I already have an Asus Gtx 660 and i was thinking about buying another one and run them in SLI.

However, i know that this card is not the most powerful and it is rather old so should i buy another or should i sell the one i have and buy something like a gtx 770?

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi Capticom,

I would say the answer depends on the resolution you are gaming at.

If you are still with 1080p and dont plan on buying a 2560x1440 monitor anytime soon I would definetly save my money and just add a second 660. 660 x 2 in SLI will handle ANYTHING you throw at it at the 1080p resolution.

660 SLI ran BF3 at ultra settings with 4x AA and 16x AF at a whopping 127 FPS!

If you are planning on upgrading soon or are already gaming on 2560 x 1440 (you can get some of those displays for 300$ on ebay, I bought a Crosover Q27 and was blown away) then I would recommend the GTX 770 with the option of adding a...

Thanks! Do you think that there would be any performance difference between the two options?

Well actually I think 660 in SLI should be faster than 1 GTX 770 in games that scale well with SLI. The thing is 660 SLI generate more heat, suck more power and you *MAY* be limited with only 2Gig of ram at some point.

Wow thanks for the answer! I am currently using a dell ultrasharp 24 inch monitor that has a resolution of 1920x1200 and also another crappy 19 inch 4:3 monitor just for ease of use. I will probably get another dell or a TN monitor for gaming later.

I am also planning a water cooling loop so I guess I can buy a water block for the 770 without it being outdated too quickly
