Dual 550ti, or single $300 card?

[LessThanSatisfactory]

I already have a 550ti and I can run games at around 30 fps med settings but I want to bring my frame rates to 60 fps on med settings (1080p screen). Should I get another 550ti or sell my old one and get a brand new (or last generation) $300 card? What cards should I get? I like both AMD and Nvidia but I am looking for price to performance and I don't care much for extra features. Please note that I am on a limited budget.

Grab a 770. Its about $330.

You can max out any game at 1080p usually, 60fps

300 card so r9 280 but i would save up a bit more and get the 770

[Shd0w2]

Definitely a single $300. A GTX 760 or 770 will blow 2 550 Tis out of the water.

Its also funny because 3 480's are up to par with a 770 I think.. and a 480 is definitively better than a 550ti

Funny how the 480 used the be the most "powerful card on the planet" at one point.

Give it 5 years and that is how we will look at the Titan Z/ Titan Black Edition.

Single $300 card. 550Ti's are really out of date.

How do you mean in your eyes for a while? Use complete sentences.

Get a 770 for sure.

When I first got into computer hardware the titan was the best GPU out at the time, so now that time has passed i can some what understand what he was saying about the 480.

 

I don't see what's complicated about it.

That is not the same thing. Today a 480 is about equal to a R7 260. A Titan is 10% slower than the fastest card on the market.

I don't think you understand. I'm saying the Titan was the best gpu in the world when it came out, to my knowledge, and now it's slowly falling further and further behind. That's it.

the 400 and 500 series are bottleneck on Vram this days <_< i recommend sell it friend 

[LmeAde2]

Get the MSI R9 280X Gaming http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FR6XPL8 for around $300. It will give better performance than SLI 550Ti's and use much less power.

Definitely a single $300. A GTX 760 or 770 will blow 2 550 Tis out of the water.

A 280X and 770 is currently $310 on amazon.
