670 sli or single 690

[ldc2710]

hi all im currently running a kfa gtx 670 2gig card and im considering either selling my current 670 and going for a 690 or to sli my 670,but also in the near future im wanting to go water cooled so would it make more sense to go sli or single 690 as i would have to convince the wife again to go water after getting another card

What you just said :O

I would replace it with a 690, Kfa are terribad!!

Edit: Buy another brand if you replace it obviously haha

Usually I would say 670 SLI but with this price of the 690 these days I would be inclined to say that if you can get some good money back from selling your current 670 then go for the 690

What's wrong with KFA?

Their 670 is great!

Why is that ?
Because of the (indeed) cheap ass brand name or just cheapo Z77 ?

Get a 690... Less heat, less Power comsumption, less space needed, less trouble with most games and obviously you can call yourself "Owner of the highest high-end Card out there"

the system will only be as powerful as the weakest link.

putting monster video horsepower on a weak (less controllable) systemboard
can create a different set of issues. many others have tried the same and have
moved on to other systemboards to find the motherboard was the issue.
not a motherboard defect, just under teched for the needs.

wrapping a piece of bacon around a piece of liver doesn't make it a filet mignon.
(can't think of a good automotive analogy so a food analogy will have to do)
