760 vs 670

[Mistral3031]

Hello good forum people  :)

 

I was set on getting two GTX 670s for my new build but now 760 has me scratching my head.  My set up is going to be 3 1080p monitors in surround and a accessory display.  The cards i was pacifically looking at is Evga 04G-P4-2671-KR (GTX670 4gb) and EVGA 04G-P4-2766-KR(GTX760 4gb) reason i have pick these is due to reference boards for water cooling. I know that 760 has one less smx unit resulting in less cuda cores but all the benchmarks i have seen the 760 is very very close  and 760 is much cheaper. Also was wondering if the 670 would have longer legs due to having that one more smx core.  Would love some input and opinions cus at this point in my head it's a coin toss.

personally i would get the 760's especially since your watercooling the 760 with gpu boost 2 is likely to just eat the 670 for a fraction of the cost

I would just get the 760 its such a small difference in performance.

Definitively go for the 760s , since they are pretty much 660 TIs the scaling on them will be INSANE and water cooled with gpu boost 2.0 will just put two 670s to shame

Uh not a small difference in performance.  Have you really looked at the benchmarks ?

Ok I looked back at the benchmarks there is a difference, but not one worth the price difference.

The 760 is pretty impressive at its price point.  I'd go for 770's if you can afford 670's but if you are on a tight budget then the 760's are the value winner for Nvidia right now...

i have to go with a 4gb card due to the surround setup to avoid the all scary Vram wall that i have all ready encountered with my ageing 460 hawks and 770 4gb cards are just out of price range, but yes i agree 2 770s would be the right card to get. 

[Jaggsta]

Depends what brand of GTX 670 and if its just reference card. My Gigabyte GTX 670 Windforce3 is Putting down GTX 770 scores in Heaven Benchmark 4.0,Valley 1.0 and Metrolastlight Benchmark pretty impressive.

There are 4GB 760s & those what I'd recommend after 7950s.

760's. If you're going to be water-cooling, its going to take advantage of GPU boost 2.0 and its also a more recent card, so you get the new features. Also the price is substantially cheaper. 

[ZeroPlasm]

GTX 760. It's has new technologies like gpu boost 2.0 and it will have better support in the long run.

[xAcid9]

I will go for GTX 760s for this one.

Why not get 2 7950s since the 2gb of the 760 will be a bit to little for all the monitors and keep in mind a crossfire fix is coming next month and also there is RadeonPRO

u don't read do you? .... 4GB

The configuration is 5760x1080; 3GB of VRAM is very sufficient. An accessory display that is not gaming will not use more than a couple hundred MB of VRAM, so a 3GB choice is still preferable considering the price to performance of 7950s, assuming the crossfire fix comes sooner rather than later.

3gb is still good

[dkevelx]

3gb is generally enough for gaming. I have two 4gb cards and I barely ever see them peak over 2.5 gbs when gaming on multi-monitors, let alone 3.

 

If you can reconsider getting the 7950, then go with those. They're pretty beast especially now that they're like 260 USD.

 

If you won't change your stance on the matter, get the 760's. The performance difference doesn't justify the huge price difference.

comon, you said 2gb is not enough and therefore the 760 is out of the game, although nobody ever mentioned the 2gb version but only the 4gb 760.

I never said, that a) 3GB would not be sufficient or b) that eh 7950 is worse performance wise.

Not if overclocked

Awesome feedback as all ways guys still got two more weeks till that fat overtime pay check comes in but looks like most recommend 760s.  Wish i could get my hands on 770(4gb) for $400 or lower (USD) but will just have to settle for 760.  Agian ty for all the input
