Ok so im about to be building a computer soon and wondering weither running two of these on the the computer would be a bit overkill or not?

I have 2 of these and they work wonders. Depends what you're doing/playing. If you're monitor is 120/144hZ or 4k (best to go with the 4gb version of this card) What are your specs going to be?
1044786
Well Eric, that depends pretty much in what you want to do. For example if you want to run games with a lot of graphics at max specs or use multiple displays like 3 of them. but if you don't care about having all specs at max its excellent, thats how I play. Even so many games run with max specs with only one of these.

I would get a single 970 or 980 - 970 will be less than 2x770s and the 980 will be about the same. The 980 will have about the same bench give or take - certainly less heat and less power.

Depends what you're playing, I am running one of these and can run bf4 on ultra at about 80 fps on windows 8 with an i5 and 16 gigs of ram but if i were you, i would get one 780 not two 770's

only belong to the game you want to play,if you want to play crysis3 or other games like this and with three displays or more, i think that you need more powerful card like gtx780ti or titan, if you only play some small game like plants and zombies，i think you only need gt650

Is it posable, yes... is it recommended..OH HELL NOI would recommend that you remove both 2gb and replace with the two 4gb.. The way RAM works, is in a way that it will use both ports at the same time, and having two different sticks is only asking for trouble.. Where as if both are spec the same, they would operate at the same rate.

It depends.. If you're running a custom liquid cooling loop, two CPUS, a couple hundred gigs of ram, and about 50 fans that second MIGHT put you over. If you're running any normal rig then you're fine. Though you may consider the new 290x at this point, just get a non-reference model with great cooling.

If your running stock clocks on your cpu and gpu you'll be ok, probably. I don't know the rest of your setup. Real world power draw is one thing and recommendations are another. I could get your setup to draw 500 gaming or 1000+ if overclocked. So that's my 2 cents.

Easily. If you plan on overclocking it should be fine but if you also plan on adding another 980 you may need a tad more power for stability.

yes, you must install a 1500w psu for both graphics card, then youll have a quadfire installation, so it requires more power, greetings and hace a nice day

You can't use both so just install one at a time and choose whichever seems better to you. HTH

You can do either. But this card requires both available power adapters so take note that power consumption will be high with this card and higher running both

Over locked it will consume about 400 watts so a 500 watt PSU is sufficient unless you never want to over clock but I would rather have too many watts than one not enough.

They will work well, especially if you use the AMD overdrive utility to match memory and GPU clocks, in general there is nothing wrong with mixing cards with the same chipset.... But if you want to squeeze the maximum performance out of a pair of cards, identical models do tend to work best in my experience.

It can't hurt. I redo it once a year or so (If I even keep a CPU that long), whichay be considered overkill by some. It only takes a few minutes.
1591209
Yes, but you would need a massive power supply at least 1200 plus gold rated. And like Umardilse stated...they must come from the same power supply. Make sure you have enough room in your case to fit them both in.

It depends on how you are going to use your pc. If it's just a simple built for office and home use. Yes it ok. But if your going for gaming and planning to OC. Go for a water cooled one. Enjoy your build. Www.twitch.tv/jbgabrie

sorry, that wont be near enough power. your processor is already eating half of that. I would go 500 or better.

I'm running one with the same cpu as well, my power meter on the system shows about 620 watts during game play. I do run two hard drives, 1 HDD and another SSD. Other than that there shouldn't be much difference. You really don't want to run a power supply that close to max wattage, I ran a 650 on mine for a while and went out pretty quickly. I would say upgrade the power supply or go for an Nvidia at the same price range. They usually use less power.

I think you need to keep the same wattage by what the computer uses. I don't think that there would a problem going higher on the wattage, hopefully not too high. That's the best that I can tell you

You can use either as they both support multiple CPU's (up to 512 on 64 bit). I would install whichever version you feel would most suit your needs.
