hey all, i was looking to add another video card to my gaming rig but dont know which one to choose! I currently have the msi nvidia gtx 560 Ti Twin Frozr II, which is preety good. My thoughts would be getting the gtx 660 by gigabyte which is about same price as i bought the 560 for. Just let me know what graphics card you would prefere to me. Thankyou, and my powersupply is 700 watt so im preety sure it can handle dual cards. Ask me for my pc specs if you want to.
 
You have two options.

1. You can run SLI with another 560ti (any brand)
2. You can get a good card, a 660ti or 670 and use your 560ti for physics.

The first would be easier. The second would net better game results (due to a better main card).
 
so the physics would be like what? and if i got another 560 would it run even better since its dual cards or no like even better graphics?
 
Just what it says. It will operate (once set up properly) as a physics engine. Basically in games and applications that support the feature it will generate real world physics effects.
http://www.geforce.com/hardware/technology/physx will tell you more.

If you get another 560ti, you will essentially double the processing power of your graphics card. You will not ever see 200% of the original, but it is absolutely worth the upgrade if you go that path.
 
i might just do that then what would it look like on a 42 inch tv screen hdmi? And ill be going to my computer store maybe, so i can always ask them... if its a good idea to go but the newest one out there or the last years model
 
The choice is yours. A 670 is basically 2 580s more or less power wise. That would be better than 2 560ti. But also more expensive.

To be honest, it is never a good idea to use a TV for a computer monitor unless you are watching movies.
