660,660ti,670

[Taapo]

So i'm about to buy new card to replace my gtx 560ti and dont know if i should buy 660 or 660ti or 670 ( cheapest one, like palit jetstream )

anyone have any experience on these cards and how will they perform in a game like far cry 3, batllefield or other games?

I've also heard that palit jetstream gtx 670 has horrible noise and is very hot card, is this true?

Hi there. By saying cheapest one like palit, you meant just 670, right? If yes, take asus msi or smth 660ti. That would be the best choice right now

[rhyseyness]

660ti, definately. Best value for money, and with the MSI power one (save up for one rather than a cheaper one IMHO) When overclocking comes really close to a 670 :)

Hope this helps

Would you consider AMD? If not 660Ti is best price to performance on Nvidia side right now.

I'd consider amd if i knew which one is the 660ti of the radeon series :D

does it run everything maxed out on 1080p ( 2x AA would be enough )

Does overclocking reduce the gpus lifetime?

Of course, but it the GPU will be outdated before it dies.

It should last at least 4-5 years, and after 4-5 years, the new integrated graphics will probably equivalent.

I would also look at something like a 7970, which are faster than 660TIs

Even the single GTX 660 is a good upgrade from your current GTX 560 Ti. At 1080p MSAAx4 you will get on average +13fps. I find that this particular GPU is even more value for the money. But of course select a better video card to be able to run games on Ultra settings in the years to come, which the GTX 660 won't be able to do at this resolution.

I really recommend the 660Ti it is an amazing card! woot first post!

I would probably agree that the 660Ti is best value for money atm..

but the 7950 offers quite some better performance for the same money from what I can tell.. :) I would deff go with that.. OR wait for the next gen GPUs. honestly I would argue that its kinda pointless to upgrade now that there is only a few month until the next gen..

The 660ti counter part of the AMD series is the 7950, the 7950 can easily overclock better than the 660ti as well.

But I think you'd prefer a Nvidia card, right? Either way it's your money! I would go with the Nvidia card because it is simple and powerful, some people can't hand a couple driver issues every now and again with AMD ;)

Well since you have a 560ti, any upgrades will have terrible value imo, might as well wait for the 700 series and get a 760/770/780 instead.

[mgsstar]

660 ti is the best bang for the buck if you plan on getting a new gpu.

Pretty much this. Though an upgrade from a 560 Ti to a 670 won't be too bad value.

Thanks dude, should i buy 2gb or 3gb. Is there any downsides buying 3gb card instead of 2gb which would be enoguh?

[YowZman]

wait for 700 series NVidia cards before you spend any more. 560Ti is still a capable card.

[baxter.rs]

If you can find someone to buy 560ti from you after you buy a new card, that would be worth doing. In that case just go for 660ti.

Offtopic, does anybody knows when the gtx7xx is coming??

I've heard about gforce titan coming in february.

[BlackburnBuccaneer]

I have an EVGA GTX 670 FTW and it is great but I suspect a good 660Ti (MSI, ASUS EVGA) would offer better value for money, but it depends on how much you want to spend and what the prices are like in your region at the time!

[Umeshwarnath]

The 660ti would be the right card. Awesome performer ,and great price makes it my choice. Also overclocks well !

Would ''Asus AMD Radeon HD 7950 DirectCU II TOP V2, 3GB'' be any good? seems like very impressive card though.
