SLI or Crossfire.

Depends on the game you're playing.

Tera is going on sale tomorrow for $25 for the regular and $30 for the collectors edition. i'm probably going to scoop it up. i like how they finally changed the combat system from what's present in most MMOs.

I will be back sometime this week brehs. I couldn't miss Max Payne 3 after waiting so long for it.

the combat looks like a wack version of skyrim though...am i wrong?

SLI your current 570. It will shyt all over just one 580 and the upgrade will be cheaper.

Did you even watch the entire vid, if anything Skyrim's combat is bland compared to this.

Thats what i was thinking. Props. And ya man i saw the whole thing. Iono maybe its not really my steez.

EDIT: any info on how the SLI 570 would compare to the newer gpu's though? I know it def wont be as power efficient but performance wise?

 

[2gunsup]

Performance wise that config will beat out any single card. A 680 may come close in some games though.

He might need to upgrade his PSU as well to go SLI.

I know a lot of yall arent gonna agree with me (mainly because I know some of yall have SLI setups) but a single card is better IMO. SLI and Crossfire setups have compatibility issues with some games and can cause microstuttering. Plus its alot more heat, power consumption, and noise. There was a time when you needed a SLI setup to be a serious PC gamer but now there are single cards that can max out pretty much every game.

I def agree go with the best card you can if possible. I'm not sure what kind of budget he is working with but if I were him I'd just sell the 570 and get a 680. I'd def just get a 680 if I were him if he needs to upgrade the PSU.

that 670 is pretty close to the 680 for $100 less
