Gtx 660 sli or wait for maxwell

[eden2012]

Currently, i have a gtx 660. Im starting to notice that its lagging behind in triple A games...should i buy another 660 for 190 dollars? Is sli worth it? Im hearing mixed thoughts..

Maxwell is slated for Q2 of 2014 so i would go 660 SLI. They'll be on par with a 1200 core GTX 780

I dont play Metro so i cant comment. That's usually just a driver issue and if so should be ironed out soon

Not just metro. "Sli" games such as bf3, far cry 3, crysis 3.. You have sli?

The SLI stutter problem is mostly with AMD cards in XFire, I think Nvidia has no problems at this time that I know of. Ya grabbing another 660 sounds like a good idea, unless you could sell it and get something newer....

Im currently jumping from a phenom x6 1055t to a i5 4670k and a new mobo...so im on a budget. Plus, i dont want to dish out 500 dollars for a gpu when maxwell is coming. I can dish out 190(no biggie) and it will get me through another year and a half..

I have no stutter in BF3 with SLI. Stutter is an issue with Amd and not with Nvidia

Thats good to hear did you have to tweak bf3 a lot?( .ini, 3rd party programs, task manager priorities, etc.)?

You have 760's... I have heard lower end cards produce more stuttering, would you consider the 660 a low end?

Dont pay attention to whoever says that low end cards have issues. 660 SLI wont have any issues in SLI. Stop worrying about Stutter.

I think you have a good plan, get another 660 and game away until it is time to grab some new hardware when you need to, SLI 660's may surprise you
