i currently have a gtx 570.. i was thinking about buying a 680 or getting a 2nd 570... just looking for some opinion's.
the issue is not money so im not worried about the "value"

Just buy a 660Ti and you are fine. Its better than the 670 and if you overclock it a bit, its even better than the 680, from what i heard.

Use 2x 570 in SLI, you'll be fine with that.

the 600 series use's waay less power.. so i think im deff going to get a 600 series card.. i was just looking at 2x 660ti 3 gig. for 781$ with tax's. i think ill order that tmr.. amd then order 4 monitors.

You will definitely have alot fun with this setup! But i'm not a big fan of SLI/CrossfireX.

it's 1 thousand

It's ten times more effective, makes no noise at all.
The design is amazing
the ROP is 2x32, which is twice as much as the gtx 680
It has twice the memory as gtx 680
The graphics processor is 2xGK104, whilst the 680 is only GK104

basically, everything is improved, and it's not a waste of money

a 660Ti Overclocked is better than a 670..slightly...
The difference between 670 and 680 isnt that big, but i went for the 670 because the price difference is toob ig for too little extra performance

Went for the EVGA GTX670 FTW Signature 2 edition, and it works awesome.
Can handle every game on max..and by the time it isnt enough anymore, im more than willingly to buy a 2nd one to SLI.

yeah well i plan on having 4 monitors i have 2 atm.. thats why i would like to sli. i think the 660 ti's sli is good enough. im not worried about being in the top 100 or what ever on some benchmark

if you're going for 4 monitors you need alot of GPU memory...I;d suggest going for a 7970...or even SLI' ing them
