SLI for BF4

Eh. I just ended up picking up an asus GTX 760 OC 2g edition. Saved me some cash and from what I was shown and from other readings, I decided on it since they did not have a 7970 under 350$ at the local frys.

Picked up a Corsair CX750 while I was at it. Not quite what I wanted but it gave me the extra wattage and sadly the only modular PSU they had was 180$... And they dont carry seasonic (shame on you, frys electronics. )

dude...you coul have got one from newegg for much cheaper...
 
According to their respective websites, NewEgg and Fry's are selling that GPU for the same price -- but since Cloak picked it up local, he didn't have to pay shipping (or wait).

I agree though, if he could have waited for Black Friday then that would have been the best option.
 
A 750w psu? Geez, that's a ton for just 1 760 what are you running 15 hard drives?
You could have easily gotten away with a 650w. When choosing Power supplies make sure you look for one with a single 12v+ rail with at least a bronze rating. Seasonic and Corsair are the best two manufacturers imo.

A GTX 670 is a better choice than a 760, and the power supply I linked has more than enough power. The most you're going to use even with a i7 and dual 670 setup with 2133 MHz ram is about 560W max.

Just my opinion though, be satisfied with your purchase the 760 is still a great card.

Also, forgot to mention a GTX 670 can max BF4. I myself am running the game @ high 50-60 fps with a GTX 550ti. Typically people will report that they are getting better frames on higher settings in BF4 than they did in BF3 on lower settings. (From what I've seen this is true.)

You can ask Major_Shrapnel, he is running max settings with a EVGA FTW Edition 670 and it's butter smooth for him.

Happy Gaming

I based all my buying off this - http://www.videocardbenchmark.net/high_end_gpus.html

It is really not a big deal for me to buy a 670 which will barely out perform the card I just purchased. I will be purchasing a second 760 and SLI on black friday. So no reason for you guys to freak out about price.

The prices were exactly the same and I did not over pay and I saved money from shipping.
