Hello fellow Tom's Hardware forum users. I'v come to a sudden stump on the road with deciding to upgrade my current GPU in general to a 760, or getting another 660 FTW signature 2 edition non TI to SLI with my current GPU which has the same architecture . Any thoughts upon this? And would my power supply CX 750 watts even be enough to supply for two GPU's?

660 wants 450W for system and 1st card + 140 w for the 2nd

CX series should be OK if not looking foir anything above moderate OC's

Two 660s faster than a 760

Then again $220 for another FTW is not something I could get behind very strongly when the 760 is $250

Personally I would sell the 660 and get the 760 or if you can, the 770. Both of these cards will be around for a while and both will sli well

Good luck!

The extra price of the 760 is worth it in terms of not having to deal with any of the SLI issues. In my opinion a single card setup is to be preferred over a dual card setup, unless you are talking about top of the line cards and really need that horsepower. Are you running at a resolution above 1920x1080? If not, stay with the single card solution.
