470 sli or 580 sli

[umboma]

Hello,

I've got the 470 in sli, it's playing games well but i've got an upgrade itch and thats the weakest part in my machine would I see massive improvements in I upgrade to the 580's in sli?

Many Thanks

What res do you play at? And with new cards coming within the next few months it'd be silly to upgrade now, especially with those cards!

Buy something small to keep the itch away till the new cards.

Not worth the huge outlay to be honest.

Not worth it tbh, though it does depend on what res you're on.

currently playing at 1920x1080, i hate the itch lol, I suppose I should wait for the next gen to come in...

waste of money at that res, you will see improvements in benchmarks but thats hardly worth the extra money. Get two more monitors and play at 5760x1080 then it would be worth it
