I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU, I currently own a GTX 460 1GB. Here are some options I have thought up:
- Get another GTX 460 (£125), probably the simplest solution as it means I don't have to sell my current card. However this is an old generation card and is pretty rare hence the price is actually more expensive than when I bought mine a year ago.
- 2x GTX 560 non-Ti (£130x2), tempting because a GTX 560 is pretty much the same price as a 460 and a 560 Ti is £170 which is a bit over budget.
- 2x Radeon 6870 (£140x2)
- GTX 570 (£260), for some reason the 580 is way more expensive at £360.
- Radeon 6970 (£260)
I'm leaning towards either the 560 SLI or 6870 CF setup, same price as a 570/6970 but better fps. Does anyone have any feedback regarding the SLI/CF performance for these cards? Any stutter issues to be aware of?
Games I want to play are Battlefield 3, MW3, Skyrim and Diablo 3 next year, at 1920x1080. I want ~60fps performance.
My mobo supports both SLI and CF.
Any other suggestions are also welcome!
