Need some help deciding

[Loquitis]

Hello,
i currently have a sapphire hd 7850 2GB OC and am contemplately a trade for 2 x PNY Geforce GTX 550ti and put them in SLI.... im running an i7 3770 ROG maximus extreme IV MB and 12GB RAM.... the sapphire runs pretty beautiful and other than having to bring down the af on arkham city the only complaint is that most of my 3d games are nvidia 3d vision and i cannot enjoy them with an amd card in my system...any advice will be helpful as i am just returning to the computer gaming after a few years or so lol

DO NOT DO IT!!! I wouldn't do it just for the fact that you will be doing SLI...yes 2 550tis will outperform the 7850 a little bit but the game has to support SLI first and support it well....sli has many disadvantages like microstuttering, game support, more power consumption, more heat produced....not to mention driver issues...you would be much better off with the 7850 and if you want oc it a little

I wouldn't do it. Your card is fine as it is. The 7850 should do fine in all the games you listed.

Honestly, putting it straight, 550Ti's in SLI suck.
