SLI or New Card

Skepticx · 28 Aug 2011 at 11:32

I currently have a Zotac GTX 460, (1gb)

what would be better, me buying another 460 and going SLI or a new high end card (£250 ish)??

(Edit: Should have been in the GFX Card section

sorry)

For £250 you'll be looking @ a GTX570.

2x460's in SLi will outrun a 570:

But they will also you more power, run hotter and make more noise.

Either will be a good boost. Depends if you want to spend £250 or save some against another possible upgrade.

What are the rest of your system specs?

Cheers, think i will go with the SLI 406s. 1x 460 and an Sli psu will probably come out at about the same price as getting one 570

Cheers, thought I double check the motherboard can handle SLI, But I can be ignored

I'd personally go with the SLI. The gtx 460 is not that old so it feels like a shame to get rid of it so quickly.
