2x 460 sli - performance next to a 670?

[phrases]

I already have a 460se edition. looking on ebay i've found another thats quite cheap

I tend just to play BF3 currently get 60fps on medium/high

just wondering would adding another be worth it and comparable to a 670? dont really intend to spend £300 on another gfx card. the wife will murder me

Hey mate, another 460 and your hovering around 480/570 (depending on SLI profile) territory.

GTX 670 is quite a bit better. It depends really on what resolution you are playing at. Another 460 would be a nice cheap boost though.

Heres a comparison between the 570 and 670......

Oh ok well until i feel the need to go and spend £300 plus on a new gpu i'll just add this one in for now

i only play single monitor 1920x1080 120hz so its no major push
a few games are coming in Q4 that i intend on getting so another 460 might just give me an edge for a little while.

Thanks for your reply

2x GTX 460 1GB equal 1x GTX 580. I know because I had/have both I still have 2x Gigabyte GTX 460 OC 1GB in another PC and they delivered 3-5 FPS higher pr average than the single GTX 580 card.

I'm playing BF3 maxxed out except MSAA at x2 with a 660ti. Basically, if you can get one for about £220 then it's worthwhile (I sold my Borderlands 2 key for £20) but playing at 1080 res you don't really need to fork out 300 pounds.

Another 460 may be unwise because it will hit the 1GB VRAM wall when playing on ultra settings with Battlefield 3.
