I currently have an MSI Nvidia GTX 660 Ti OC edition. I can run most games on max settings but there are more and more games coming out nowadays that require me to drop to medium and in the case of the new assasin's creed unity I don't even meet the minimum requirement of a GTX 680. I know I need to upgrade soon, but i want to know if I should buy another GTX 660 Ti and do SLI or just get an all new beast card. Cheaper is better, but if there are any issues with sli or if its more bang for the buck to go single card I'd be willing to cough up a bit more. Also would the sli option allow me to run 98% of games at max or do I have to get a beast card to do that. I don't need to run crysis at max, but I do hope to run GTA 5 and similar games at max 60fps
Also if you need the info on my other components these are them.
-AMD FX 8350 8-core 4.0 GHz Black Edition
-8 GB RAM
-240 GB SSD + 1TB HDD + 2TB HDD
I was going to ask the same question. I have a very similar setup except Asus card and motherboard. The Asus GTX660 TI is going for about $100 on Ebay. Should I sell my GTX660 and get the GTX970 or GTX980? Or would it be better to have 2 - GTX660s. I believe my system can support it either way. I have pre-ordered GTA 5 and want to run it maxed at 1080p 60fps. Any advice would be helpful.
I sold my old 4gb 760 for $167 on ebay and upgraded to a Geforce 970 and I haven't looked back since. I'd think y'all would be better off getting a Geforce 970, best bang for y'all's buck. Plus sli has stutter and lag, it's not really double the power. It's usually 1.2-1.5 times the first gpu depending on specs and how the application is optimized.
