650 ti boost sli vs 770/780

[eagle555557]

So right now my computer has two 650 ti boost's in it running sli. It is doing fine, but I'm thinking it could be more streamlined to sell those and get a 770 or even 780 if I saved for a little. Moving to one of those cards would make upgrading in the future easier because I could just buy another one and do sli, and also would fix the problem of sli not being supported in all games. What do you guys think?

current system:
AMD FX 8320 3.5GHz
MSI 970A-G46 Mother board
Corsair vengeance 1600MHz ram 4Gbx2
Corsair CX 750M power supply
2X gigabyte gtx 650 ti boost sli

Personally I usually go with a single-GPU over a SLI configuration, but the 650ti Boost scales very well in SLI.
It's performance is about 5% off a single 770, and if you were build a new build, I would go with the 770. But in the case that you're currently running the 650ti Boost's, keep it.

If you're looking towards the 780 though, that would be a much larger and worthy leap from 650ti boost's.

I agree with Agent Tran. Single GPUs are better than SLI. Since the performance boost is off by 5% from a single 770 go with the single card. It will provide better air flow rather than having to have 2 GPU's blocking the air flow

Thanks for both of your advice. I'm pretty happy with my setup for the time being, but sometimes it gets frustrating when games don't support SLI (such as Titanfall), but there are some ways to get around that until they get patched. So I guess I'll stick with what I have. Thanks! 😀
