• Replacing my 5770 with 2 460GTXs?
    7 replies, posted
Hey chaps, long time no post. I've currently got a Saphire 5770 in my machine, and I've currently come into posession of 2 MSI 460GTXs. these GTXs are pretty much the worst of the worst that you can get. Is it worth replacing my 5770 with the 2 460s? Thanks.
What is wrong with them? What is so bad about these 460ties in particular? And you'd get a day and night performance difference. Single 460 outperforms it by a good bit.
It's not that they're bad, it's just that they're the cheapest ones you available and I didn't know whether this would hinder their performance against my 5770. I'm currently looking at going for just 1 due to space, heat, and funds, though.

I'm going to bother you guys once more with a final question - If I get a motherboard that has a PCIe 16x slot, and the second slot is a PCIe 16x but with an 8x expansion and run SLi, is this still worth it?

Just replace your 5770 already and enjoy the fucking awesomeness of having not 1, but 2!!! GRAPHICS CARDS!

Don't forget to overclock them as they come with really low clocks and you can get an extra ~20 before they get even slightly hot.
