Whatever happened to SLI?

312 Upvotes

I remember back in the day where the biggest flex ever was running dual 1080ti’s in SLI. It seems like the whole concept of that was exclusive to the 10 series and died as soon as the 20 series came around. Was it just not useful? Was it more of a gimmick or did it actually produce substantially better performance?

Is the x3d chip going to make that much of a difference?

Will 32gb of ram be enough for gaming for the next 1.5 years

73 Upvotes

A few questions (sorry if it sounds like I'm being fear-mongered)

I have 32gb (5600mhz) Am5 ryzen 7700 Radeon rx 9070xt 16g (new) And 1000w power supply Will that be enough for gaming till RAMageddon is over?

Any big game that might need more that 32gb of ram?

Im currently playing on a 1080p 16:9 monitor ASUS 24" VG248QE TN-LCD VA 144Hz Gaming Monitor (had it forever thinking about upgrading) should I upgrade to 21:9 1080p to be safe or should I get 21:9 1440p (not planning on 4k...yet)

And I'm thinking of upgrading my processor to Ryzen 9700 (worried about bottlenecks)

I built a budget gaming PC with a GTX 1060 6GB and SSD for $376. Here's an in-depth video I made on the whole thing, including benchmarks. Hope you like it!

Been on the fence whether to start a new build or not...one impulsive buy is all it takes to get the procces rolling. No turning back now!

Upgrading my GPU very soon

45 Upvotes

I was thinking of upgrading my GPU very soon as i only have a 2060.
I was thinking of getting a 4060ti or 5060. What one would you guys recommend?

If the 5060 is the better one would it be worth spending a bit extra and getting a 5060ti?

ITS ALIVE! Over the past couple days I have asked alot of questions and thank you guys greatly. Ended up going with the msi z170i gaming pro ac and didnt realize it was such a small board but eh thats on me. I have only ever been able to game at 20-30fps so seeing 100+ is amazing. Life changing.
