I'm looking at a wide range of graphics cards right now because I'm going to build a gaming computer. I've seen the 660TI and the 670. The 670 has better benchmarks than the 660TI but I wouldn't plan on playing with AA on so both would have excellent FPS. The 660TI is about $90-100 cheaper than the 670 but I want a card that will last me about 2-3 years. Which would be best? I could upgrade to SLI 660TI in the future or possibly SLI 670 but I wouldn't be able to do it as soon as the 660TI. I plan on playing games like Arma 3, Minecraft, CoD, BF3/4, Skyrim, DayZ, GTA 5, and games like that and I'd like to run them on max 1080p preferably above 60fps. Thanks in advance.

I have 2 GTX 670's in SLI. But 1 will run all games at 1080p 60fps and higher. The 660Ti is better bang for your buck though. Although I'm not sure about them lasting 3 years at 1080p 60fps.

GTX 670 definitely.

The GTX 660 TI will not run battlefield 3 on max settings at 1080p at 60 fps all the time.

And neither card will last 2-3 years being able to run all the newest games at 1080p at around 60 fps.

Maybe if you added in another card for SLI by the end of this year, you'll be able to run BF4 at 60 fps...

I agree with getting the 670, but the 660ti WILL max BF3 at 1080p with 60 fps as long as you dont run like 16xAA+, but with BF4 coming out I would suggest the 670.

First of all,

" MAX " graphics, means ABSOLUTE highest graphics settings for any given resolution. Meaning, if you're not gonna use the highest possible AA, then you aren't running " MAX " graphics.

Go for the best card you can get.

I'd rather spend ~ $200 - $250 every 18 - 24 months on a single GPU, then Spend ~ $ 350 + every 3 yrs. You'll never have to worry about performance drops, I prefer retiring a card while it is still good rather then waiting for it to start slowing to a crawl.

But since, you're kinda late, seeing as there are new Engines popping up everywhere and graphics are gonna become a lot more harsh in the next year or so, go with the 670 out of those two. Although I'd go with a 7950 personally .

even with 4x AA, it will still barely run 60 fps average.... with 16xAA, there's no way it'll even average 60 fps.

I would have gone with AMD this generation if it wasn't for their frame rendering times.... I notice a lot of small pauses when i'm playing on my friend's computer with a AMD 7 series card...

I saw a review on Anandtech I believe about 660TI vs 7950 and in their tests the 660TI was faster. Think the 7970 would be better than a 670? I'm also aware that the AMD 8000 series and Nvidia 700 series will be coming out this year. I'm looking to complete my build in July, so I guess it depends on how fast they come out.

Wrong. I know a guy that runs an i5 3570k and a NON-TI GTX 660 and averages 60 fps on bf3 with 8xAA.
