graphics choices, what to do.

i have a gtx 670 2gb and i have found another that might (most likely) be for sale soon.

so do i buy the 2nd gtx 670 and go sli or sell mine giving me around £300 total spends for another single card with possibly more vram?

wattage calculator comes out with 650w so i should be ok on that front with my 750w, right?

res is 1920 x 1080, decision to upgrade brought on by watch dogs :D

case is a Tt chaser A31, a mid size tower. psu is a 750 ocz fatality.

i was pretty sure that the 670's in sli wouldn't be beat on price but, iv always thought 1 card is best. less noise, less heat, less power and most importantly less problems.

i guess now sli has moved on loads since the early days.. so would you say its a no brainer??
 
right, just have to try and get that matching msi 670 now! i know i could use another brand, but im fussy so it has to be another msi twin frozr :p
 
well thats good news for the psu.. but i'll need to try and source or make some more gpu power cables. i absolutely hated the 'flat' cables that came with the fatality so i used the ones from my modXstream and that only had 1 pair of braided cables. ho hum.
 
i could.. but no. they will be different and it'll bother me lol. just taken a stanley to the flats.. it'll come off! :D gonna be f@%&£! off i dont get this 2nd msi 670 now
 
fiddlesticks :( he/ they are asking too much for the 670. so iv put mine up for sale and bought myself a gtx 760! .. with a 2nd being ordered next pay day :D
 
from what iv seen in reviews it is only down by a few frames. i doubt id be able to notice the difference. its only for a month until i get the 2nd 760 and i'll have full warranty with them being new.
