Hello all,

I have recently bought a http://www.hardwareheaven.com/revie...-gtx-560-graphics-card-review-conclusion.html which I can still send back DSR if I want to.

I have just got myself a new case though which means I can get a second for £150 on fleebay and run them in SLI or should I send the first one back and get a more expensive card to run on its own? The reason for buying this card in the first place was my lack of space in my case.

I should probably say that at the moment I do not have 3d monitor, but that will be coming in the next few months.

Any ideas will be greatly appreciated.

Mike,
 
too be honest i could probably recommend if applicable getting a single powerful card although SLI and crossfire both have improved a lot their is still few issues that may arise.
 
With the 560 I would probably advocate sending it back under DSR if you still can and getting a single more powerful card.

There are times when it makes sense to SLI/CF low/mid-range cards but its usually an exception to the rule, its generally only worth it with upper mid-range and high end cards if you want the best results and otherwise go for a more powerful single GPU with lesser cards.
 
Havent seen micro stuttering since the days of my 6800gt's. and ive had a few sli setups since those.
 
A 570 will be fine at anything up to 1920 x 1080/1200. Both my brother and friend have EVGA 570s, and neither of them have struggled to run anything. In my friend's case, not even in 3D.
