Can I SLI GTX760 4gb card?
I'm finally looking to upgrade my GPU on my R3 after over 2 years on my trusty GTX 560ti. My question is, could I SLI this card:
http://www.newegg.ca/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125470
PSU requirements for one card is stated as 500W. My rig is:
AW Aurora R3
i7 2600k
8gb ram
875w psu
1x1TB 7200rpm HDD
not sure how much power it would use (if any) but I also have a gaming controller.....
Thx a bunch for any assistance with this. If I can't SLI i will probably just run a single card.. same one linked.

Exactly, the cards we sold with the computer required only 1 slot, that's why you could have dual video cards on it. The model you want it's bigger and it requires 2 slots, so only 1 GPU will fit in the computer.

Hi REAP3R, since the nVidia GTX 760 requires 2 slots to install it, only 1 video card will fit in the computer, also the power supply would not be enough for the computer to work with 2 GTX 760.

Hi Dani, just wondering, did you mean that the 760 I referenced is so big that it won't allow for another card to fit in the other PCI slot or that it actually uses two slots? I know there is room for 2 cards in my system.
thanks

"Hi REAP3R, since the nVidia GTX 760 requires 2 slots to install it, only 1 video card will fit in the computer, also the power supply would not be enough for the computer to work with 2 GTX 760."
I too have an Aurora with an 875 PS. IT came with 2 NVidia 460 GTX in SLI. I recently replaced them with a single 760 GTX. I may add a second 760 and SLI them. Why would you say that 2 GTX 760 won't work with a 875w PS? 170w x 2 = 340w.......leaving plenty for the rest....
