I have a EVGA GeForce GTX 560 Ti DS Superclocked GPU and was planning on getting a new card, but one of my peers suggested that instead of getting a new card just buy another of the one I already have. He said explained that it will split the load and handle the pressure smoother than just 1 card. Is there some truth to this? If so this would save me some money, and that is always nice.
What you're describing, as said above, is
Nvidia SLI. And yes, its generally almost twice as fast as a single card, but that depends heavily on drivers and how well the game you're playing supports SLI. Additionally, bear in mind that if a single GTX 560 Ti has 1 GB of VRAM, for practical purposes two 560 Ti's still only have 1 GB of VRAM available to a game, because the two GPUs need their own copies of all data. Just for the sake of completeness, the AMD equivalent is called Crossfire.
SLI has a lot of extra considerations to make that you don't have to with a single card. You'll need a motherboard with two PCIe slots (ideally two PCIe 16x slots) and enough PCIe lanes that you can run the two cards in at least 8x/8x configuration. You'll also need to make sure your power supply has enough capacity, current, and power connectors to support two video cards.
It usually makes more sense just to get a faster, single card. Especially when we're dealing with cards that are now several generations behind.
