UPDATE: In a moment of insanity (or was it the margaritas?), I went for a GTX 780. http://www.wsgf.org/forums/viewtopic.php?f=70&t=26257 Want to treat myself to a new video card or cards. Currently have 2xGTX 470s, and they run everything, but most new games cause the fans to run at 100% in triplewide with high detail. Don't want to spend $1,000 right now, and want a card with 3 Gb or 4 Gb as video textures keep growing on games. I don't use texture packs, so I think 3 Gb would be good for me. So not sure if I should go 2 GTX 660 Ti 3 Gb, or should I get 1 GTX 670 for now, and later get a second one. From what I see, 1 GTX 670 4 Gb ($426 on Amazon) will do about the same as 2 GTX 470s, but will be smoother with the 4 Gb and run cooler. 670 vs 470 benchmarks The 2xGTX 660 Ti 3 Gb ($310 x 2 = $620) will be a large boost, but may not be as future proof. 660 Ti vs 470 benchmarks Or should I just stick it out for six more months with the fan noise and wait until I can afford a Titan or 690? Thoughts and/or advice? Thanks! (I cannot believe how expensive these cards are!). |

I would say Titan, but I doubt it will be cheaper when you can afford in six months. If you want to buy a card right now, I would go with the 670 4gb CU II from ASUS. |

GTX760 2gb Ti aka 670 rebranded Update: EVGA has the best GTX 780 3 GB $659 coming out soon (reference GTX 780s are available now) and it compares to a Titan on most every test due to it's superboost of 25% over reference. http://hexus.net/tech/reviews/graphics/ ... ocked-acx/ So I am now waiting on the GTX 770 $459 reviews when it comes out end of month. Also to consider, might see some good deals on eBay for 680s once those users upgrade. |
