Multiboxing Hardware Science!

SLI did help with boxing rift right ? A lot of new games had problems supporting it at launch (just look at Crysis 2, the once benchmark hardcore PC game doesn't support SLI at a launch, GG).


but I would need a new PSU first.


Another mistake that I made with my current built, (other than purchasing a GTX 295 lol) is to go with a mediocre power supply. The PSU does degrade over time. It is slowly dying. and I had this constant problem of rebooting my PC automatically when I try to push the graphics. Damn you "witcher 2"~. as soon as I do anything in that game, it reboots.

longer than 2 hrs of rift, reboots. I first thought it was software crash or my card was overheating. But more and more, I think it was due to the PSU as how can the card overheat when I am just 5 seconds into the game. It was at 50 degree to start with. Insufficient power/unstable current seems to be the cause.


on a side note,
Speaking of upgrading hardware, have you guys noticed those "rent a gaming PC/or graphic cards services"? With the frequency that we are upgrading, maybe it will be worth while just to rent cards/PCs than buy them. 2k for 2 years, that's like 84 dollar every month.
