So i was wondering if I should have two 650 ti's or get a higher priced single card. This would be for BF4
Thank you for the help

It completely depends on your expectations and budget. If you're not expecting to play at ultra settings, another GTX 650 might be what the doctor ordered. If you're more or less happy with your current performance, even two (very weak) GTX 650 cards in SLI would make you happy. They will more or less equal the performance of the HD 7870 which costs almost $200. If you don't plan to play BF4 at Ultra settings, then two GTX 650s will probably do the job just fine. I always say "Pay as little as possible for as much as you can get for right now because you'll be upgrading it sooner or later." which is why I believe that SLI or Crossfire is the best upgrade you can do because you still leverage the power of the card you already paid...

You will essentially be getting the performance of a Radeon HD 7870 for about $100 if you SLI. It also justifies the money you paid for a motherboard that has more than one GPU slot and the beefier power supply. Two GTX 650s will run BF4 at high settings with good frame rates and a second one will only cost you about $100:

Even though it's nowhere near the stratosphere as far as performance is concerned, it's still the best value you can get for your dollar today and it will do the job you want it to do. I often question the logic of people who pay more for big PSUs and multi-gpu motherboards and then never use them for their intended purpose.
