Gtx 660

[makaronidi]

hey, so i have a EVGA GTX 660 SC edition (2gb) in my rig and i was wondering if i should upgrade it soon? i have a 1080p screen and am playing BF4 and arma 2. right now it is still okay but am i going to need an upgrade soon and what should it be?

Depends on what games you play and how high you want the settings.

The 660 can still play all new games if you keep the settings at a reasonable level.

The GTX 970 would be a worthwhile upgrade if you feel you need more performance.

A 660 is just a tad worse than a r9 270. If you really want to switch, it mostly depends on your psu.

So, a 960 or 280x would be fine for 1080p. If you have a under 600 psu, the 960 would be better.

The 660 isn't necessarily a weak card.

 

But if you really feel the need to upgrade, a 970 would be fine.

If you want to upgrade I'd get an R9 290, it'll slay any 1080p game

If i were you id get another GTX 660 if your motherboard supports SLI, About twice the GPU performance in games that support SLI,
The gpu performance almost match the GTX 970 that way(At 1080p).



EDIT: The B85 pro gamer doesnt support SLI(But it does support Crossfire), A GTX 970 or R9 290 would be the best choices for you.
As long as the gtx 660 can handle the games you play/want to play it is enough for you.

I'd upgrade.  If you're only gaming at 1080p go for a GTX 970, it's still the best bang for your buck at 1080p.

Dual r9 290s for future-proofing if ur board supports crossfire

I had the same problem so I managed to find a very cheap second 660 and simply did SLI. Now I have two cards that will absolutely tear through 1080p gaming on most games, only the really VRAM intensive ones give me issues but I'm pretty happy with dropping texture quality on games to keep these cards going. 

I realistically won't need to upgrade till Pascal shows up.

I'd say Gtx 970 to 960. I went r9 290x from 660 and I am happy. But not sure what your budget is.

I'd hold out for the R9 300 series, since the GTX 660 is still a decent card. Even if you don't want to go AMD, it might force some price drops on the GTX 960 and GTX 980 (I doubt the GTX 970 will go down) as well as the introduction of the GTX 960 Ti.

The 960 wouldnt be a good upgrade, Games Will turn towards higher Vram usage, And 2gb is really on the edge right now, I would not recommend anything lower than 3gb.

[dandrix]

As of now GTX 960 would be great upgrade, screw 970 for its RAMGATE fiasco, or maybe wait what R9 300 series will bring on the table.

[Tasuma]

Only reason I went with r9 290x is I got it for under $300 new. But if you can afford it def 970.
