Faster Processor Or More Memory?

[WaLkAwaY]

And last:

Do not fall into the "SLI-trap"

SLI (2 or more cards together) is NOT always faster. In some games even SLOWER.

The SLI was envented by the manufacteres, so they could sell 2 cards instead of just one.

 

 

Although you are correct about the 2 cards not always being faster than 1. The conspiracy theory below it is untrue. Sometimes the cards work together flawlessly and other times the games won't even recognize the other card. The originality of SLI points toward MLB and Gcard makers wanting to get ahead of the ever "pushing the envelope" game devs.

 

I will say to OP that when buying a G-card if you see for example a BFG GeForce gtx-260 for 230$ and a gtx-OC-260 for 480$ and the core speed of the two cards are maybe 500 and 648 respectively go for the cheaper card. All of these cards are made the same and tested the same the graphics processor is run through numerous tests and taken to failure by overclocking. Where that particular card fails is around the area it is scaled back and set to for sale. So if the GPU for ten cards failed at 700mhz then ten of the same GPU failed at 600mhz the 700mhz GPU would be sold as overclocked or OC and the other ten as just a regular gtx - 2xx. Just look this info up on the web for further explanation as there is much more to it.

 

I thought this thread was about whether or not one should get a new proc or more memory?

@SWAT_WaLkAwaY "I thought this thread was about whether or not one should get a new proc or more memory?" :blink:

 

Yes, it started so, but it developed. Some people keep showing interest on the subject, though it´s

a little altered. :whistling:

 

However the world of the pc is vast and is not explored easely by simple questions or answers. lol :D
