Hi, here's my current specs;
i7 2600 @ 3.4GHz
Coolermaster Hyper 212 EVO
8GB RAM
OCZ Agility 3 240GB SSD
2TB Western Digital 5400rpm HDD
Blu-ray disk drive
MSI Z77A-G45
2x 2GB EVGA Geforce GTX 660 Ti in SLI
Hauppauge DVB-T USB TV Tuner
Corsair CX750 750w PSU
Coolermaster HAF X Nvidia Case


I was thinking, should I sell my 660 ti's and buy a single 780, thoughts on that?

Also, I've never sold PC parts before, is there a standard as in what happens to the warranty and things like that?

Also, I bought the cards both for £200 brand new, but now they're not sold anywhere!? Can anyone explain that?
How much do you guys think I can get for them, one is about 2 years old, the other probably about 10 months old, maybe less..

..ALSO how does the dual 660 ti's compare to a card such as the 780, would I notice a big difference?

Thank you :)

I had 2 gtx660's (non-ti) a few months ago. And i traded them for a 7970ghz. While the 660's gave higher overall fps, the single card is smoother and doesnt suffer from as low fps dips. 2 660ti's are rated as good as a titan for 1080p, which is similar to a 780 for 1080p. but you may find it to be smoother. The 3gb vram may also help in future games too, and games that dont scale so well with sli.

I thought that might be the case, the two 660 ti's have been known to do pretty well against a titan!
Only problem is the cards are only 2GB, but that's not really a huge problem...

That pretty much says it all! I haven't had any problems with SLI though, no fps dips I don't think?
The only problems that I've had with SLI is when games don't support it haha! Basically have a £400 GPU and only half of it works if you get what I mean!:p

I'm not planning to play on anything higher than 1080p as of yet though, I just don't want to be stuck with two cards that people might not buy in the future.. Or am I being silly?

if you do have a game you want to play that doesnt support sli properly then thats fair enough. if you have to put in more than about $50 after selling your cards i'd say it's probably not worth it though. Another thing, when you think sli is running fine because your used to it, its sometimes not until you change over to a good single card and you then see what you were missing out on.
