Upgrade to 650Ti boost or wait?

[jamesd]

I am debating upgrading graphics card to a 650Ti boost, but was wondering if anybody knows weather there is likely to be a 750 card released soon? If so is it likely to be SLI capable?

What card do you have at the moment?

I have 2 550ti's in SLI at the moment however they are the 1GB versions. I think a 2GB card would be better for GTA IV. I was planning on getting 1 650boost just now then another one around Christmas and SLI them. I have now however come across a GTX660 for not much more, and now wondering if this is a better option than the 650 boost.

yes the gtx 660 is a lot better option than the 650 boost.

Ok well I think the 660 is what I will go for. The only thing is since the 760 is out does that mean the 660 is discontinued? I would quite like to get another and SLI it at christmas and don't want to find I cant get one. Will the 660 be a big performance increase over my SLI 550 Ti's?

If it's for gta4 then I'm not sure the 650ti boost is a good choice??

What card would be a good choice for GTA4? I have ordered a 660GTX so hopefully that should be an improvement over my 550SLI. I am going on the basis that the 650ti boost would be similar performance to my 550SLI and that the 660GTX is better than the 650 boost so I should see a performance gain changing to the 660GTX. Weather that's correct or not I don't know but its ordered now lol

660/660ti should do you absolutely fine its not like GTA4 taxes the system that bad i reckon you could easily play with 1 card. Hell if i can play Guild wars 2 / Bioshock infinite / BF3 on my old beat up 450 1gb and it looks great/smooth then the 660/ti would blow me away
