I have a 560ti currently on my computer. I was thinking of either buying an other one to sli or just sell it and buy a 670.

What do you guys think I should do?

What's your powersupply? If it can support SLI I would do that. (In before all the posts telling how horrible dual GPU setups are).

Sell it and buy a 670.

Or a 7970.

560ti is a great card but it will run short of vram very quickly.. Upcoming games like MAX payne 3 needs high Vram.. so 670 wud be a better choice...

i realy dont know y Nvidia has emphasized on a maximum of 2g Vram even in 680. Although they r available in 4gb models buts its just not the same...when u compare 2gb and 4gb models, there is hardly any performance difference...

2 years down the line 2gb will again fall short of vram and SLi 670 wont be a good choice...For a longer time investement, ur best buy would be HD 7970.. Either u wait for GHz edition, or just buy the standard 7970 and update bios to GHZ edition...

Or u can possibly wait for 7950Ghz edition...

But 2gb of vram seems kinda disappointing in a high end card...

A single-card solution is usually better in the long-run because it gaurantees a boost in performance. With Sli or Crossfire, games have varying degrees of optimization.

Sell your 560ti till it has some value.
