Hello all
I am thinking of adding another gpu in this build (My Socket LGA775 Build (XP/Vista/7)) for physx
- not sure what card would work best and to fit within this build
- what extra power requirements it might need (maybe 1000w psu) - i was thinking of something like a gtx 470
was also thinking of sli setup but since finding the exact same card is not easy and was wondering something
- if i get the same card, just a different brand, would they play nice with each other (like with the current kfa2 and use a palit) or do they need to be the exact same brand of card
UPDATE
the main reason i am asking is because i do have few games on xp/vista/7 that can use physx and the most recent game that can run on the build is batman arkham city - so 2011-2012 is the max era for this build
arkham city get max fps in 50s but averages at 38-42 fps with the gtx 580
- that with dx11 features turned on
- settings turned to highest (anti aliasing at fxaa)
- physx set normal
for physx setting set to high - it says that a "gtx 570 and a dedicated gtx 460 or better is recommended"
also see if also helps with og Mafia 2
if that helps or another gtx 580 in sli will be better just not sure if different brands of that same model with play nice with each other
