So, nvidia released their new line of 700 series cards, and of course I want one. However, the price tag of a 770 seems unjustifiable to me. So my question to you guys is whether I should buy another EVGA GTX 660 FTW ($229.99) or buy myself a shiny new 770 (399.99 +). I know about the pros and cons of using cards in SLI. I'm just not sure which would yield the most performance. Heat and energy consumption aren't an issue for me, but money is. Thanks in advance!

The 660's would pull a few more frames.

The 770 uses less power, outputs less heat, and allows for another 770 in sli.

 

Get the 770 if the option is open. Get a 660 if you can nab one for cheap. (~$180)

I would just get a GTX 770 since SLI can cause compatibly problems.
