Hey guys.

I have a quick question. Firstly, before I begin, I want to say that I won't be upgrading my computer or any parts after this. I won't be future buying a new graphics card or whatever.

So I have a choice of either GTX 680 SuperClocked, GTX 770 stock or GTX 660 non ti SLI.

I have seen that the 660 SLI is extremely good and runs more FPS in games like BF3 and Crysis. I will mostly be playing battlefield 3, far cry 3, assassins creed 3. I want to know which one is the best GPU which won't give stuttering or noticeable stuttering. I have heard the SLI has stuttering in games every 5 minutes or so and sometimes can have it contineously which I really don't want. The 660's are a lot cheaper than the other two cards but I would rather go with the better card which won't stutter and produce great FPS. I also want to know if the EVGA SuperClocked GTX 680 is better than the stock GTX 770?

Please, any help will be massively appreciated.

Thanks a lot in advance!

680 SC like a 770. but i would go for a 770 SC from EVGA. like +10$ for the price.
If possible, single card is always the best. Less heat, less room, less power and less problems with games, drivers, etc, than SLI/crossfire.

Does your current motherboard support SLI in a decent fashion, and by that I mean, do the 2 PCIe slots still get 16x or at least 16x and 8x. A lot of "SLI/Crossfire" motherboards sort of cheap out and the 2nd slot only runs at 4x.

Can your PSU handle 2 660's?

Can you case fit them, and do you have good enough cooling?

Yes, the case, the PSU and the motherboard all support SLI in the best possible way. It's a top end z77 motherboard. I can't remember the exact name of it. I just want to know if the 660 will stutter and I don't mind waiting a week or two for driver updates for bf4 when it comes out. I am mostly looking at the 770 now since it's better

I cant understand people saying "2 760s can beat the titan."
Yeah it can beat it BUT Its not a good Matchup (because the TITAN is priced wrongly IMO)

Its completely different. Some Games utilizes SLI but some dont.

If you play a game doesnt support SLI. Your 760s will be like 1 760.

AND IT IS THE BEST TO RUN A SINGLE CARD THAN 2 CARDS.

What about the Superclocked 680? The money isn't much different in the UK. It's about $30 difference in the UK which isn't an issue for me. I just want to know which is better hehe.
