I have 2 gts 250 512mb in sli in a system with 780i evga mb, [email protected], 4gb ddr2 800. I'm looking to upgrade my system because its starting to show its age with newer games. I think upgrading the graphic cards would probably increase my performance the most until i can afford to buy other parts. And so i am wondering how much of an increase in performance will i get with a GTX 660 Ti 2GB?

Well your processor is fully up to spec, with a nice little OC on it to boot and your memory probably has another few years of usefulness in it, but you're certainly right that a graphics upgrade is needed. The 1344 CUDA cores on the 660 will certainly blow the twin 250s out of the water with their paltry 192 apiece, and... Who am I kidding? The 660 will be better in every single definable way.

And that is coming from an AMD fanboy.

No matter what your specs, my PC is better.
Thanks for the reply! Ill get get the 660 then. But i doubt it would "blow it out of the water" since i can play almost everything on ultra except bf3. Also i can use one of the cards for a Physics card correct?
