Hola chavales! Primeramente agradecer de antebrazo toda la ayuda que me podais dar, ya que gracias a este foro me aconsejasteis para la compra de mi primer y unico pc ;D

Al lio, este es mi pc,sencillito: http://www.levelpc.es/gamer/1464-level-pc-i5-2300-gamer-pure-black.html
La unica excepcion es la grafica, que cuando me lo compre no tenian la que sale ahi y me pusieron una evga gtx 550 ti.

Mi duda es si puedo comprarme ahora una Gigabyte Geforce Gtx 550 Ti 1gb Gddr5 Windforce Gigabyte GeForce GTX 550 TI 1GB GDDR5 Windforce : Tarjetas Gráficas Nvidia Pci Express : Tienda Componentes y periféricos y "unirlas" o sli creo que se llama en las nvidia.
Con mi placa puedo? El pc no se me queda corto? Mi fuente dara para las 2? Necesito mas ram?

Otra cosa,uniendo estas graficas podre jugar al far cry 3,assasin III etc al tope no?

Muuchisimas gracias, espero vuestra ayuda y si es de manera simple mejor que tengo bastante poco conocimiento en esto xD

Miil gracias!!

Aunque podría funcionar, nVIDIA recomienda al menos una fuente de 650W para ese SLI.

Si fuera tú, intentaría vender esa gráfica, y sacar al menos ~80€, para comprar una GTX660 que andan en ~200€.

Salu2!

Opino igual, un SLI con gráficas que son son medio decentes no suele merecer la pena. Yo la vendía y más el presupuesto de la nueva y un poco más me estiraba por una Ati 7850 de 2 Gigas o una Nvidia 660 como te indica el compañero.

Joooder, pues vaya bajona :frio:
Se me va un poco de presupuesto pero en fin…he visto un par de comparaciones de las 660 y la 7850 y veo ligeramente mejor la 660 asi que de las 660 que hay en pc componentes que es donde me la comprare, cual me recomendais? Es que hay un monton de modelos y me lio xD

Ya para aprovechar el post, me gustaria ampliar un poco la ram, a lo mejor unos 4 gigas mas, que me recomendais que me compre?

Graaaaacias por responder! :D: D

Si no te quedas corto en ram, no la ampliaría, aunque ahora está a buen precio. Tu placa tiene slots libres para la ram o debes sustituir los que tienes puestos? Mira en la web del fabricante de tu placa qué ram acepta en MHz, y con eso decides…

Puedes aprovechar la promoción de la Zotac, que te dan 5 años de garantía, si la registras en su web.

Salu2!

Gracias nuevamente por responder!
Mi placa es una ASUS P8P67 LE http://www.asus.es/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_LE/#specifications No se donde se mira eso de las ranuras, lo unico que se es que tengo ocupadas 2 (Corsair Value Select 4GB 2x2GB 1333Mhz CL9)

En cuanto a la zotac…no se no se, estaba pensando en estirarme un poco mas y pillarme la Ti, en concreto esta: Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 250-1N280-P0000 Tarjeta Gráfica Como lo veis vosotros? Esta bien? Me dara para tirar los juegos nuevos que vayan saliendo?

Un brazo y muchisimas gracias de nuevo!

Bueno, en la placa base físicamente se ve si tienes 4 o 2, si tienes 2 debes cambiar tus memorias por otras, de todos modos echa un vistazo a ver qué velocidad máxima llega tu placa para pillarlas, pero imagino que 1600 no llegará (a menos que hagas OC)

Hello again! I have a couple more questions… I've been looking and I was thinking of getting this GTX 660 Ti graphics card Zotac GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB GDDR5 250-1N280-P0000 Graphics Card but then I saw this one on pccomponentes that's on promotion and it's much cheaper Sapphire Radeon HD 7870 GHz Edition 2GB GDDR5 11199-16-20G Graphics Card

I thought the 660ti was much better, but after seeing this comparison (which I don't understand, I just look at the longer bar xD) I'm not sure GeForce GTX 660 Ti vs Radeon HD 7870 – Performance Comparison Benchmarks @ Hardware Compare

What do you guys think??

Another topic, to take advantage of the post, is about the RAM, I have an ASUS P8P67 LE motherboard http://www.asus.es/Motherboards/Intel_Socket_1155/P8P67_LE/#specifications with 2 RAM slots occupied with 2 gigabytes each… I've looked and it has 2 empty slots, there are 2 blue slots and 2 black... does that mean something?? Could I buy Corsair Value Select DDR3 1333 8GB 2x4GB CL9 CMV8GX3M2A1333C9 DDR3 Memory and put all 4 at once? That is, to have 12 gigabytes of total RAM?

I know it's a lot of questions, but I have to buy all that together to take advantage of the shipping and I'm all messed up and I don't want to mess it up and spend my money badly xD

Thank you very much in advance for the help and the answers! ;D ;D

The memos, you can't mix models (a matter of latencies and frequencies) it's ideal. It is. Always put the same brand and model, otherwise... everything is a problem
The colors are for marking A B, C D if you put them in single Chanel it is: the memos in A B. Or in C D, in dual Chanel it is A. C or B D
Regards
PD as per dual Chanel rule

[neofito88]

So if I can get another one like the one I have and put all 4 in at once, right?
Another one like this: Corsair Value Select DDR3 1333 4GB 2x2GB CL9 CMV4GX3M2A1333C9 DDR3 Memory

if it's the same model as you have if ;D and you will have 8 GB of memory, although depending on the use, 4 GB of ram is usually more than enough (my case, games and autocad), putting 8 GB seems normal when you build a computer from scratch and get a good deal, otherwise ….. :nono:

Well the truth is that the other day I was using, at work, Photoshop CS to resize several images (a few hundred xD) through a batch process, and wow there was a moment that it ate up 6GB of the 8Gb I have (an i5 that I have at work), luckily this didn't happen to me with the Core Duo I had before with 3GB of memory, hahaha…if not I would have died!!
The truth is that with 4GB it goes well today, but at certain times, or depending on what you do, you can regret not having more, Considering the price of memory today, 8GB are very cheap and accessible.
Another thing is that one is broke…so you can hold on with 4GB for a while.

The truth is that with 4GB it runs well today, but at certain times, or depending on what you do, you can regret not having more leeway. Considering the price of memory today, 8GB is very cheap and accessible.

as I say, for gaming and running AutoCAD with 4GB is enough, for certain applications NO and for professional use of AutoCAD not either, just as my micro and my GTX280 graphics card are not suitable, but for sporadic use yes. If the PC is for gaming, I would save the memory money to get an SSD. But remember, this is a personal opinion
