Hope everyone had a nice turkey day. Please read this article.
Traffic would be so much better. Two backups today and both came from this.
Wasn't any of you, just pass it on.

If you want something cheaper you can look for older 660 for about 170$. Good luck : D

I'm looking at the GTX 770 right now. It's $299.99 on Newegg with 10 dollar rebate. I just bought snowboard gear too

Don't go the whole slammed look, just want a clean look. But this past week I installed probably the first ricey thing I've done to my car. And I love it. Haha. I'll admit it's over the top, but at some point you just gotta have fun and like what you like and not care if others hate it. It actually doesn't look half bad. My latest addition:

Attachment 58616

Did you get this built by Atlantic in Gaithersburg?

Hmm actually if you don't care to much about the cuda cores, and just want something to play good games for the next 3 years instead of like 5, how about looking into the 670? it's older, cheaper and will give you similar results. Not to mention... do you really need all those cores? XD I mean it's like your processor, it's quad but most time you never use more than two. Orbital might be able to give some good advice about this too. @OrbitalEllipses

I love top-end video cards. I just look for value; after my 8800GTX I got sour about buying high-end (and factory super-clocked) cards.

Built a rig for a friend and he was looking for upper mid-range performance. Selected an eVGA 670 card...it should be a year or two before he needs anything. Worst case, he can grab one of the cards when they're discontinued/next gen releases and stick in SLI for cheaper than a new card. That should last him another year or more. I'm more concerned about new sockets than new video cards, TBH.

In any case, the 670 he has has performed flawlessly. He runs everything on a 22" monitor in super-high res with AA turned on (not sure what settings) and has no issues.

Areddi · 12-02-2013, 08:05 PM

I just upgraded to the gtx 760 from the 460. 760 is the economy card right now for the newest gen, and runs everything I play (WoW, SC2, Skyrim) with no prob. I could run BF4 no prob as well prob on max if I needed to. For $150, you cant go wrong.
