SLI

How effective is undervolting? I'm considering getting 980M SLI instead of only one 980M in my new laptop but I'm worried about the heat that they will produce. Should I bother undervolting or try a different method to keep my laptop cool? I've never tried undervolting before so I'm wondering if...

I want to buy a laptop as powerful as possible, at 15-18 inches, and as upgradeable as possible too. I have seen some models that support desktop CPUs (most from Clevo/Eurocom) and some that support MXM SLI GPUs. But not a one that supports them both. Is there any laptop like this out there...

I was looking at gaming laptops in my budget and the only ones that i could find were the 650m sli, 750m and 840m. All of the cpus were decent i7's but I need to know what one out of all of these are the best and if it is good enough to run modern games on medium settings. (They all have 8gb ram...

Hey guys. Considering that I can't wait for Pascal microarchitecture, I'm gonna go for GT80 titan with 980m sli. How long do you guys think it would last me maxing out most games to high/ultra? (I can downscale from 1080p to 720p for that)

I'm trying to figure out whether I should get a new gaming laptop with one GTX 980M or two GTX 980M in SLI. I know that SLI uses more power, generates more heat and costs more so is the performance boost worth the extra heat and money for a gaming laptop? Would I have to get a laptop cooler...

Hi, I have an Aorus X7 Pro laptop with dual gtx970m graphics card in it which are in SLI. I want to actually shut off both cards and use onboard graphics instead to save power.

Guys, I'm interested in buying a gaming rig (a laptop for portability) I'm leaning towards a 980m sli preferably sager np9377s. It might be almost an year till which I wait for to buy maybe more so my question is should I stay stuck to 980m sli or wait for 2 years until nvidia comes up with...

I am planning on getting a Sager NP9377-S but only with a single 980m because I do not have the budget for SLI. But after a while the prices for another 980m will go down so am I able to upgrade my laptop to a SLI beast? And if so, where do I get the second GPU that will fit the laptop? Also...

I was wanting some advice as far as what you guys would recommend. I'm getting ready to purchase a gaming laptop, primarily to replace my ageing desktop computer. I was really leaning towards something with SLI, and looking for the 2,000-2,600 price range. I've been eyeing the MSI GT80...

The two laptops that fit the title are the Sager NP9772-S with an Intel i7-4790K and a MSI GT80 TITAN with Nvidia GTX 980m SLI. The sager is like $1000 cheaper than the MSI laptop and I personally only have the budget for the sager but if you guys recommend me for the MSI then I will save up for...
