Which is better a GTX 560 or GTX 550 SLI

[keithyuri]

Hi there guys! Just want to get your expert opinion.. I own an Asus GTX 550 Ti Cu and I just want to know which is better between GTX 560 and 550 ti SLI. I dont have the budget right now for a high end GPU so I'm just planning to get a 560 and sell my 550 or just buy another 550 and SLI it? Hope you guys could help me decide thanks!

2 x 550 Ti cards in Sli compete with a GTX 560 Ti. Here are some links to a guy testing that combo.

Personally I always like a single stronger card. Not eveything scales well with a multi GPU setup. The GTX 660 should be out in a month or 2. I would wait and see how good it's going to be and what it's priced at.

Wait for the GTX660. if you can save money till the 660 is launched, might be able to get a good deal on a GTX670 when you are ready to buy.

Or the 480-as long as you have a decent case and a 600+ watt PSU.... Only 200$ and it mops the floor with the 560, 550 SLI, and most likely will compete very nicely with the 660. Plus its out right now .
