    Single-parameter benchmarks are dubious, but see:

    PassMark Software - Video Card Benchmark Charts - Video Card Model List

    Look like a 660 ti would be better than two GT 640 cards in SLI.

    I'm not sure whether anyone manfactures GT 640 cards with SLI connectors. nVidia lists a configuration that supports SLI, but my favorite US web dealer, www.newegg.com, doesn't sell any. The GT 640 models made by eVGA clearly don't do SLI.

    Is there any place that you can get a 660 ti for £150? Looks more like a £250+ card. (Doesn't help that it's a brand new model.)

    Best of luck.
