SLI for 760 2 GB

[Steel_Nugget]

When I need to upgrade would it be better to get a newer card or a second 760? Second question would this MoBo most likely be compatible with the next gen GPUs for Nvidia 700 or 800 what ever it will be? Gigabyte GA-970A-D3P -- AMD 970.
Thanks for your time.

The MB will be fine for any gfx card, new or old. But SLI will not be practical with the 2nd PCIe X16 slot only being X4 bandwidth.

Sorry should of made it more clear. I am building a PC, so I would like to know if it would be better to get the next gen cards or a different MB to have SLI?
Thanks

The cost of a new MB just so you can add a 2nd GTX 760 seems a bit costly to me. And a new MB brings other issues as well. If you are happy with the system, I would go with a new card and sell the GTX 760 to recoup some of the cost.

If you have other reasons for changing MBs, then by all means get a MB that does X8, X8 or better SLI/CF.
2 x GTX 760s will be faster than almost any single card out there. So there is some benefit to adding a 2nd card. I guess it all boils down to your finance situation.

a new card is ALWAYS better then SLI.

With that said, you really need to answer WHY do you need/want a better GPU then gtx 760? By the time a game comes along that actually needs a faster card for ultra @ 1080p, you'll have many better options than 760 sli.

Not true.
