Hi,

I'm video editor, and i used a lot of CUDA processing, while i edit in Premiere.
But there is a problem: I'm a gamer too! :( eheh

I dont know what i've gonna do about his, i've got a 550 ti, and i need to upgrade a new GFX Card? What do you sugest to me? Buy another to make a SLI 550 ti x2? by the price of 80-90€ i can buy one in 2nd hand!

Or buy another model and sell the 550ti?
I need these 2 features processing: Gaming and video editing!

Thanks in advance guys!

another 550ti is the worst idea, SLI or CFX two low end cards is just a pain in the ....
sell your card and since u are on a budget get a entry level mid range card like 650 ti Boost, it will be better.
Also we need more info like your screen resolution, what settings do u like to play in, what games do you play etc.
u r already running a 550ti so your PSU should be decent but still, Nvidia says a 450W is required.

the 670 is a beast and will give 60FPS at almost any game u throw at it, if u get that it will definately play ultra for 3 years atleast might even go longer!!
