forgot your passcode or maybe just got a secondhand Android device with a lock screen let doctor phone take the stress out of getting your device unlocked without losing any data most of my friends and I know that many of you guys my viewers are really hardcore gamers and if you had the money you would always invest in the most equipment the most expensive equipment and the best equipment you could get your hands on and that means getting two cards either to run an SLI or to run in crossfire now for people out there who absolutely don't know what this is this is taking two cars of the same type meaning that you take you know and r-tx 20 80 I you match it up with a matching card you take a Vegas 64 you match it up with another card this is for the best performance what this does is it enables both cards to work together to create a better score on your games basically you know doubling your frame rates making things look better all this type of stuff but here's the real thing back in the day when I was doing a lot of gaming I do what I did a lot more gaming really when I was younger than I do and I still game a little bit but I used to be really into it and I always made sure that I had two cards you know running an SLI or crossfire because hey when it worked it just worked great and back in the day there were many games that were being released for SLI I mean pretty much I would say ten years ago you were seeing probably three in five games that had SLI support well I once the Nvidia site this morning I start checking things out and there's 31 pages of games that support SLI okay 31 page that's quite a lot of games you'd think you know in the long run says they've been around they're gonna have a you know basically a ton of games that support SLI but here's the thing the recent games that have been coming out I feel there's just really not that many games that are even coming out now that actually support SL hi I mean yeah they're shattered the tomb raider there's division there's a few more I'll have a link down below if you guys want to check it out but the real drawback to this to me and it kind of feels to me like SLI even though Nvidia still has it there it doesn't feel to me like in videos pushing the agenda with the people that are developing games to have SLI as one of the features incorporated into the programming of the game I mean sure there are a couple of games out there that support it but we're talking about you know if you want one of the newest cards the RT X cards out there you know you're gonna be spending six or seven hundred dollars per card that's at the minimum the entry level we haven't seen the 2070 I'm sure they're probably priced at four or $500 still and they're still you're looking at almost $1000 for two cards okay so that's a big investment two cards and a lot of people complain about the micro stuttering and all this other stuff and micro stuttering is baek's when you're looking at your game you see your game there's all of a sudden do something really just weird and wacky all of a sudden just out of phase or out of focus and it's because the two cards aren't totally connected and working together as well now NVIDIA has released a brand new type of SLI through their NV link it's supposed to bring double the bandwidth all kinds of great stuff but that's all well and good that's cool thumbs up for all those people who have older games and stuff that'll be hate really good stuff if you're person who has a lot of bowl games and a huge lot of old titles and you want to be playing all those tiles in SLI that's a really cool thing but if you're someone who's just now coming into the market and building up your computer most likely you're not going to be going and buying games from five and six years ago to put inside of your collection you're probably just not I mean let's just face it I mean when you go buy you know stuff you're usually trying to buy the latest stuff and you go out and you buy like musical equipment or stereo you don't go buy stereo clubbin usually from 10 years ago unless you're just really desperate and trying to start off you're buying the latest stuff and seeing that the options for SLI are getting slimmer and slimmer and slimmer it seems to me right now SL Lite kind of seems like a dead horse altogether I mean I don't know if SLI is dying all together because we have seen a few games that are coming out but overall for the cost investment that you're going to have to put into doing something like this I just don't see it being a viable thing for anybody coming into the market right now buying cards to buy two cards and do them in SLI now obviously we're going to be bringing you the SLI scores of all these cards and we're going to admit all the games that don't support us a lie in the past we just tested a bunch of games and we saw it okay some games didn't support it where I'm going to waste our time we're only going to do the games that we see support SLI and we'll bring those scores you'll private we'll try to get 15 to 20 of those games out there if you can takes a lot of time to get all its together but we'll try to get together so you guys can actually see how much that's like performances you know compared to some of the older games to some of the newer games to see that you know for people out there if you have like an older car like you have a 970 or you have a 1070 and you want to jump into another card you know that might be something that's you know sort of feasible but for these brand new cards that are out there it almost seems insane to me to go out and spend okay let's just say you want to get two founders Edition r-tx 2080 eyes you're going to be spending what upwards of twenty-five hundred dollars after taxing stuff in some countries way more than that because of their import duties so we're talking about three thousand dollars for an investment for a car that's only going to play about four or five games better it makes absolutely total totally no sense and I was flabbergasted I actually sent an email you know to the guys over at Nvidia you know it's they could talk to me and say you know what games they were actually doing and if in the future they are planning on you know getting you know more you know with the developers again and doing this but I'm not really getting any answers and to me with the decline that I've seen in SLI it's kind of crazy that they're coming up with this new NV link maybe maybe there'll be some programs and stuff and the professional type aspect thing or something that's going to be taking advantage of that we don't really know just yet but right now NV link it sounds great on paper obviously I think J's - since didson did some testing the numbers were probably really good weren't you know where it actually worked I'm sure we're gonna see the same exact thing but the bottom line comes down to this if you're only gonna be playing the latest games that's what you're into there's no reason to invest in two cards in SLI in my opinion whatsoever I think it's a complete waste of money if you're going to just invest and you've got the money just by yourself the absolute best cards you can get your hands on stick with that one card and just forget about all the stuff all the problems that gets associated with that now there is other things that you can do though other than SLI you can take one really good card and you can take one smaller generation card and you can dedicate that other card strictly to physics which means it'll take all the physics properties now all the physics stuff is really the stuff that makes the game look realistic right but it doesn't really take a whole you know doesn't take another you know twenty atti just to do physics you could get a twenty eighty or you get yourself a 1080i and get yourself a lower end card and dedicate that card strictly for the physics aspect of things and still get better performance than you're getting with a single card so you don't even really have to do SLI you can use a lower end card and you can see if you look inside of your driver base that it gives you the option of choosing a car dedicated to physics you choose that car dedicated to physics with your other card you're going to get better performance I think all the way around then investing the money in two cards and doing SLI at this point the only reason to do SLI in my opinion right now is if you're a person you've been gaming for years and years and years you have a system and you have all those games on there everything's running great you want to be able to play all those games in SLI and get that performance then yeah for you that's a good investment but for anybody who's just jumping in the game save your money if you want to get better performance by one dedicated really good graphics card buy a lower level card dedicate that card to physics and I guarantee you your gaming experience will be totally awesome I'm Mel are you guys been watching Tech tomorrow give me your opinions down below I think many people already consider SLI a completely dead horse but obviously with Nvidia still you know advancing the technology hopefully something's gonna change but who knows if you want to know how many games were actually totally supported by SLI I'll have a link down below where you can check it out there's actually 31 pages of games but as far as the newer games for recent releases it's a really shallow water
