Hi guys,
Im new to these parts.
I am looking to upgrade my current set up with one dedicated card. What would you reccomend.
Im currently running two of the above. They are watercooled as i have a small box (o err mrs) Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
I want to be able to run games on the top settings.
 
How much you looking to spend and are your cards the 2Gb versions

560Ti SLI is still pretty powerful and youd need at least a GTX670 to see any real speed boost

This, i went from oc'd gtx 470's to a single gtx 670 windforce, card has a pretty decent oc on it as well. Better minimum frame rates in games, much cooler running, 200w less power used and very quiet.
 
not really thought of budget i dont want to spend a fortune i have a child on her way.
Just thought id upgrade now before my cards become 50p cards.
running a 1920 x 1080 screen
my cards are 1024m so 1gb 334 core
 
Personally id stick with your current cards at 1080p.

If you did upgrade and sold your cards afterwards it'd still cost you at least £150 to upgrade, well sidegrade really

For that res just stick with what you got and reduce AA level in the more demanding games. Also, you didn't mention the spec of your PC...so you best let us know what CPU you got to check if your CPU is holding back the performance of your pair of GTX560Ti.
 
you'll get at least 100 quid each for your 560's even after delivery and fees etc., so a 670 is going to cost you about 100 quid... the main advantage of this will be (as an example) the difference between running high or ultra on BF3... and as you mention the 670 will hold it's value slightly better than keeping the 560's

in older games or no aa situations the 2 will be about the same
