    Is this a tech forum now? Really hope we don't start seeing threads like this..
    If you must know. You are better off getting a single 670 if you do not intend to go over a resolution of 1920x1080.
    A 680 really shines at higher res.
    A 670 will perform just as well at 1920x1080 or lower.
    Save you a hundred bucks as well..
    I have a 680 and build computers. I know my stuff.

    Didn't start that way, it just developed into what it is...

    However, nobody is making you read or reply. I do appreciate the advice though

    You know I thought about this, would the performance increase be worth it to uprade to a single 680 from sli 560's?

    I also run a dual monitor setup

    I wouldn't know honestly. I don't have much experience with SLI and all that. The GTX680 is a machine though.

    You don't need the upgrade if it is just about performance.

    However, keep in mind ARR cannot yet take advantage of SLI. A single 680 will perform better for ARR for now.

    I will be supported.

    It is just unsupported for beta. It's up to NVIDIA and AMD to update the profiles which usually happens around the release of a major game. All SE can do is work with NVIDIA and AMD to get profiles updated sooner.

    I don't think it's right to upgrade your PC for beta. You should upgrade it for release, which means two GTX 670s are fine. It's wise to actually wait till at least the benchmark is released.

    Definetly not doing it for beta, doing it for when it goes live.

    SLI is awful awful awful technology, and generally more trouble then its worth. But hope it works out for you! Just got myself a GTX 660 recently to help out while I stream gameplay ^^
