Tech Question

I wound up with two GTX 760's (one I bought, one was a birthday gift from my wife who meant well). So, can I SLI them on an AMD mb? If I can, is a Corsair TX750W power supply sufficient? Thanks!

The TX750 should be sufficient enough for 2 760`s which mobo ?

It's a MSI 790XT-G45. Thanks.

Short answer is no can do for a normal Nvidia SLI setup . You can do SLI from Nvidia but would have to use hacked drivers . However it is Crossfire compatible meaning it can do 2 AMD card setups natively with no problems .

So, if I get the hacked drivers, it should work?

Sorry for the late reply . Some have reported success with hacked drivers . Not sure what that would do with your warranty though .

Not necessarily, but worth a try if you can live with older drivers. Newer nVidia drivers actively defeat attempts to use them with SLI-incapable hardware. You need both HyperSLI (the successor to previous versions which were called SLI Mod and SLI Patch) and modified drivers. Best available information (links and a very good discussion) is here:
