Change 460 1GB SLI to 660 (ti)?
Now here's the deal:
I currently run 2x460 1GB in SLI, I could get a 660 non-ti for 200€ or 660 TI for 279€. The old 460's would sell used for around 150-160€ for both. Now I'm trying to debate if I should change, and to which if I do. Performance wise they aren't a big of an update, but I'd run the same amount of power with half the power consumption and without the hassle of SLI. I don't really wan't to go over the 300€ mark if there aren't really good reasons for it. What should I do?

Now is the time to change, sell the 460's while you still can fetch reasonable cash from them. Plus id say go with a GTX680 or GTX670 you wont be disappointed, the GTX660TI is good too.

I should probably also say, that I can't really go too much over the 300€ mark, which puts 670 and 680 too pricey for me. 670's go for around 400€ and 680's over 500€.
I don't want to spend that much on a card.

If that's your budget, get the TI now and SLI later if you need more performance.

It's mostly about getting the maximum amount of power with the minimum amount of money
 So if the jump up to TI warrants the extra 80€, then I'm fine with it. I'm just not sure about it being that.

GTX660ti or one of these
EVGA 02G-P4-2678-KR GeForce GTX 670 FTW 2GB 256-bi... This would be the 660ti id get. ASUS GTX660 TI-DC2T-2GD5 GeForce GTX 660 Ti 2GB 19... Either way don't bother with the GTX660 non ti version. Ti or GTFO.

Went ahead and bought the Asus GTX660 TI (non overclocked) for 279€. Now I just need to sell the 460's.
