Hello community of Tom's Hardware.
I am thinking of upgrading my graphic card and I would like your opinion.
I currently have a GTX 660 and I am wondering if it would be better to buy another 660 and have an SLI (which would also require to buy a new motherboard that supports it) or buy a different card like GTX 780 (preferably the ASUS one with the DirectCU II cooling system, which is incredible) and keep the 660 one for PhysX (only for the games that support it).
My CPU is i5-3570k@ 3.8 OC and right now I know that GTX 660 is the bottleneck of my system.
Choosing the first solution would be a lot cheaper but probably won't give me the same horsepower as a GTX 780, what do you suggest?
Does the extra cost worth it? Is the difference between 660 SLI and the 780 that big?
Thanks in advance for all your answers, and please don't start the all time classic war about the 2 companies.
