Hey all,

I am getting back into gaming and refreshing the rig:

i7 2600k @ 4.8ghz w/ H70 liquid
16 GB 1600mhz
Asus P67 Extreme
850w PSU
1x Asus GTX 660 TI DCUii Top edition

My question is, should I SLI that puppy? or replace with newer GPU.

It seems as if the Top edition of this card is no longer available anywhere, only the OC version. Can the Top and the OC version be sli'ed? Or do the cards have to be exact?

If I cannot SLI these, I would love some GPU recommendations.

I play BF3(BF4), COD, and Wow. I will be using a 144hz(120hz) monitor @ 1920 x 1080 and would really like to take advantage of the extra available frames.

Based on toms charts, the asus gtx660 ti will achieve ~82 fps on its own in BF3. But I would like to see 100+ static at ultra settings.

I'd like to spend less than $900 for the GPU's if needed to be changed.

Thanks all,

It can SLI with any 660Ti and it will default to the speed of the slower card. You have the PSU to do that and really to get the same or better performance from a single card you would have to go GTX780 or Titan.
Basically I would SLI in this case.

Great, thanks so much for the quick response. Looks like i'll get to save some $$$. While I have you on the line, does it matter in which order they are placed the PCI slots? i.e. faster card up top or below?
