I just went from GTX 470 sli to a GTX 770. the 470's sli very well, so this is misinformation. The reason I switched up was that the 770 is just as fast as the 470's sli and it is soooo much quieter. the 470's sounded like a jet engine. The 770 is barely audible at load.
 


Over a year ago, I went from 470's to a 680 for the same reason. A couple months later, I added another and got a huge performance boost.

470's are loud. Very very loud.
