Hello,

I have a few questions about upgrading from my EVGA GTX560 2gb Ti.

Current rig is i5-2500k @ 4.5ghz OC
16 gb g skill ram
850 Watt HX Corsair
p8z68 Pro/gen-3
4tb raid 0 7200 RPM WD Black

i'm upgrading for GFX & editing.

the cards i have been looking @ are:
MSI GTX 670 Power Edition 2gb
and
MSI GTX 660 Ti 3gb

I'm in a loop, because the GTX 670 has more Cuda cores, faster clocks.
But the GTX 660 has more Vram.

Should I go for the GTX 670?
 
I have the power edition and love it !MSI's GTX 670 Power Edition uses the famous Twin Frozr IV cooler from the MSI Lightning and comes with a large clock speed boost out of the box, making its default clock speed even higher than GTX 680 stock clocks.The MSI GeForce GTX 670 has everything we love in a video card - a great price, blazing performance, and it runs cool and quiet. MSI even encourages further overclocking with its included software. That is pretty much the definition of Kick Ass. My clocks/results on the 670 PE were i say were because i have not overclocked them recently this was two months ago:


Max OC
Core: 1316 MHz
Memory: 7406 MHz



Standard OC
Core: 1290 MHz
Memory: 7204 Mhz
