    Hi,

    Guys what FPS do you think I'll get with the below set up on a Qnix 27".

    Cooler Master CM Storm Enforcer - USB3
    MSI Z87-GD65 Gaming Motherboard
    i5 (4670K) CPU
    Cooler Master Hyper 212 EVO CPU Cooler
    EVGA GeForce GTX 660 SUPERCLOCKED 2048MB
    G.Skill 8GB (2 x 4GB) Ripjaws-X DDR3 2133MHz
    EVGA 750W PSU
    Samsung SSD 120GB 840 PRO Series SATA
    WD 1TB CAVIAR BLUE
    Windows 8


    I've a chance of getting another 660 SC for €73, or selling the one I have for around €140 ( not used yet ) and buying a GTX 670 FTW 4GB for around €150.

    So question is, is 2 x 660 SC @ a cost of €73 better than 1 x 670 @ a overall cost of €10. Value for money isn't the concern it's performance.

    If there's a better GTX GPU that'll give me better FPS than the above please let me know(excluding Titan and 780 ).


    Cheers

    2 660s will outperform a Titan, let alone a 670 at the cost if less VRAM (which you won't need anyways unless running multiple high res screens). If you can stretch your budget, there are 660tis going for a tad over 200 euro on novatech. They are Zotac's, 5 year warranty, fantastic coolers, appreciably more power than 660s. As far as "future-proofing" (loaded term) they would push a lot if frames in 1440p, which is great. If you can stretch the budget slightly, I think that'd be a good choice.

    Cheers, what FPS do you think I'd get on the Qnix 27" 1440 Monitors with this set up using 2 x 660 SC's at the highest setting compared to 2 x 660 Ti's?

    The guy I get my parts from doesn't do that model, chances are I could get 2 of the below for around €100 each, this way after selling my 660 SC it'll only cost me an additional €60. I'm assuming the 1st one is the best with it being 3GB, any issues with the coolers on any of these that you've heard of ?
