Upgrade or Sli

[foamygopher]

If your 760 has 4gb of vram then sli. If not sell it and go with the 970. that's how i would do it.

I've come to the conclusion that I use something similar to Intel's "tick-tock" method

 

Buy a card when a new generation is released.

When the next leap forward comes along, get a second card just like the one you already have and put them in SLI

Then as the next major improvement comes along, start with a single new card again. 

 

I'm currently starting on the middle bit, having just added a second N770 4GD5/OC to my PC because of the 9xx series release.  If the 10xx series (or whatever they call it) is released, I'll see how people respond to it.  If a single one of those wipes the floor with my SLI setup, I'll upgrade to a new card.

I half agree with this. 

 

It makes sense economically. 

 

I still lean towards just getting a new 970. The price to performance on it is so amazingly good.

But the price to performance on SLI 760s is much better because they are dirt cheap.

But only if he has a 4GB card, and even then not really. 

 

SLI-ing lower tier cards is not recommended. If a game doesn't scale well you are stuck with a single 760 which won't be able to run many games on maximum settings. SLI also has many other problems that are getting better each generation, but until all those problems are gone I don't think it as viable as going with a higher tiered card.
