I got a Gigabyte SOC GTX 460 and im getting a Dell U2311H monitor and i dunno if i should SLI my 460 or get new cards. What so you guys think?

Thanks

Well, grabbing a second 460 is going to be the most economical approach to getting a big boost in performance. Although, I always prefer single card solutions (the deal on my second 560 was too good to pass up), so if you're willing to put down a bit of cash on top of selling your 460, grab a 570 or the like.

EDIT: If I remember correctly, 460 SLI is somewhere between a 570 and a 580, on average. That's why you'd need at least a 570 (or equivalent) to justify the price, IMO.

Also, congrats on the monitor. I'm jelly

The most cost effective upgrade would definitely be SLI.

460 SLI still edges all single gpu solutions on the market at that res.

Agreed.

You could probably pick up an used 460 for pretty cheap (and I believe they scale pretty well in SLI), but if you're willing to spend a bit more, a single card will be less hassle (performance/scaling issues, etc.) I SLI'd my 8800 because someone on OCN was selling theirs on the cheap so I grabbed it up.

Hell yes you should sli, the 460 is still a very capable card, I would say go for it before you can't find your specific card anymore unless it's used.

Oh! What you waiting for! One more step and you grab that extra gtx 460 for SLI!
