Hey guys,I'm currently running 2 670's in SLI i'm thinking about building another PC strictly for gaming,Would 2 670's once again be better than a single 780? as 1 780 is the same price as 2 670's the EVGA ones at least.

I think the general consensus is to go for the best single card you can buy over an SLI or Crossfire set up.
I cant afford the most expensive right away so will be getting a GTX770 then later on when cheaper get another one for SLI, That way I have something to look forward to
If your experience of sli 670s has been good, which it sounds like, then I'd probably go with the same again.
Thanks guys for the feedback,Maybe 2 670's are the way forward
Only reason i was considering a 780
was because i was thinking about building a LAN system.
Because i'm not to sure that you can SLI on a LAN system.

Sorry but if the general consensus is single card why go SLI in the future? Just sounds contradictory dosnt it? Surely selling the 770 and getting the next fastest card "in the future" would be better?
Not having a dig there just wondering why you wouldnt recommend SLI for him but plan on doing it yourself is all. I say add a second card all day long. More than happy with mine.
It does sound contradictory I am looking for a graphics card at the moment myself and googling the big reviewers are saying a single powerful card wins it for them in overall gaming experience, But i can not afford say a GTX780 now so i would go for a GTX770 then when funds are available get another one (SLI) then in the end have a system that will be better than a single 780 hence something to look forward to.
I'm not even sure if i am making any sense at all
Since when do graphics cards go down in price. The 7970 i bought in jan 2012 is exactly same price as now. And thats when its on a 'this week only' deal otherwise its more expensive.
Its a lie to say gfx card prices go down, they only go down when they're replaced by a newer generation and that doesnt happen within a year or even two.
