My right just got here 1 day ago and want know would it be worth or not even to over clock 2 gtx 285's in sli or no since they can max any thing out really im running crysis 42 fps in 1920x1080 with 16xaa. I have dell xps 730x and right now i got it overclock to 3.6ghz.
I wouldn't. If you can max everything out right now, what would you gain? Best case scenario, more fps. Which you dont need. Worst case scenario, you damage a card (or both cards) and then, well... you damaged a card and gained nothing.
Alright thanks did not think i need to and im planning on getting a new ati dx11 card when they come out so no point.
Then why on earth did you waste money on two GTX 285s? EDIT: I'm looking at Dell's configurator for that desktop, and here are some prices for upgrades: Watercooling - $650 3->12GB RAM - $2100 A case window - $150 Red 'war paint' - $250 tl;dr Don't overclock.
I did not get window or paint waste of $$$ and i got 6 g's of ram also why not overclock it not going to break or any thing i had some guy help me on dell forums he has his 3.8ghz on air stable and he has had it for 4 months. Dell has even a vid showing you step by step on there official youtube channel http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6RCmJWT15j0 it no different doing it with custom build i know people who have it running 3.4ghz on i7 920 on Intel default cooler comes with cpu.
I didn't mention that you bought those things, just that Dell charges ridiculously high prices for them. I also wasn't talking about the freaking CPU, I was talking about the subject of the thread, the graphics cards.
