660ti sli?

[kristaps552]

So, I already have a MSI 660TI PE card, and I was thinking, should I sell it and buy a single better card, or should I just add another 660ti PE ?
I know that single card solutions are better, but i dont like going through the hassle of selling and buying stuff, just takes too long, and 660ti's in SLI are beastly.
So what do you guys think? + I might start folding with those once I reasearch folding enough, because I really want to start doing it.

[Deleon.David]

i would come down to power consumtion. if your folding 24/7  theres alot of new cards out maybe look at new cards  or see some upgrading from their 7970 and grab a seconed hand one

I wouldn't be folding 24/7, I would be folding while I'm at work, or when i do finally get some sleep (which is rare, lol)

They would be used for gaming most of the time...

And for power consumption, I dont have a problem with the electric bills and my psu can handle another card.

then two 660ti for the win and there may be still clearance specials around and i think the microstutter is solved

1) No, you should wait for the new cards, and buy a single high end card. (sell your old card)

2) Generally speaking, SLI and Crossfire are known to have compatability issues with many games, which cause to lower than expected performance, graphical bugs/glitches.

I am not that worried about compatability issues, as I think the next gen titles, at least most won't have those issues, and the games that I play now, easily run on max settings @1080p anyways.

Maybe it's to do with reindeers I don't know, but I'm not sure that I will get a good value for my old card anyways, as the box and some accessories are missing (courtesy of my younger sister)

I know that single card solutions are the best, but 660ti sli are a great value, and in some games, they even match gtx Titan.

And even if I do gets to sell my card to a moose somewhere up the bananas, with my budget, I would only be able to get a 770...
