Hi, wondering if i would see a worthwhile performance increase from upgrading to a gtx 1070 from my current set-up of 2 gtx 760s. Any help is much appreciated, thanks.
 
Solution
A single 1070 will be easily more twice as fast as a 760 without any of the SLI performance hiccups or compatibility issues and half the TDP. You also get a lot more VRAM to work with - 2GB is getting really borderline these days.
Post monitor configuration and games you play ?

A single 1070 will be faster than the 2X 760 in SLI.

The gtx 1070 will also have better frame render time variance (less stutter) and will avoid all of the "no SLI profile for that game yet" problems. It's also less heat in your case, 150W vs 340w for the SLI pair.

Here are some gaming benchmarks of 1070 vs 760.
