Great run, that 3rd card gave you a really good boost
Thanks guys. I couldn't resist buying another sapphire vapor-x for $120. Considering I had a 3rd slot and a 1000w PS, I thought I would give it a shot. Not gonna lie, if you thought having 2 in xfire was a pain to get going smooth, you should really try 3. All that aside, I'm getting insane FPS in really demanding games. Farcry 4 on Ultra everything and I get around 65-70+. Dragon Age: Inquisition on Ultra gets around 80-100 FPS. I'm loving it, although I bet my power bill is going to be a bit higher. My PS is for sure being taxed to the max, i'm going as low as 11.808 on my 12V rail, which I know is perfectly fine, but with just 2 cards it was a rock solid 12.000.
Thanks again, I love this forum and I spend most of my time reading instead of posting, but I can't resist when I get some good numbers going.![]()
Great score SiKMindZ. I think we need a pic of your rig with the 3 cards fitted, I bet it looks well full now!
Yeah, I overheard a guy at my college talking about selling his for $150 buyout on ebay and I talked him down to $120 so he wouldn't have to deal with the hassle of ebay and having to ship it out. So here I am.
And about the picture, my cards are mismatched as far as maker/style. My main one is the sapphire Vapor-x, my 2nd is a sapphire Dual-x and my 3rd is a MSI reference with the plastic taken off so the vrm's could get better air(the cooler on it is tiny, but with some pk-1, I got a 8c drop in temps). It's all in a Thermaltake Chaser MK-1 case. So if you really wanna see that mess, I got np posting it. All that really matters are the numbers you get from them anyways, right?
Funny i am thinking of going with another Gigabyte TI in SLI instead of getting another card and having to sell this one off only a year old if i add another TI i am sure i am not missing much my card now still hangs with a 980 so i mean really i think i am still pretty good but going Sli might give some of you hell![]()
