SO basically as of now I am using the step up program to go from my 670 FTW to the 770. My question is I have the budget to buy another 670 FTW but if i use the steup up program +20 dollars i get a gtx 770. Would it be worth to get the 770 or go 670 FTW SLI.

    I would go for the 770 classified ACX 4GB and get a second one ad soon as you can afford it. It's a great card, and when you get a second one it will be really powerful.

    Well i cant cause the step up program i can only get a reference 770. I already have the 670 FTW. So my options are keep the 670 FTW and get another one which is only 350 dollars, or using the step up, get a gtx 770 single.

    Oh... Well for $20 it's worth the new technology. The 670 FTW is just a 670 overclocked a bit, and even a reference 770 would have much better performance than a 670 FTW.

    I would go for the 770 just to avoid the sputtering fps, power, heat requirements that sli users all have.

    Yeah i will just stick with the 770 then. Its just taking so long. I have been in the Step up program QUEUE fora bout 3 weeks now. My position in the line went from 70 to 59 in three weeks and it hasnt moved from 59 in about a week and a half. At this pace i wont get my gtx 770 for another 3 or 4 months, thats why im considering the SLI option for my 670.

    Patient is key here, Once you get your new card, It will be well worth it in the long term of things, methinks.

    If you only have 2 options and they are either two 670 FTW's or a single 770 and you'll never buy another 770, then the 670 FTW in SLI will certainly out perform the 770.  And if you haven't played any demanding games with SLI in the past few years, it really allows for some great, smooth gameplay and in most cases, all setting maxed out or near.  If your 670 is a 2gb model, then the only drawback is using lot's of AA or high res multi monitor.

    I upgraded from a single GTX 680 FTW+ to 2x GTX 670 FTW in SLI. Can say the performance gain is incredible, they run insanely cool as well if I don't crank up the AA (which honestly I never do).
     
    Playing tomb raider on max (without Tress FX of course) they barely break 55 degrees each with vsync. Now if I crank up the AA and turn on tress FX they definitely start to sweat.
     
    However, neither of my cards start downclocking at 70 degrees C, so that makes me a happy camper.

    Ryzen 5 1600 | Asrock x370 Killer SLI | 16GB Corsair 3200 LPX | EVGA GTX 980 Ti ACX 2.0+ SC+ SLI | EVGA 1050 GS | Phanteks P400s

    Actually a 670 FTW is almost identical to a GTX 680, the performance difference is negligible in games. A 770 is only about 8-10% faster than a 670 FTW, so if presented with either a 770 or 2 x 670 FTW's, he should go with 2 x 670 FTW's, as they'll crush a single 770 into the floor. 2 x 670 FTW's will easily outperform a 780 or a Titan, let alone a 770.

    This is true, however, you will have to deal with sli profile and compatibility issues that arise with such a setup, depending on the game/s he plays, he may not want to go down that route. I am running a single 670 over 3 monitors, albeit not on max settings, however I find that the trade off of more horsepower for overall ease of  use and compatibility, is nice. This is coming from xfire and sli setups.

    Yup^ A single 770 is about a 2% increase over the 1 670 FTW, this is a no brainer, order your 2nd 670 FTW and join the sli bracket :)
    Most games have sli profiles now, out of my 53 games, only 1 doesn't have sli support. 



    The 670FTW's are known to beat 680's very often, so when your comparing the 770 to the 670 FTW you'll better off comparing it to a 680 for real time fps, as they are more 680 than 670.

    The GTX770 is a overclocked GTX680 (they share the same GPU), It all depends on the money you want to spend.
    If you can get a GTX770 in exchange of your card + $20, I know that I might do it.
    If you have more money to spend I would look into stepping up to a GTX780 (a downgraded TITAN) that probably would be has fast has 2 GTX670, without all the hassle of a SLI setup.

    A GTX 780 is nowhere close to as fast as dual 670 FTW's. Even a Titan gets left behind.

    Bear in mind that a GTX 670 FTW is more akin to a GTX 680 than a 670, so you should be looking at the SLI 680's score rather than the SLI 670's score. Also bear in mind that the Titan is faster than the 780, so you can chop a tiny bit off the Titan's score in that test.
     
    SLI is where it's at. A pair of cheaper 670's or 770's will wipe the floor with a lone 780 or Titan.

    SO basically as of now I am using the step up program to go from my 670 FTW to the 770. My question is I have the budget to buy another 670 FTW but if i use the steup up program +20 dollars i get a gtx 770. Would it be worth to get the 770 or go 670 FTW SLI.

    Re:GTX 670 FTW SLI or a single GTX 770 2013/06/17 17:08:10 (permalink)
    im using 670 ftw sli & this is my 1st time & i feel that i get around 80% better performance in bf3 . in metro is about 95% better in sli . and both cards behave differently  as well when it comes to temps & performance .
     
    So from my point of view i decided i will never go SLI again unless hugh improvements come in the lines of reducing temps & performance .
     
    Wouldnt bother with a 770 too expensive for 3 or 4 more frames , dont see the point in paying about $100 more for it .Seems like a rip off for something that may not run bf4 at 60fps .

    Looking at the Valley leaderboard the 770's don't impress me at all.
    My 1x 670 FTW score was 2266, less than 2% increase over the 670 FTW.

    I'm sorry, have I misunderstood what you're saying here? You're getting an 80-95% increase through using 2 cards and you don't think that's good enough? That's pretty damn impressive. There is no single GPU card on the market that can perform as fast as 2 670 FTW's in SLI. Even a Titan is about 20-25% slower than 2 x 670 FTW's. You're looking what..... just under £600 for a pair of GTX 670 FTW's, compared to £850-900 for a GTX Titan, which is going to be 20-25% slower and you're not impressed?

    titan wasnt around when i brought my cards =)  . think you miss understood me think i should of explained myself a little more but im at work =) cant spend to much time wasting ttime   
    i feel the sli is inconstant in performance . i thought i would stay over 100 fps in bf3 with sli 670 ftw but i get down to 80 even into the 70's but in metro 2033 sli runs really well for me . Previously i always had one card & performance was always spot on & you just cant beat the 1 card performance & consistencies  still .
     
    could be possible that if sli was watercooled you could really see some performance improvement ?

    It's probably just the idiosyncrasies of SLI. It's a definite marked improvement though. You'd never be able to get performance like a pair of 670's without using 2 cards or a dual GPU card.

    Hi there, I have an SLI of EVGA GTX 670 FTW, i watercooled them using Koolance GTX 680 Waterblock and the performance are impressive in game. I overclocked the core clock at + 202 MHz without crash in benchmark nor in game. The games are a lot smoother compared to my other cards : Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce 3 and Sapphire HD7970 Vapor-X.
     
    Temperature never goes above 35°C in benchmark (3d Mark, furmark and Unigine) but the results are worse than my single HD7970 ... for me, it's not a problem as I didn't buy threm for benchmarking.
     
    Finally, I thought, like you, that I would change my cards for GTX770 in the future but now I don't want to. Maybe I would have upgraded them if my waterblocks were compatible with GTX 770's PCB

    i thought about when ill upgrade next & it will be 870's . i had 2 x 460 sli & fps on bf3 was decent around 45 in extreme area's . so  technically speaking 670's should last the same amount of time.

    Yeah the 670 FTW are great cards. It would also be possible to add a third sometime in the future once the price went down a bunch and you'd have even more power.
