GTX 760/GTX 660ti are the ones that come to mind. I don't know off the top of my head what the AMD equivalent is.

If you're looking into upgrading to a 580, i can say it's worth it. They sell pretty cheap on ebay and they draw Ultra on many not so demanding titles like Hitman Absolution. BF4 runs without AA on High-Ultra. Far Cry 3 High no AA. Crysis 3 Medium-High, no AA.

 

But the card has it's drawbacks like noise and heat output. Not as bad as the 480, but it's there. biggrin.png

 

Edit: 1900x1200; 40-60 FPS range (GeForce experience settings)

I bought mine for 120€ in march this year on ebay. A really good deal if you ask me. And i wouldn't pay much more than 100€/$120 today if i was you.

What your budget ? You can a new card for cheap like HD 7850/70 and it will perform like a 580

Ouch GTX 260 LOL. If you can find a 580 for $100 that would be pretty stellar price/performance.

All of them. That's what GeForce Experience is aimed to achieve. I just added this because "BF4 High-Ultra" could also mean constant 60 FPS or 30 FPS, but no, it's right in the sweet zone.

BTW Linus has a lot of informative videos on the 580 including this one, which i used to change my Thermal Compound. Or i would've used, if the screws would turn. biggrin.png

 

 

Edit: Youtube addon seems not to work, at least for me. /watch?v=2NRHRWwrm0M

LOL that not how it works. Just pick you own settings. A 580 should run any game with playable frame rates some with AA and others without. Geforce Experience will pick lower settings than you are actual able to run.

That is exactly how GeForce experience works and i like it. Of course i could turn the graphics up and gett FPS around 40. But especially for online shooters i don't want any tearing or stuttering. A smooth gamepley looks much better to me than a bit more texture detail.

She would be a great coaster or looks good on your wall. biggrin.png I like old hardware. I have a deep relationship with my 580. Sadly it's moving for a 970 very soon. biggrin.png

 

Edit: where do you live, do you want my 580?
