I have been offered 2 EVGA GTX 660 2GB GPU's for 110 dollars.
If I ran them in SLI, how would they perform? Would a comparably priced single card do better?
Any advice and thought is appreciated.

No. You can probably haggle with him a little though.

The guy says 60 for each or 110 for both. I wouldn't want to risk haggling too far and making him retract his offer. If you really think I could haggle down, what should I try?

>>59648361
Look up benchmarks for games you actually play. Otherwise, I'd just get a GTX 1050 if I only had $110 to spend, or an RX480/GTX1060 if I could afford to.
SLI is a hassle and support for it is only droppung. I'm not even sure two 660's could out-perform a 1050 even on games that support SLI.

>>59648361
It isn't even worth $110. Try $80 for both. Or tell him to fuck off and just buy a 1050. They're ancient cards with crap support from Novidya.

I wouldn't pay more than $90. Those cards are getting on a bit.

Well, the falling SLI support does bother me. Supposing I got a gtx 1050, which brand would you recommend? I'm using an Intel CPU if it makes a difference. As for money, I could go over 110, but I want to get the best graphics for the price. I'm also not nitpick about used GPU's.

>>59648449
I'll try to reduce him to 90 if I decide against the gtx 1050
>>
>>59648543
A new 1050ti is around $150. If you can afford that it's probably the better option support wise. I was under the assumption you couldn't spend any more than that.
>>
>>59648574
Any particular version of the card that really pulls ahead of the others? I've heard good things about the Asus ones.
>>
>>59648598
I'm not sure, but the differences will probably be minor at that price point. I tested an EVGA and it was decent.
>>
Alright. Ill just wait a week or 2 and buy a 1050.

Thanks guys.
