Hi there,
Anyone here running 2 GTX285s in SLI?
Any compatibility issues with any games I need to know about?
And drivers wise, how often do you update it?

But the MSi SuperPipe for the GTX285/275 certainly makes it run much cooler, important if you overclock and/or play at high def all the time.

I don't have the cards yet. Contemplating whether to get 2 x MSi GTX285 SuperPipe OC, or 3 x Sapphire 4890 Vapor-X.

Do you suffer any micro-stutters in any games? I mean like, even if you get high FPS (which obviously you will), does if feel like it lags a little?

How much higher can you guys overclock the cards with the 3rd party GPU coolers, as compared to the reference cooling?

And it's massive! Absolutely no SLI setups will be allowed with it installed. To me that's a huge deal breaker. I'd rather go for cards with manufacturer improved cooling, like MSi's SuperPipe technology. Better cooling (though not as good as the 3rd party add-on), with SLI capabilities.

Are the huge 3rd party GPU coolers necessary though? I mean for moderate overclocking and gaming.

I'm hoping Sapphire's Vapor-X cooling will be enough for my 3 card setup tongue.gif
