I am trying to make the best decision I can on my new gaming rig gpu setup. Right now I have it between an MSI GTX 680 Lightning and bios flash to unlock and OC it to a real nice stable OC. My other choice is multi-gpu setups between the 7870 HAWK GB in crossfire and a GTX 660 Ti windforce 2 in SLi. I have heard the AMD mid-range cards are not working well in crossfire right now but they are working on a fix right now for that, it is the least expensive option right now as well and will give me really good results in most games I play. The GTX 660 Ti SLi is a good option also, the most expensive of the three, but I hear the 192-bit bus will bottleneck me in the not-too-distant future. So please vote guys I need your help!

Also I am buying EXCLUSIVELY from Tigerdirect, so I have to go by their prices. Thanks!

If it's possible to unlock the 680 Lightning back to its pre-neutered state where you actually have software voltage control, that is the card to get. That card is a total waste of money in its neutered form, but if you can get real voltage control on it, it's a beast.

Always better to go with the single card setup than the multi-card setup if you can; it's just much less of a hassle overall.
