So as can be seen in my Signature, I own two MSI N670 PE 2GD5/OC GeForce GTX 670 2GB 256-Bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card's and so far they work pretty damn solid in BF4 (1080P, very high settings) and Dragon Age Inquisition and such.
However considering I can get $300+ if I sold both of them; is there a single card in that ~$300 range by Nvidia right now that performs the same or out-performs my current setup?
How I see it, one of the biggest reasons to upgrade (assuming there is a card that performs to the same level or better for around $300) is new cards have double the VRAM. I realize games are getting packed with features and more and more visual detail (realistic hair, realistic debris blowing around, etc) that GPU's with 2GB's of VRAM are going to start bottle-necking their performance cause of it if they haven't already. Another advantage of a new card; a new warranty and hopefully a longer life (mine have 3 fairly light years on them).
Thanks
