hey what's up Tech fans welcome back once again to the channel now the biggest question that I get from people all the time is how well this SLI or crossfire work how many games does it actually work on is it worth the money and should you actually even do it well we've tested 25 different games on intents platform to show you which games actually fully take advantage of these technologies and which games really don't so instead of hearing me talk let's first check out that test system and then let's rock the Frick out to the benchmark song and check out the benches this is the current test system that we're using but we're totally upgrading this and the next time you guys see the test scores come out we'll have an i7 6700 K on a brand new nice z170 motherboard so stay tuned now it's time to rock out to the benchmark and check those scores out all right your back will put rocket down for a second talk about this stuff so as you guys can see we tested 25 games and that of all of those games only eight of them really didn't scale well at all with SLI or with crossfire and pretty much that's quite a good amount of games that actually do scale pretty well now the big question out there is is do you need this now if you're a person who has a very small catalogue of games and you're the type of person just buys a game on game day plays it and then it's completely done with it and I don't know if you really might want to do this but if you're a person who has a lot of catalogue and games and steam and stuff and you have a lot of older games like I have like minute like almost like 300 300 games on there so like for me there's a lot of benefit to having either SLI or crossfire because in certain games when it does take advantage of it it does a damn fine job and obviously when it doesn't well that's just a few frames here and there and it's not really worth talking about and as newer games come at it sometimes takes these games a while to catch up and patch everything to make sure that it works perfectly within the crossfire or the SLI environment now I will say this overall that for the whole gaming it did seem like just slightly a wee bit that the SLI was a little bit more stable as some of the games that we were playing in crossfire did show some screen tearing and stuff it's not the end of the world I didn't really put it inside the testing anyways because it could just be something that we saw maybe somebody else wouldn't have it so I'm not kind of like really push that so pretty much you can see right now they're you know they're running pretty close it's not that big of a deal and the reason that we use these particular cards instead of all the new ones and everything out there is because these particular cards a lot of people have out there in the world let's just face it 9 maybe so lots and lots of cards 290x great well-priced card people have them out there so at the end of the day I have to say this if you've got the money that having a single card is all you can get get the absolute best card you can get if you're doing that because that's gonna be your best solution if you're an uber gamer but if you have like I said a huge huge catalogue of games you play games all the time replan having sli or crossfire is definitely a solution you wanna have inside yolo system so I'm Eric you've been watching Tekken tomorrow like usual we'll have links down below for these cards you want to check them out for yourself and we'll see you back here on checking tomorrow from war goodness we've got that too FTW coming the gigabyte g1 gaming coming and obviously something from team red and black to which you guys have all been talking about
