I already have a Gigabyte GTX 670 OC, but I want to SLI it with another one. However, right now I can get 2 of the Powercolor 7870 LE MYST Editions for the same price of another 670. According to all the benchmark stuff, the 7870 LE isn't far from the 670.

Is it worth switching? My concern is microstuttering. I can't seem to find any benchs with two of the 7870 LE's.

That was my thinking. I'll admit that I'm already an Nvidia fanboy, but $200 for the 7870 LE looks like a steal. Haha
I think the two 670s will give me better value in the long run.

200 for a tahiti core 7870 IS a steal... and generally speaking is the buy of the year right now for gamers.

That said, you already have the 670... and a 670 is a better card then the 7870 LE, so 2 in sli will be better then 2 7870 (tahiti) in xfire. If you were starting from scratch i'd be pimping a 3 tahiti 7870 over 2 670 sli all day every day... as it would be 200 cheaper and much faster... but since that's not the case go with the 670 and call it a day.

So you want to throw away a GPU thats better (waste 400 bucks, or sell it for half price)...
And replace it with inferior cards instead of getting another good card and SLI'ing?

Did you even think this through? Why do you need to ask? What is logic?

7870 LE means that it has a handicapped Tahiti core, which beats a normal Pitcairn. Do your research.
