to build their own and don’t wanna spend more than 2000. Not for me but for other people. A video like this would’ve helped me a lot last month. But luckily I found a really good deal. But not everyone is gonna be as lucky as me.
A 1500 budget would also be cool
Awesome video
My question is this:
Would a workstation system with enough pcie lanes AND pcie 5.0 (not currently available on WS cpus) do better in VR with SLI force enabled?
Its crazy how far we have come in terms of technology. In the tech world this PC is considered old but 2014 was not that long ago, crazy crazy for sure. Awesome video as always guys!!
This honestly shows how little we've improved over the last 8 years. An 8 core 16 thread CPU is still a premium component 8 years later. 8 years ago an 8-year-old computer would have been useless for gaming then, now as technology has improved marginally these last few years games can be run on 8-year-old hardware because it isn't much slower than current stuff.
@@Luke357 i agree computer from 2006 and 2014 is completly different
@@Luke357 actually in terms of gaming, cpu utilisation has improved a lot, especially single core performance. Look at the 12th gen i3 for example, it's on par with some i9 previous gens.
64 GB are even quite a lot now, 1 year after that comment. You can still get away with 16GB nowadays. Can't imagine how insane that must have been in 2014.
Good video BUT next time please run a 3D Mark or similar benchmark SO we can at least see the tri gpu theoretical performance.
Built my first pc in 2013 4770k and 760 sli remember scoring higher then a gtx Titan. Would game on triple monitors as well definitely a different era
You can't just go flying into an old 3-way SLI setup half-cocked, bros.
yeah a good motherboard used to run from $75 to $150 and really fancy motherboards like my old crosshair v formula were like $300 and I still thought they were a stupid expense unless you really needed a feature they had.
Now it's $300 for an average board...
8:30 IIRC it was pretty common to have your main GPU pegged at 100% and then your other GPUs somewhere below that but still doing **something**
Interesting video. So nowadays if you want to put like 2 3070s or 2 3080s is not a thing anymore?! No SLI and similar?!
okay... i did NOT expect from a pseudo benchmark video to have actual good gameplay. dude is a beast at apex, love to see it
Thats pretty cool, if i was the owner of that personally i'd sell off 1 of the gpu's and use the money on a more modern looking case, some extension cables and some fans....basically give it a complete face lift and keep a dual sli setup for the novelty factor
Dude spends 9 grand on a pc probably just buys a new one when he needs it.
On the subject of SLI, there's been two SLIs in the tech world the more well known one is nVidia scalable Link Interface, which objectively sucks fat filthy dong. The second is lesser known by 3DFx called Scan-Line Interleave where one GPU rendered one scanline and the other the next, this technology actually worked and worked well nVida stole (yes literally broke the law and it wasn't the first or last time they would do this to a GPU manufacturer, which is why ATI/AMD was the only competitor for better than a decade) 3DFx workers and technology, bought them out and shut them down then ruined multi-GPU forever with a crappy implementation that never worked properly for gaming.
@@bdhale34 Yeah this. I knew about them not inventing PhysX and basically being a complete talentless scummy lying piece of shit of a company, but I didn't even realize we almost had truly good SLI were it not for them. I fucking hate that company so much at this point and their hardware isn't even that good. No seriously, it's not. Turing was the first gen where we truly saw its shortcomings in full scale next to anything else, since GCN was just okay and really AMD hadn't brought serious competition for almost a decade.
In comes RDNA and we can see RTX for what it is, which is just truly a complete piece of shit. DLSS isn't even a feature, it's literally a drawback meant to compensate for how terrible RT was that even a 2080ti got 30fps at 1080p with it on running native. So basically no Turing card could do raytracing. It "could do it" in sense of running it below HD quality, unless you also wanted the blurry artifacting disaster that was DLSS. So I literally don't see anything beneath a 2080ti or 3070 as being capable of raytracing and DLSS/FSR I'm never gonna turn on anyway because why would I want to ruin my image quality like that. I have 1440p for a reason.
If you really want to know what kind of a scam nVidia is just go and buy a thousand dollar card to run HairworksTM and deal with that piece of shit GameWorksTM. All the people buying RTX cards right now have no right to say shit about Apple at this point really, because you're at their and Dell's level. Prices are still way too high in August 2022 for me to even consider an nVidia card and had no idea how greener the grass is on the other side with an RDNA card and Adrenalin software instead. Thank fuck I didn't do that and buy an RTX 2070 super out of ignorance. I'd have wasted my money and been super butthurt about it when I didn't even think about DLSS and was more considering 2070s over 2070 non-s because I wanted to have SLI (in fact I stupidly picked out my board partly on wanting SLI support in the future).
And yeah the funnier thing about SLI is pay attention to how the 3090 can do it, but not the 3060ti. Why? Because while 3060 and 3050 is a scam, those are going to be so cheap on the used market that you could at least forestall buying a brand new card in theory. THAT'S why nVidia dropped support for SLI on the lower end cards, because they knew that people were simply buying a used secondhand GTX 970 off ebay to run an SLI setup instead of buying the brand new GTX 1080. They of course don't mind if you're doing it on 3090's however because that kind of person is probably going to get scammed again in 2-4 years anyway, whereas the mid-tier and lower buyers generally wait 4 years minimum to purchase another, which they can extend into 6-8 years with SLI at least in theory if not occasionally in practice. Like you'll notice what this guy is rocking is tri-980ti SLI, and not a three card 970 (which to be fair, triple SLI basically wasn't worth it ever).
I did also discover that allegedly software CrossFire can still work but am unsure of it. Either way, I'm ultimately glad that I dropped nVidia as my path and switched to a 5700XT instead. Now my card and software is a joy rather than an irritating pain in the ass money sink.
Oh yeah and I forgot to mention that's really really stupid OP. Like why in the hell would he sell off his one 980ti anyway? You're thinking like a poor person who can't afford anything near that, i.e. most people, hence the "sell one" part. If he can afford that, obviously he can afford to buy a new case whenever he wants, but that's not the stupid part.
The stupid part is that why would you *want* to get a new case to begin with? Literally the whole entire point of the rig is to have that build looking like it is, period correct, and in three way SLI. That's literally the part that's valuable to me. Were he to sell some off and put it in some zoomer memecase it's now devalued to just a pseudo-poverty build. I'd look at it then like "why the fuck did this kid just buy two 980tis? If he could afford to buy two during the pandemic why wouldn't he just buy a new card instead? Why would he even try SLI in 2021 with those old cards if he could afford two?"
The part that makes it so much more valuable to me is the simple fact of it having some very good looking rare case and even having a floppy drive while running 3-way SLI. Hell, even if he had 980s I'd consider that massively more valuable over the one you propose having some new case (I hope not one of those terrible featureless closed front panels and at least with a glass or mesh front) and dropping the 3 way regardless how useless 3-way SLI is, because it's more the novelty. It's a period correct, completely put together thing on its own. I hope to some day get the useless cash together I can waste it on pointless things like building old Fermi era 3-way Crossfire type rigs using old parts just for the novelty. You are right though, in that actual usefulness would be something like a 980/ti two way if it can work on the games, which 3-way often didn't.
@@bdhale34 ya missed one, understandable though as the machines carried a hefty price tag of 100k and up and gaming wasn't an option with them at all in reality..
SGI Silicon Graphics Inc which were the hottest thing available at one point.
Used multiple accelerator units per machine long before what you now call a GPU was even called a GPU, they were just called graphics accelerators once upon a time. Nvidia coined the name "Graphics Processing Unit" GPU.
It stuck!
After the break up of SGI, several of the top engineers got together and made a new company and called it Nvidia.
They didn't steal anything as they were actually the inventors of the entire concept of multiple graphics accelerators in a single machine..
And btw, some from the former SGI took another route and used the same multi graphics accelerators per machine as SGI did, long run, that company actually failed, take a wild guess what their product was called..
You already mentioned it..
That yellow bubbling by the AIO fan looks a lot like Gorilla Glue when if foams up.
I still have my old system which is like to the tee! But I had 2 2TB SSDs with 4 4TB Non-Raid. It was for Minning, But couldn't get the right investors, so ended up using it for gaming and my Photo Club. I have today three 1600W PSUs, which are still in very good condition/usable but may sale at some point now. I've been keeping it around to someday convert into a hidden server behind a server. Call it ("To Trap A Rat"). As for gaming nowadays sure, if replaced with three RTX 2080s; I got your back! There is a lot more TECH today than yesterday and If you really wanted to invest the time anything is possible.
Can you make an optiplex mt video with a gtx 1650. Would love to see how it would perform.
That pc needs to be in a museum
Very competent gaming rig. With an upgrade on the gpu and cpu it'd still be up to date.
Then its a new computer basically anyway
@@boffifis1 So the money invested is still intact. What's 700 dollars for the gpu and 150 for a used cpu to bring it up to speed.
I remember back in the day you had to use Nividia Inspector and create custom SLI profiles for games.
I remember doing this with Ark and dual 970s, while "trying" to run at 4k medium. Never managed to get the second card above 50% usage but it worked to produce some playable framerates.
I would imagine this could still be done today with newer games, but with a much lower success rate.
Use to SLI every setup. SLI'd 560's, 660's, 970's and for the most part, it was a pleasant experience... Sad that its now dead.
Blooming brilliant set up. U make it sound so old, LoL, or out dated. I still rock my Wellsburg X99 upgraded over 8yrs (2011-3 w/ E5-v4 Xeon). i7-6950 was the $1,700 update.
On the other hand, $1,000 used is a bargain as those parted out can fetch more. The 980-Ti's are still $200/ea easy. The RAM still OK, The ASUS version of that mobo would still be 25o-300+ depending. The PSU of that class is still good & can get $150-200+ (a Corsair AX/HX 1500w version $560 then still $300). U get what U pay fpr. I'm still using mine. ASUS X99-M WS, Xeon, E5-1660-V4, ASUS Strix RTX 2080-Ti, G-Skill Trident Z RGB DDR4-3200 (4x16g) Cl14, Samsung, 980 Pro Gen4 nVme, Corsair AX1500w.ASUS Bluetooth & TPM add in.
I still have a set of those blue cathode ray tubes in my boxes of stuff.
I would've liked to see you test Battlefield 3. I used 2 RX 460s, the only game that worked perfectly with dual cards for me was BF3.
Jesus that pc tower its beautiful
really should have used nvidia profile inspector to force SLI compatibility
it depends on the game,however it helps a ton with SLI performance
do you guys ship in Norway too, I really want a pc so Im still deciding what to do and what to buy, cuz cheap is expensive in Norway
2022 still early that pc is a beast
I have that exact drive it's $69 now. If I remember it was around $150- $160. Samsung 840 pros were $1/GB so 850 must've been more expensive even.
Whats the app you guys use in the top left corner that is able to show the fps while playing the games?
SLI was a pain. I had a pair of GTX 970's in SLI. If memory serves, Battlefield V scaled really well. There was a lot more tinkering you had to do to make SLI work. ua-cam.com/video/ZFvu0mYimNE/v-deo.html
There’s a reason why sli died but the way gpus are going the 4090 ti is going to be as thick as a sli setup
@@petersmulders8058 And probably very heavy. High end GPU's really should come with a sag bracket at this point.
@@reknemite Maybe just we should change gpu socket rather than add some brackets. I'd love to see a mobo integrated with gpu, where you only need to add gpu processor, and both gpu and main processors are on back side, so you can slap on it big, 20x20cm aluminium radiator.|
Btw i have SLI 970 and its a paint in the ass to handle different bits for each game, not to mention some games refuse to work at all in SLI... It's why i made a decision to finalny switch to single 3080ti.
My understanding is that if you arent stressing the first gpu ebough it wont ever kick over - saw a video showing 3 3090ti's, and only one was on until they pushed it even harder so apex just might not be demanding enough
Your understanding is clearly well beyond theirs, dude ;-) Just sayin'...
@@mikeverstichelen9791 lol thanks
500-700 shipping. Just shipped a 30lb m-itx computer half way across the country. around a 2k machine, it cost me nearly 300 in standard shipping with a signature and insurance.
The amount of stress and pain I could see with folks buying sli cards back then are probably mad. But however using KVM stuff for HyperV or linux use makes sense for multiple GPUs
Are you using Producer edition?? What do y'all recomnd if I want to make s but not record my voice or tutorial?
I started making soft recently, I was wondering if you wanna do any features.
I'd like to see how this compares to a modern ~1000$ computer for gpu rendering. Including the power draw.
Can someone educate me on how I can get that benchmark tool on my computer, been wanting to see if my system can run a certain frame rate at certain settings, thanks in advanced
This frame rate with those graphics back then was just mind blowing to see.
what do you mean? that it's good fps for the card age?
i agree and also fps benchmarks were pretty much only to see if you could get like above 80 anyways, because 120/144hz gameplay wasnt THAT common back then was it?
@@yurilopes420 Depends on the game. In competitive FPS games like counter-strike, quake, or tf2 you were putting yourself at a huge disadvantage if you were playing on anything less than 100 hz. It wasn't uncommon at all(in fact it was the standard) for serious players of these games to still be rocking CRT monitors for this exact reason until about 2012-13 when LCD technology finally caught up in terms of refresh rates and response times. I kept my old viewsonic CRT that could pump 120 hz until I got benq's first 144 hz LCD panel in 2013.
@@Kreege wait, crt monitors had high refresh rates and people would rock tf2 cs and quake on those with 100+ frames??? I had NO idea, legit I never heard that
damn here I am thinking I'm living at the edge of technology, not really people been high refresh rate gaming for decades lmao
980 are new only a few years old now.
if I remember correctly SLI also had to be enabled in windows Windows 11 does not support SLI, but Operating systems that fully support SLI are given below:
Windows Vista 32-bit
Windows Vista 64-bit
Windows 7 32-bit
Windows 7 64-bit
Windows 8 32-bit
Windows 8 64-bit
Windows 10 32-bit
Windows 10 64-bit
you also need to enable SLI in the NVIDIA Control Panel. How to Enable SLI Mode
Right-click anywhere on your desktop and select NVIDIA Control Panel from the drop-down menu or click the NVIDIA icon in the Systray.
Once you've opened the NVIDIA Control Panel, click the Set SLI configuration link under the 3D settings menu.
It’s likely that the drivers not being optimized for older hardware. I still run my i7-4790k and an evga gtx 980 sc and on apex I’m getting around 120 fps on 1080p low. So for sli to be supported on apex and it to perform that bad…..has to be driver related. I get 120 fps consistently on BFV at 1080p low as well.
4790K GANG
Try it with 3 separated monitors instead.
Could be a thing for multitasking.
Great Tech Video for oldskool gamers
6 months ago I built my first Pc and my boss gave me his old Gigabyte 970 gtx for like 20$ and I made that work and it really didnt give me any issue other than being severely bottlenecked due to it being paired with a i5 11600k, but I recent upgraded to a 1080 ti for 150$ and now my pc runs flawless.
Thanks for sharing a bit from your diary! Do you want some cookies and wa glas of warm milk?
I like that case, is it a cyberpower/ibuypower exclusive, or another brand/model they just rebadged?
i was in high school back in 2014 and always wanted a 970. 980ti was off limits because it was too expensive. but i used to watch the benchmarks and fantasized of buying one. in 2019 i built my first pc with an rtx 2060 super. currently saving for an upgrade
I understand the struggle, bro. I had to eat ramen for 3 months to afford my first PC lol Now I'm buying the 7900XTX with the Ryzen 9 7950X3D, all while eating everything I want. Finally living good :)
@@SavingPrivateBob well deserved king 👑
Remember my SSD I bought in 2014, over 200€ for a 240 GB SSD XD it was the second most expansive part of my upgrade back then, most expansive was the 4790K.
lmao same here man, i upgraded in 2014 as well and got a 4690K and a gtx970, but the real big change was moving from HDD to SSD. I could only afford a 128GB, i think it was Crucial MX something. I do remember it was quite expensive,
I have a 40GB 3gb/s SSD, its launch price was $90. Glad I got it for free just to use it as a boot drive in old PCs.
This thing is badass!
Does your average AIO have a means of refilling it if you were to replace a leaking hose??
back then I was thinking of having SLI making multi GPUs working together same speed as a single GPU but multiply
You have to enable in a secondary advanced settings for apex.
1. Some Triple SLI setups require special driver versions
2. Try two GPUs instead, some games won't detect three GPUs as SLI setup
3. You can actually do hilarious things with this configuration. For example, run three VMs and dedicate one GPU to each VM.
Your performance seems a little low, a single 980 Ti can run a game like Cyberpunk at 60fps in 1080p (Native).
what is that type of light thing at the bottom of the case i like it alot
Would make one hell of a server!
