Would you guys recommend getting something new? Or just Sli-ing the card.
Thank you in advance.

I personally wouldn't upgrade. That gpu will play things for another year or two at a level you would find enjoyable, not just playable.
Yay

SLI for epeen, otherwise oc a bit more and wait. I would definitely skip the 670, not a fan of uncontrollable turbo regardless of what the benchmark numbers say.
