Buy an extra 660ti?

[Reddax]

Should i buy an extra 660ti?

My current specs are;

 

8gb fast DDR3 ram

4670k CPU overclocked to 4gz.

NVIDIA 660ti

Antec EarthWatts EA 750 Power Supply Unit (UK)

 

My 660ti is now the bottleneck in most recent games, but can still hold out in ultra, for example, in battlefield 4 but struggles a little. Would it be cost effective if i was to add in another 660ti? My motherboard is Multi-nvidia-gpu enabled.

 

I've also heard about the issues with dual-video cards, such as micro stuttering, is this a big, noticeable issue?

What PSU model is it?

Sure then, you are fine.

Sell the 660Ti and what is your budget then?

If you really want GTX 660 Ti sli it'll be okay however I don't believe now that going for the mid range graphics card will benefit too much in a dual configuration however the games will be able to use both cards depending on which game.

Well, i have an old 8800gt, and a gtx 460, and this 660ti which i'd be happy to sell to gain a high-end card, none of my friends however want to buy any of them off of me.

Go for a GTX 770 or 780 if you are in the USA, the R9 280x and 290 are considerable for EU customers.

I'm from the UK, and i'd prefer to stick with NVIDIA.

That is fine, 780's and 770's are very well priced currently.

660 Ti offer the very same performance as a Titan. 770 is more expensive than another 660 Ti, and does not perform nearly as well. 

 

I would go with another 660 Ti.

The 780 looks a dream.

Hopefully i'll be able to sell these cards, maybe try gumtree or something.

I already stated he is fine for another card, he however wants a single powerful card.

I want a futureproof machine, with my CPU/motherboard being recently upgraded, that'll do me, and for the graphics card, i want something that is capable for maxing out current games, such as crysis 2/3 and battlefield 4 with ease. Dual 660ti is a thought but i don't want any microstuttering and some of the newer games will have issues with dual cards. I'd rather have a single, powerful card.

Two 660 tis in sli come quite close to gtx 780 numbers, I say sli, dont sell it as i dont think its worth doing that.

May buy an extra 660ti, as i will be able to afford it now as long as i know my 750w psu will be able to handle them.
