Just curious as to what opinions you guys might have on which card setup is better.
 
I currently have 2x EVGA GTX 660 2GB Superclocked (02G-P4-3069-KB) cards running in SLI. I just received an EVGA GTX 760 2GB SC Dual-BIOS (02G-P4-3765-KR) as a RMA replacement for a GTX 570. The 760 seems to be a brand-new card too, not a refurb.
 
I have had 0 issues with my 660's, and from what I had read 2 660's in SLI should outperform a single 760.
 
Does anyone have any compelling reasons to switch to the 760?

    Also, the 760 is still sealed, and I don't want to break the seal for fear of hurting the resale value, but if anyone has one of these 760 cards I wouldn't mind comparing benchmarks....

    A GTX 760 is about the same performance as a GTX 660Ti. It is a decent card, but it will definitely not be as good as two GTX 660's in SLI.

    I would keep the dual 660s man. He's a link that should prove helpful.

    I had considered that... It looks like with the going prices on eBay I *should* be able to sell them for enough to cover another 760, and maybe make a little profit...

    I ended up getting $200 for the 760 on eBay, so deciding is no longer an issue, lol.

    It's a good choice but you have one huge limitation if its a pair of 2gb 760's because when that vram is maxxing out you will notice the image locking up. This happens if you like to run high settings which many people do. I would get a 780ti on ebay or just a new 970 or even a 780 around 300 but it must be able to overclock nicely.

    Yeah, I just decided to run the 660's for now, and am trying to save up some money for a pair of 970's or 980's
