SLI 2 EVGA GTX 560's or get 1 EVGA GTX 580????

[Meatslush]

I already have 1 GTX 560. I want better performance. Should I get a EVGA GTX 580 or just buy another EVGA GTX 560 and SLI them? I don't know what would be better. Below are the specs for the one I have. My screen resolution on my monitor is 1920x1080.

If you don't like anything AMD has to offer then just wait a bit and see where the gtx 670 comes in at. I don't think the 580 is good value and I'd rather have one current gen GPU as opposed to 2 last gen ones.

1 card solution is always preferred. I hope you're not thinking about buying a new gtx 580 though. At those prices I would wait for the gtx 670.

when is the gtx 670 comming out?

I'm not against ATI I just heard that some games are designed for nvidia cards and you can't see certain effects unless you have an nvidia card.

I don't have a clue though. Thats just something I heard. If it's true then I prefer nvidia. If it's not then point me towards a Ati card that can perform much better then my EVGA GTX 560 that I'm dissapointed in.

Strictly btw those 2, I would take 580. However, as of now I would prefer 7870 > 580 and 670 > 7950 > 7870.

I would take a 690 over everything

We've only seen unofficial benchmarks. They look good, but look before you leap. Keep an open mind and check the "real" reviews.
