Upgrading GTX 660, Should I go SLI?

[Arlen10]

Should I go SLI with a GTX 660? I hear the performance is better or equal to a 680, and that of a 770. I don't really want to have to sell this first then upgrade to a better card. I'm not really worried about heat from two cards or anything. Also, what power supply do you guys suggest I pair these with? I'd prefer new model power supplies.

Thanks for your help

going sli with 660 is better than a 770, the recommended psu is around 600 watts

I'm more of a single GPU kind of guys because some games actually perform worse in with SLI than with a single card, but thats an extreme form. You probably will encounter some (minor) issues though because that's almost part of having a SLI setup. If you can get everything running you should be looking at 680 results. I'd recommend you get a SOLID PSU with AT LEAST 650 watts, but 700 is better because you won't put as much load on the rails then. I know it's tempting, but stay away from the Corsair Cx series and sometghing from Seasonic, XFX or OCZ.

What is it about the 660 that isn't enough for you?

It currently cannot keep up with newer gen games at highest settings. BF4 maxed I get like 45 fps.

Oh, you're one of those guys. If you're picky about performance, I would assume you wouldn't want micro stuttering, so I'd go for a single gpu setup.

I'm not really that picky. I just prefer over 60 fps. I don't even use a DVI monitor so I experience stuttering often.

I'd also like be able to stream these games at 60 fps.
