Hey guys,

 

Currently running GTX 670 SLi (referance versions) and now with the new 7 series being released and the Titan considering weather it would be worth an upgrade.

 

Im not one for overclocking and tbh I dont think the referance 670's with the stock coolers are up for the task. Ive heard a lot regarding how SLi does not perform as well as a single GPU option.

 

I am currently gaming on one monitor at 1080p just wanted to hear your guys thoughts?

You can rock just about any game at max details with 60FPS at 1080p with SLI 670's, I believe.

Don't upgrade. Wait until the 8XX series come out. 

The way Nvidia work is that every other generation is performance improvements and die shrinking with more efficiency.

The 6XX series was brand new chipset. The 7XX series was an improved, smaller, more efficient version (the 7XX series is just rebranded versions of the 6XX with the said improvements).

The 8XX will more than likely be an entire new chipset with noticeable gains in performance. Wait for that. Expect it within 14 months from now.

Stick with the 670s they are still awesome cards. If its just for gaming don't upgrade, stick with what you got.
