Hey guys

Thought I'd throw the question in the title to get your thoughts on what you would do?

Thinking of upgrading and it will either be 660ti SLI or 7950 crossfire?

My rig is in my sig and I appreciate the responses and suggests.

Yeah that was what I was thinking mate. They are epic cards but I was thinking about power efficiency, overclocking potential and heat.

I knew you'll say something like this...
If you look at my sig rig.. my set up is not so power efficiant, however our systems will outperform any of those single gpu solutions.

So till the next big thing I say wait man, you got the power to do what ever now...

a 570 SLI is good to keep until 7xx series come out.

If you had a single 570 than we could talk different things.

Keep you 570's unless you've got the cash to burn (And if you did I would guess you would be looking at 670's or above)
