gtx 570 getting old?

[origx36]

hey.

(its my first post on ltt forum)

i have a sparkle gtx 570 and it is starting to go "old"

it dosent make it on high or ultra in crysis 3

and in many other new games its just not the same as it was in the past.

i have the option of doing a 10-15 % over clocking if ill buy 2 more fans to my case that will be pointed at the gpu.

Besides that option i have Enough money to sell my 570 and buy a gtx 670

should i wait until the 770/760 ti will be out?

or should i buy the 670 ?

 

do you Recommend the oc ? what is the temperature that you recommend stop the oc?

I would wait for the 770 to come out.

[cheti]

I suggest getting a 670 cause nobody knows when the 770 will actually be released!

[Nertballs]

depends really, i've found my OC'd 560ti to still be holding up pretty reasonable, so i'm gonna skip this generation and wait for the next. then again i mainly play f1 2012 and that, so i can still max out my games! depends if you want some performance now, or more performance later.

For a safe operation, stop adding Mhz when temps reach 80-85 max, Oc is a free way of getting performance now, and if it doesn't help, get the 670, we don't know when the 700 series will hit the market or their price, plus it will be a reiteration of your generation, fermi, so get the 670, performance now, not later.

I would overclock it and ride it out for as long as possible. I got two 560s (2gb) overclocked and they run most everything on highest settings. For the heat, i installed 4 fans to blow right at the GPUs from the side panel.

What? You mean its gonna be another iteration of Kepler, not Fermi.

I don't know about you, but I've got 780MHz on my GTX570 and, even though I'm not playing the newest and heaviest games, I still get pretty decent with it on my 1080p screen. So, if you can hold on some more (which'll be doing until I graduate this year), I think you should be better off.

[Morfy]

No, i meant Fermi, a reiteration of it, like Intel's tick-tock, read 'bout it :D

[edschofield15]

What I would do is see how far you can over clock it, then if you are still not satisfied with the performance you can either buy a second and run them in sli (if your motherboard supports it), buy a new card or wait for 700 series

[Tr3vor]

No, i meant Fermi, a reiteration of it, like Intel's tick-tock, read 'bout it :D

""Tick-Tock" is a model adopted by chip manufacturer Intel Corporation since 2007 to follow every microarchitectural change with a die shrink of the process technology. Every "tick" is a shrinking of process technology of the previous microarchitecture and every "tock" is a new microarchitecture."

 

So it will be a tick of kelper. Fermi had its tick, that was the 500 series. 600 series was the tock. So the 700 series will be Kepler's tick.

ok,thanx to everyone

ill think about doing oc

and i wil probobly buy the 770

[That Norwegian Guy]

it dosent make it on high or ultra in crysis 3

 

Well, duh!

 

Only the Radeon HD 7970, Nvidia GTX 680 and Titan among single-GPU cards can run Crysis 3 on Ultra.

 

NO iteration of Crysis will EVER be an indication that a card is "obsolete" by virtue of not being able to max it. That's absurd. The Crysis games are not current generation representative, they are next generation peek-into-the-future tech demos. They're not even very good games.

 

And looking back at every Crysis game that came out so far, upgrading RIGHT after they came out was the worst possible thing to do, as if you had waited just a few extra months you would be getting a card for a third of the money that could run it.

 

If your goal is to run Crysis 3 (which it shouldn't be) then wait for Maxwell. (Q1 2014) The architecture leap will be much more economical to buy into and will last you longer than any current gen or 7xx series will.

 

The reality of it is, you have a card good enough to run every. single. other. game. on high or max settings up until that leap happens. Wait for 8xx.

My 560 ti is still holding up fine ;) I'll be awaiting the 700 or 8000 series as my next upgrade as i'll have till Christmas for them to come out. 

[Ghutsell1]

I'm still running a single 480 at stock, and it runs everything except crisis 3 completely maxed @ 1080p.  unless you really need to be able to max crisis 3 i would just overclock the 570.
