Here is my current set up:
CPU - Intel i7 2600 @3.40GHz
GPU - EVGA NVIDIA GTX 660 Ti
RAM - 8GB (Speed: PC3-10600 MB/sec,Type: DDR3-1333)
Motherboard - MSI Z77A-G45
PSU - Corsair CX750 750w PSU
HDD - 2TB (Interface: SATA, Rotational Speed: 5400 RPM)
Blu ray disk drive (not sure about specs)
Case- Zalman Z11 Plus


I was certain that I should get another 660 Ti to SLI with my current one.
Most/All games I have run at a solid 60fps if AA is turned off, most of them run when it is maxed out too!
But I read that having an SLI setup won't improve FPS related to AA.
Is that true? It can't be because when I see benchmarks of things like Arkham City (http://media.bestofmicro.com/9/O/348972/original/Multic...) it has a big improvement?
Can someone explain to me what having a 2nd GTX 660 Ti will improve? What settings should I be using (AA wise, I don't understand the different sorts of AA, such as MSAA, CSAA and stuff, they all do the same job right? Besides, there isn't MUCH of a difference that it should hit the FPS that hard!)
Thanks guys!



-Edit-
Also, my current GPU is a regular EVGA GTX 660 Ti -2GB
Shall I buy a EVGA GTX 660 Ti SC 3GB or just stick to the 2GB? https://www.google.co.uk/shopping/product/1207170285677...

Benchies start here:

As for settings, download GeForce Experience .... it analyzes ya system and selects ideal settings for each game based upon the hardware you have. Otherwise, try max everything and then drop down to what wrks for you.

It's not benchmarks I want haha, I want someone to explain the AA situation, but thanks!
Also, I have Geforce Experience, are you sure it does it for the Hardware you have? Because it just seems to put EVERYTHING to max settings, for example Witcher 2, which I have no chance at running at full pelt!
