I know this is pure speculation but how long do you all think the GTX 670 can at the very least match a PS4 graphics?

I know with watch dogs its just barely within the reccomended range, how long will that last for?

I, too, have a 670. Right now I can max out, or come close to that, on most games. I don't mind dropping down to "high" settings to maintain solid FPS. BF4 should be fine at High or Ultra(don't have it yet).
Considering the PS4 has a 7790 GPU (I believe that's the equivalent) and would play these games on Medium-high graphics, the 670 itself will last a decent while. It also has the advantage of being a "last gen" card (though the 760 and 770 use the same architecture) so price drops are imminent! Either when the price gets low enough from some random deal OR when i feel the need is great enough, I'll buy one... from either Newegg or Ebay... depending on my need factor :)

The GTX 670 will outlast the graphical capabilities of the PS4. What the PS4 displays for Watch Dogs is nothing compared to it on the PC. I'm not even sure if the PS4 renders Watch Dogs at 1080p. It might just render at 720p or 900p and upscale. It also doesn't display at 60fps, but at 30fps instead (I think).

Again, the gtx 670 is recommended for the PC because of all the cool graphical features available for the PC and not for the PS4 (not that the PS4 looks bad, its just not nearly as good).

EDIT: The PS4 has a gpu that's roughly equivalent to an AMD 7850/7870. The gtx 670 is another tier of graphics cards higher (think AMD 7950/7970)

I preordered AC4 and I noticed that what's "reccomended" is a GTX 470. The 670 is quite a bit more powerful then which is somewhat hopeful. I'm asking because I'd like to wait a couple of years for the ps4 to drop in price to buy it for all the exculsives it'll have.
