So, the rebuild of my XP gaming PC now has an nForce-based SLI board (Asus M2N32-SLI Deluxe.) Well, it'd be rude not to!
I don't know all the hitches and land mines associated with Nvidia SLI, so I figured I'd ask for advice from you guys. Also, if there's a specific driver version that hits the sweet spot for compatibility I'd love to know what it is.
Currently I have on my shelf (in singles) : a 9800GTX, an 8500GT, a 6800GT OC, and a 750Ti in another machine I could swap out. Maybe some sensible choices, but I'd prefer to go a bit ridiculous in a "why the fuck would you do that??" way. 😜 Dual Quadros, maybe? I don't care one iota about being "period correct", none of my builds are.
The other caveat is I have to be able to pick the cards up for DIRT CHEAP. No 1080s.
Yeah, yeah, I know, "it depends on what you want to run." Well, figure an average range of games from 2001-2011(+), benchmarks, and demoscene stuff. To be honest, I'm more doing this for the fun of building it & seeing it work, rather than micro-tuning or maximizing performance in anything specific.
Let's hear those opinions! 😀
