Hey All,

 

Got my hands on Prepar3d v3 and have been pleasantly surprised with it's overall presentation when compared to FSX. With all my addons installed in P3D, I am getting less than 20 frames most of the time. Here is my question:

 

I am running a GTX 660Ti 2GB GPU. Given its age and price point now, do you think it is worth running two of them in SLI-mode rather than purchasing a 900-series card? Do you think I could achieve similar performance with an SLI setup rather than one 900-series GPU?

 

At this point I think the GPU is the only thing impacting the performance. I am running an i5-3570k CPU which I would think performs well enough to handle P3D.

 

I look forward to hearing your opinions!

hard parts finding where your bottleneck is. could be the GPU, but then you could also buy the second, do the SLI and probably not be much better off then you are now.
