So, as you might deduce from my username, I am a defector from team red now on team green. I used to own a 6870, and the upgrade with the 660ti was like a breath of fresh air.

I've seen some of the benchmarks for the 660ti SLI and it looks pretty promising, what are your takes on it?

(I am crazy enough to consider triSLI in the future, even though I know it doesn't return anywhere near as much as a 2way setup. I just think 3 cards looks sexy)

Thanks in advance for your comments and advice.
 
I, too, am interested in 660ti SLI.

What's the minimum power supply this would run on? Would a 750watt HX750 do the trick?

I'd assume so. My current PSU is 650w, and according to some calculations it SHOULD be able to do SLI. I'm likely going to upgrade right away so I have room for triSLI, though.

Yeah, that's enough. I've tested 660 ti SLI and never saw power consumption go over 400 watts. And you have an excellent Corsair power supply so I wouldn't sweat it.
 
I'm running 660tis in SLI on a 600 watt OCZ PSU. What resolution will you be gaming at? I'm only on 1080 atm but will be upping to 1400 once my monitor comes in. Was a little worried about a performance drop at higher resolutions but from what I've seen I should perfectly fine.

Stock Clock at 1600

AA is 4x rather than 8x but at 1400 I've read the difference is pretty much unnoticeable.

Haha, I use FXAA and SMAA. They're fantastic and fast.

I game 1680 x 1050 @ 120hz.
 
I'm going to pick up a 660ti Nvidia reference card tomorrow to upgrade from a 570.

Soon after, I'll be getting a second to run SLI.

I'll be gaming at 5760x1080.
 
So what are the actual realistic returns on a 3-way SLI setup? 2-way has huge gains, but 3-way seems to be in the ~15% range. Any good benches on this?
 
(SLI noob question)
I have a Corsair 750w power supply. The only two PCIe cables are plugged into my GTX275. I plan on upgrading to the 660ti. If I want to do SLI, how do I power the second card? I'm assuming I hook the molex connectors up to those adapters?
My last SLI setup was the nvidia 7800 years ago.

To my knowledge the 660ti only requires one PCIe power cable.

Edit: Nevermind, looks like it has 2. Which Corsair PSU do you have?

Gaming on an over clocked Yamakasi 27" 2560*1440 @ 110hz is pure sex with my setup.
 
No, I usually use "High" over Ultra in BF3. Too much fancy settings makes it harder to spot enemies. Ultra is playable but it dips more often. 1080p is not an issue though.

I'm on 1680x1050 @ 120hz, so I take it I'll be able to pretty much max things with no issue.
