If your SLI GTS 450 isn't suffering from micro-stutter, going to a pair of R7-260s in CF would probably be an acceptable upgrade.

But why not spend the same amount on a single R9-270X or GTX 760? You can then add another one of those later as finances allow and have a better system.
Btw, what CPU are you pairing the card(s) with? What motherboard? And the make/model of you PSU?

CPU is a i7 950 @ 3.07Ghz, MB is a sabertooth x58

Old, but good CPU/board. Still able to do the job with either choices.

I was thanking about what you said about the GTX 760

KiLLMasTer20 · Apr 11, 2014

Ok 1 GTX 760 vs 2x r7 260 what wins ?

Depends if you want the increased Heat and power draw associated with a SLI/X-Fire Setup.

Judging by the price I saw, and models, I think your better of with a single 270X or GTX 760

Just me though

KiLLMasTer20 :

According to this comparison, even a pair of R7-260X cards aren't equal to a single GTX 760:

The pair of R7-260 would of course be even lower.

...plus you would have the option to add a 2nd GTX 760 down the road. Would be a monster gamer if your 1st gen Core processor can keep up.

thats Clutchc im going to go with the GTX 760 and im going to update my i7

clutchc · Apr 11, 2014

Good luck with your search for a good used 1st gen i7. Still a good choice even with the i7-950

KiLLMasTer20 · Apr 14, 2014
