What Graphics Card Should I Pick?

Refractor · Mar 30, 2013

Hey Everyone, I am planning on building my 2nd gaming computer and I am debating on what card to get. I am thinking between a GTX 670 vs a GTX 660 (Non Ti) In SLI? What do you guys think and what would you pick and or different card you would pick over these? I plan on running 3 monitors but for now going to be running @ 1920x1080. Also I figured that two 660's would be better because of the price one GTX 670 Is around $400-420 and the two 660's are $400 for both.

As you're going to run 3 monitors then you need more VRAM. A lot of games almost use 2 GB of VRAM already at 1080p. As far goes for the 1080p, then a single GTX 670 is my suggestion. There really isn't something out there that it can't run in high details. 2 GPUs will mean worse support and more stuttering, in my opinion it's always best getting a single GPU.

2 GPUs don't always mean 2 times the performance, but it does mean 2 times the heat and 2 times the power consumption

Well, I agree and disagree. At 1080P 2GB ram is the most you need. 1 GPU is definitely better than multi GPU for consistent FPS But why not get the 7970 Ghz edition for slightly more than the GTX670? Titan aside, it's the best performing GPU out there incl GTX680. That's where I would spend my money.
