Question

2 gt 640 vs 1 gtx 660 ti

May 20, 2013 11:13PM PDT

Hey

I have 1 gt 640 and i play cod4 and looking into upgrading my video. What would be better?

How fast would 2 dual Nvidia gt 640 vs 1 Nvidia gtx 660 ti be?

I run a ok 250fps on my 1 gt 640 now but with a super low config file and rez set to 1440.

That's a big jump.
That parallel stuff....2xgt.....might turn out to be a big headache.

Make sure you have a psu that can handle that card.

I find those with dual and more cards to be too hard to support. Or rather the problems often mean we have to re-vamp the machine to get it to work as well as they expected. A single card is the easy path. Your choice but if you go with dual cards, be sure you have support on hand and a thick wallet.

I cannot recommend Dual Card in this case

"Dual cards" has always been a problem in the long run. To me, dual worked well only during the demo days (at a computer show in my land). Thereafter, it was one problem after another. Had to go back to single card coz support for dual wasn't free a-tall. Suit yourself.
