Ok, so i have always been the x-box gamer however im starting to get into computer games more. I find myself playing on the computer about 10 times what I am on the X-box now and im thinking my Gigabyte GTX 550 Ti with 1Gb of GDDR5 is a little to small, I am looking for something Affordable on a college students budget.
I was thinking that it might just be cheaper to get a SLI bridge (for some reason my mobo didn't come with one although it is SLI/crossfire ready) And get another 550 Ti or would it be better to look into the 650's or something like that? Is it possible to get even a newer/better card and still SLI it to my 550 or would i have to just put the 550 on the shelf? I mean i gotta say for me, playing ie. BF3 the 550 reaches 99% and almost uses the full 1Gig of space, and as far as i can tell its not that poor of quality but i have never had anything more than what i have now. Never seen a real 670 or 680 in action, I know that they have a high enough price tag they better.
I do have a 670m in my laptop but (IMHO) mobile cards kinda suck seen that the 670 is suppose to be a really nice GPU when if anything my 550 seems better.
Anyone have any advice?
Maybe someone has a GPU that they dont use anymore sitting on the shelf they would let go for cheap? But I know for sure a 670 and up is out of my pricerange unless someone has a used one of them around? haha
Thanks,
