Graphic card upgrade or Not

silverski

Greetings,

I have a GTX680 on my system.

Since I install this the price has become favourable.

Should I consider a second one and place in SLI.

Or upgrade to a new single card.

New single card. With the release of the new AMD and NVIDIA cards, it's a pretty good time to upgrade. If your budget is <400€ then look at the new RX 480 from AMD. If your budget is above 400, then look at the new GTX 1070 from NVIDIA.

Not sure what the RX 480 is.

Also just checking to see if 2 cards even a gtx680 would be better than one single new card further up the chain.

Dual GTX680's would be a waste at this point, a single AMD 480 would be a way better option and will cost way less than 400.

2nd hand a GTX970 is a pretty solid bet too at around €250.

As always, PC Components are always a bit more expensive here, plus freight costs

Was trying to hit the middleground in terms of budget

Agreed, a 970 may be your best bet here if you want to buy now. Otherwise waiting for the RX 480 from AMD (It isn't released just yet so you won't see it on amazon.co.uk or anything) is a better idea as it will be a similar price for a better product (We think, based on what bits of information we have seen so far).

Yep, that would be the better option.

Looking for the preferred solutions to consider moving from 2 monitors to 3 monitors (dell 24").

Not only that we pay extra for the privilege of being in Western Australia and even more for living down in the south West.

Sucks
