Graphics card, now or later?
Hey guys,
I currently have a GTX 660 and I wonder what would last longer:
- Buy another gtx 660 (They are cheap now since the 700 series is coming)
- Or wait a few years and get a video card then for about the same price
Which of them would last longer?

It depends on what the OP wants. With the new consoles comes MUCH better games in terms of quality and what computers will also need to run them, since they aren't being built for platforms with 8 year old hardware. Chances are a 550 isn't going to be running much on anything higher then Medium by the end of the year, and some people PC game to get the best possible quality. So a 770 would get him very high quality games, better then a 660ti can now.

What do you use your GPU power for? SLI Doesn't really scale well for games. You'd be better off to either wait, or sell your 660 and buy a 700 series card.
