Would it be better to get a new GPU or get another GTX 760 Ti Twin Frozr 2GB OC Edition and SLI it?

Please Help
 
Solution
That's CPU upgrade would do nothing for you, just OC what you have. I'd take the 1060 over the 980Ti due to better dx12 support it both will be a massive upgrade

PSU - ACE 750W BR PSU with 12cm Red Fan and PFC - Black
CPU - AMD FX 8350 Black Edition "Vishera" CPU (8 Core, AM3+, Clock 4.0 GHz, Turbo 4.2 GHz, 8 MB L3 Cache, 125 W)
GPU - GTX 760 Ti Twin Frozr 2GB OC Edition
MOTHERBOARD - MSI 970 Gaming AMD AM3 GBE LAN ATX Motherboard
RAM - HyperX FURY 16 GB (2 x 8 GB) 1866 MHz DDR3 CL10 DIMM Memory Module Kit - Red
 
I think your CPU will bottleneck a 1060 for example.. There might be users with better understanding than mine, but you could perhaps go for a 970.
But even so I think that the SLI 760Ti might outperform it.
Other more experience users might have a better advice.

Thanks
 
What resolution are you gaming at? 2gb is very limiting these days, even 1080p is starting to need more than 3gb in the latest games. As vram doesn't add in sli you will still only have 2gb (forget vram adding of dx12 as no games support it). Also with the other downsides of sli I would avoid that option.

I'd go 1060. Yes some CPU heavy games will be held back a bit by your CPU but it will still perform well and in other games it wont be an issue. It will be a god setup for future CPU upgrades too.

I'm thinking of using a AMD FX 8370 WRAITH Cooler Edition CPU (8 Core, AM3+, Clock 4 GHz, Turbo 4.3 GHz, 8 MB L3 Cache, 125 W) instead of the current CPU, and would a GTX 980TI be any good?
