Never run SLI, so two quick questions.

 

1. Should  both GPU be identical?

2. Is 1000W PSU enough to run 2x980?

 

Thanks

You can run 3x 980 too

I currently have 1 GTX 670 FTW running 3 X 24" (6000 x 1200 resolution) + 19" touch screen monitor. I am ok with the low AA settings I have..But I cannot fly with lots of clouds...

 

Q1 Should I get another GTX 670 and SLI or do I go with 1 GTX 970?

 

Q2. would it be worth going for a GTX 970 SLI? :)

 

Q3) Would I be able to have GTX 970 and my old GTX 670 in my PC (non SLI) and plug in more monitors? like say... 4 monitors on the GTX 970 and 2 or 3 more monitors (to  be used for GPS, CDU etc) in the second card (GTX 670?)? 

 

I was just reading up and coming up to speed on SLI which I had never bothered to read earlier. I do not play anything game..totally dedicated to Flight simming.

I last used SLI three or four years ago.  Isn't there an issue with using dual monitors in full screen mode?  Since P3D runs in a "faux" full screen mode is that a problem?  Can I have say - cockpit VC on one monitor and an external spot view on the other monitor with SLI?

I am running 2 x 670OC in SLI at the moment so when the :true" profile comes out i will let you know how the performance goes... at this stage i have awesome performance anyway so can only imagine it getting better!

Good news,  hopefully it will have a little jump in power for my liccle single "sli" card Gtx 690   :mellow:  :rolleyes:

 

 

 

As some of the more popular Y.. T..e computer commentary sites are foreshadowing an end to SLI with the release of DX12, as well as AMD dropping Mantle, the ability shortly to run SLI in P3D is therefore most probably "too little, too late."

 

I would hold off purchasing until the situation clarifies.

I would like to know if the drivers/profile is going to help single GTX's?

you are partially right for waiting but Prepar3d with directx 12 its meaning Prepa3D 3.0 64 bit..for me its far, far away from 2015

Today is the most beautiful day of my life...

I have a bit amateurish question - if P3D wasn't originally designed for SLI, what benefits SLI would bring to the sim? Wouldn't be like multi-core CPU that does almost nothing for FSX/P3D?

I doubt that Lockheed Martin or Nvidia would bother announcing SLI compatibility for P3D unless it provides at least some benefits.
