EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked 2GB $339

 

EVGA GeForce GTX 770 Superclocked ACX 2GB $520 (really like the new feature) 

 

i leaning towards the 680 because of the price, but what do you guys think which one should i get?

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

EVGA GeForce GTX 670 2GB FTW $369

or GTX 770 $500 i have the money for it now but most of the game i play, dose not need a powerful GPU worth it?

What new feature are you talking about when it comes to the 770? Shadowplay?!

 

Every card since the 600 series will have/get that, i would go GTX 680 if the price is that different. But don't go stock cooler since they aren't that good.

Get: MSI (Frozr), ASUS (DCII), EVGA (If  it's WC-cooled), Gigabyte (windforce?) ;)

i would go for the 680 because it preforms around the 770 and $120 cheaper. But if you really want the 770 features go with that

Gtx 680 would be better value than the others and the gtx 770 seems really overpriced.

Thanks for the quick replies guys, the new feature i wanted was shadow-play(don't care about it anymore)

so now my budget is around $400

also the EVGA 680 is using the stock cooler.

is the stock cooler any good? or should i get 760?

since the 680 is on special for $400 it look like a really good deal.

but the stock cooler dose put me off, what is the cooler like on them?

The stock cooler is mediocre at best. If you intend to overclock, you'll want an aftermarket cooler.

have the 680 myself, it's pretty good, save bucks now, when games are at a higher level that you need something like a titan or something, you can still upgrade , but i don't see that happening soon

If you want to future proof then go with a GTX 770. If not go with the 670 or the 760. They both perform around the same.

I'd go for the 680, if you can get a GTX 770 for around the same price then get that.

I would say a 660ti or the 760, the 760 is around 5% better but the cost aint worth it IMO.
Or If you're smart, wait a bit longer for the pricing on the 660ti to drop even more and get a awesome deal!

EVGA GeForce GTX 760 Superclocked ACX 2GB might be better since its a new card and will get supported by drivers and stuff more and have those cool new techss they are around same horsepower anyway
