760 or a 760ti if you can

Posted

      Hey guys, I am in the market for a new GPU and I am planning to use it in SLI with a 550 Ti. So I want some help from you guys to find a decent GPU for a little bit of gaming and a little bit of photo and video editing with Adobe products. Please help!

Why SLI a 550Ti if you can SLI a better card, at least a 760? If I were you, I would sell the 550Ti, and some other money, then buy SLI 760s.

Okay so in the above mentioned format, here is my situation.

 

  -I have about 200 dollars USD plus what i might be able to get for a 550ti.

 

  -As I said I'm editing with Adobe products and I'm gaming.

 

  -I plan on running 2 monitors, an HP S2031 720p monitor (DVI input) and an insignia 25 inch 1080p TV (preferably with HDMI input)

 

  -I do not not need any more peripherals

 

  -I have all the hardware to support SLI

 

So I guess if you can help me from here that would be great!

780 seems way overkill for 720p gaming

 

I game in 1080p on my mini tv

gpu needs an upgrade to pair with that CPU choice.

 

preferably a 760ti or higher.  770 seems like a good middle road between price/performance
