GTX 660 or 770?

[Marc Mondejar]

so i just bought an ASUS GTX 770 on sale
In my country: Original Price is $420 and i got it for $350
problem is i already own and am using an Inno3d GTX 660

so should i sell my 660, and use the 770
or Sell the 770(brand new) since i got it for a cheaper price

btw, i do heavy gaming, rendering, video / photo editing
i also have 3 screens (1-24", 2-18") but mostly i only use the 24"

sell your 660 and keep the 770, the 770 is a much better card to have, and for heavy gaming and rendering the GTX 770 is easily the better choice to have over the 660. Though the Vram is the same, the GTX 770 will be able to drive three screens better sue to the stronger core.

Hi, Thanks for the answer, my initial plan for the 770 was just to Buy and Sell it. am also wondering if i could just have another 660 for SLI instead, having a total of 4gb of vram, would that be wiser? adding the fact that it consumes more electricity and heat

Vram does not add up across gpus. Even if you have two 2gb 660s in sli, you will still only have two gigs of vram. Keeping the 770 is a better choice.

In the world of SLI and crossfire vram is not added but mirrored so;

2GB+2GB=2GB

2GB+4GB=2GB

4GB+4GB=4GB

ect. So You'll only have 2GB Vram with GTX 660 SLI. Keep the GTX 770.

I see, thanks everyone for clearing it up! I'll unbox the GTX 770 right now
