because the 760 is considered a low end product now, i wouldnt recommend it

unless its midrange like a 960 or 970, SLI doesnt make sense

 

also, pascal coming out in may

Ok so i think i know what the general answer is ( upgrade ) but i was just wondering what you guys think...

Should i upgrade my graphics card or buy another and put it in sli?

 

Current specs: ( Yeah they're pretty weird but i do other things other than gaming, moistly VM's )

 

Gpu: EVGA GTX 760 SC

Cpu: I7-4790k ( no OC as of now )

RAM: 20 gigs DDR3 at 1600 mhz

Storage: 120gig PNY SSD and 1TB WD blue HDD

OS: Windows 10

 

I attached a picture of my steam library. Everything that is downloaded I basically play.

Im going to buy soon: Rise of the tomb raider, Cities Skylines and ARK Survival Evolved

EDIT: BTW I only play in 1080P for lack of funds for a new monitor

I would suggest waiting for Pascal to come out and getting a new card from there. Thats if you can take your current gaming experience ;)

Definitely upgrade. With SLI you are still stuck with only 2gb of vram, and you will likely run into the often insurmountable microstutter issue that plagues all dual gpu setups.

Upgrade without a doubt..

you can wait for pascal or get a higher card...though waiting for pascal is recommended as prices of current gen cards will be going down then

When lyfe gives you HDDs, make SSDs
