Quick Answer: Two EVGA 980 Ti cards in 2-way SLI are roughly twice as fast as two MSi N770 cards in 2-way SLI. I compared these results to two MSi N770 Lighting graphics cards in 2-way SLI. I had the opportunity to test two EVGA 980 Ti graphics cards in SLI (Scalable Link Interface) to see how a modified Skyrim would perform with ENB effects enabled. Is ENB-laden Skyrim playable? Will Skyrim crash? Will there be the dreaded Blue Screen of Death? 1920×1080 resolution runs fine no matter what the game, but what about NVIDIA Surround at 5760×1080? While many older games can be modified, I chose to test Skyrim due the near-photographic results that are possible with its lush environment. As a result, how well a new graphics cards runs a modified game - particularly Skyrim with ENB - can offer a glimpse into the card’s true potential. This is a shame because unoptimized games, like Skyrim, often require more GPU power to produce cutting-edge effects than the latest blockbuster games, which have been optimized for current technology. No 980 Ti reviews that I have read discuss performance when modifying older games. The game Skyrim features beautiful eyecandy when modified with high-resolution textures, lighting effects, and high-performance, crash-inducing modifications, but these modifications produce a heavy performance hit that can bring the mightiest of graphics cards to their knees. Reviews adulate the power of the 980 Ti, but answers to these questions were nonexistent. Will Skyrim achieve 60 fps with ENB at 5760×1080 resolution using NVIDIA Surround? How smoothly will a heavily-modded, ENB-rich Skyrim perform when using two EVGA 980 Ti graphics cards in 2-way SLI?
