So I've been running 9800gtx's now for almost a decade. Had to replace dead cards, but kept the same model.
I run games like SC2, Diablo3, Civilization, and such on either the highest settings or just under the highest now. I believe Starcraft2 had a few settings that were not the highest, which is the first time I've noticed the age of this card. Still looks great, but until that time everything else ran on high.
I don't do much FPS type, never played Crysis, etc.
So with my new build, I am trying to decide between the GTX 650 Ti and 660 Ti.
The price difference is about $200 ($120 and $280 respectively).
I read up on them, and the 660 Ti does seem to be quite a bit superior. However, it's an extra $160.
For the game types I play, right before I put down all that money, I started wondering if the cheaper card would in fact work well for me. I want my games to run fast, and on high settings (although if a game isn't at pure max settings it doesn't upset me, long as it looks good). Also, since I'm so used to the 9800, which is old but still has good graphics, if the 650 Ti is a large step up from the 9800 then it should run all my games amazingly well.
Any thoughts? Not having a 650, or any card past the old 9800, I have no way to really compare to see how things would run.
Thanks for any help or thoughts. I'm leaning towards the 650, but want to make sure that wouldn't be a mistake.
