Should I Upgrade?

[arcticbeaver]

Would it be worth it to upgrade my ASUS GTX670 to a 780? They're much more affordable now since the price has dropped. I'm also really excited to see R9 290's with non-reference coolers. I could also wait until next year to see what Nvidia will release.

[miyabwah]

Yes. Just yes.

[TheSLSAMG]

Yes. Do it.

[ERSCreeper]

If you need the improvement. What res are you running?

1080p for now, 1440p monitors are still too expensive 

[CoolBeans]

No, 670 is good enough, wait for 800 series if you want a bigger upgrade

[needmorewood]

DO IT.

Yeah, if you are finding that your GTX 670 can not keep up then yes, upgrade.

If you have the money, go for it! Its a good upgrade

I agree, but I still want to wait and see an Asus R9 290 with their Direct CU II cooler. The price to performance of the 290 is outstanding, but the card is noisy and runs too hot

[renz62]

wait for the GTX 800 series for a BETTER upgrade

[TastyMidget]

I say wait 800 series are going to be a WAY better choose

Even with an aftermarket one it will be running hot and loud. Also the 670 is a solid card for a single 1080p screen so there is no need to upgrade until you go for an higher res. (Wait for the 8xx)

The question your asking about upgrading is partly the point however, from where I stand you are really asking this

"Should I be upgrading........Now!"

So think about it properly because your going to be bombarded with many answers that are applicable but all the suggestions happily given to you aren't the right one so to speak.

Just wait it's not worth it to buy a 780 since your graphics card isn't a bad one you won't see a HUGE difference. I would wait for 800 series for a much more noticeable update.

Anyone have an idea of when the 800 series is launching?

[lachyman]

It's still a great GPU, stick with it for some more.

[Butterfish]

I dont really see the point of upgrading when you are running 1080p. If you had a 1440p then yes.

[The Great Sayain Man]

I'd say 2014/15 (That's just a guess)

I'd love to game at 1440p, but monitors are still way too expensive. I'm 16 lol

[ViruZ_HUN]

yes yes

[jinroh10]

Hell...why not even do the 780TI?

[lachyman]

I'd say 2014/15 (That's just a guess)

I say May/June 2014.

[arcticbeaver]

I say May/June 2014.

 

I hope the cards launch earlier than that, lots of games are coming out soon and I want to be able to max them out

It doesn't matter if you are 16. Im 18 and been working since i was 15. How else could i afford my 1440p screen and gaming rig?
