I cannot decide if I should upgrade or not, right now I can max every game I have without a hitch but I'm thinking crysis 3. I have to play on max settings and I don't know if my two 2gb gtx 460's will push it or not. I have been looking at a single gtx 670 4gb which although would boost my performance by only about 5% it would give me room to upgrade if I needed to when C3 hits the shelves.
In my despair I called a pc parts store and asked them. They said I should sit where I was at and that the cost would not justify the upgrade. They also went on to tell me that if I put two gtx 670's in sli that I would only utilize half their performance because I have a 2.0 slot instead of 3.0, correct me if I'm wrong but I swore I read somewhere that the 2.0/3.0 really didn't matter?
The cost of the 670 is around $439 after rebate with a copy of borderlands 2 which is a good deal to me and I wouldn't mind running through BL2. If I wait till February though the price of the 670 may drop a bit but that is a gamble too; I would also have a clearer picture of what C3 will require so you can see my dilemma. Anyways I guess I just need a little friendly advice on what I should do, I was not totally convinced by what the store told me. Do I just sit where I'm at or make room to upgrade for just one game?
System specs:
(I do not Overclock anything in my system as of yet)
Windows 7 64bit
AMD Phenom(tm) II X6 1100T Processor 3.30 GHz
Asus M4N98TD evo motherboard
1100 watt psu
16 gb ram
gtx 460 2gb sli
Asus VH238 1920 x 1080
Thanks in advance for any input!
