Hello, I'm here at the forums today to ask if I should upgrade to a 700 series card or go sli with 670's. I currently have 1 GTX 670 4GB SC from EVGA and I'm having trouble on if I should upgrade to a 700 series card or go sli. I always feel when upgrading that I have left a perfectly good card useless.

From reading other places on the forums, the 700 series seems like a "remodel" of the 600 series just with minor performance boost and runs a little quieter.

Please send me responses and thank-you :D 

Also note, I prefer EVGA since I have had no problems with their cards in the past.
Also note again, I do make youtube videos and play a lot of FPS games. So please consider that when saying SLI or Upgrading. I also do a lot of visual media and graphics design in programs such as Photoshop and Autodesk Maya.

Also I have read this thread: http://www.tomshardware.com/answers/id-1789756/gtx-670-... How will this compare to like a 780?
Other Specs:
i5-3570k (4.1 GHZ)
Asus p8z77-v lk
GTX 670 SC 4GB EVGA
16gb RAM
850 Watt PSU

The only 700 series worth selling your 670 for would be the 780, and it is quite expensive for the performance. Your 670 4Gb is just as capable as a 760, if not more so, and the 770 is nothing but a 680 with faster memory, which isn't much more than your 670 is now.

No need to upgrade or go SLI right now if you have a 670, it can play pretty much anything you throw at it, wait for the next Gen of cards and give this Gen a miss. See what Nvidia has in their next series of cards and then the upgrade would be much more worth it and more substantial.

I'm with monsta, if you have two GeForce GTX 670s in SLI, there is no reason whatsoever to upgrade.

Thank-you. I think I'm just going to stay with what I got. Also thank-you for the fast replies. :D

He doesn't have SLI yet. The question was whether to go SLI or go with the new 700 series.
