hey tan welcome to toms...if you can give us the wattage of your power supply and your cpu/mb info and if your in the us or where you have to buy and the funds your looking to spend on a gpu we can help. with gpu right now amd is the leader in value on gpu and cpu for low cost gaming rigs. nvidia in some games has the highest fps but your spending a lot of cash to get those high frame rates. bf4 and amd came out with new engine called mantle. so if your going to play a lot of bf4 a amd card would be a better buy. right now both amd and nvidia doing gpu and game bundles. with amd right now the older 7800/7900 cards are on fire sale as amd wants to get rid of them before the newer 8000 line next year and that the newer r line of cards have come out.

smorizio :

there is no retail 8000 series cards. they are for OEMs to trick people into thinking they have the newest stuff. the current R series is the next gen and just came out so you'll be waiting quite a while(1year<) for even newer R series cards to come out

hard for me to find online retailer for your location. the 660/660ti cards are the card above the one you have. the replacement 760/770 are the replacment for those two cards. the 780/780ti may be out of your funding. on amd side the 7870/7870 ghz cards the 7870xt the 7950/7970 are all cards that are faster then the 560ti. if you can look for the 7970 ghz cards.

um. the 760 is replacement for the 660 ti and 770 if for 680. no point in getting a 7870 xt. a 7950 boost or 760 will be better. 7970s are overpriced right now, the r9-280X(basically same thing) and the gtx 770(slightly better) are cheaper than it.

will my mobo is able to install the new r9 280 cards? feel like getting it =)

smorizio · Dec 4, 2013

yes the h61 will run any of the newer gpu. the h61 is the older pci 2.0 based chipset.

Gerald Tan · Dec 4, 2013

does it have any performance impact? :| is my power supply enough? 280x , 290 , 290x which are more value for money in ur opinon? xD

smorizio · Dec 4, 2013

the 280x or the 290. with gpu and cpu within 12 months or less there a newer and faster gpu out there. your better off with the 280x and a good 650w power supply. if you think of getting a mb that can do two gpu at once then use a 850w power supply. newer gpu right not cant max out the pci 2.0 bus. newer gpu might.

airplanegeek · Dec 4, 2013

if you going to cf with the 290 then get a 900w+ psu. the hawaii boards draw lots of power

Gerald Tan · Dec 4, 2013

if a single 290 is 500w psu enough? :|

airplanegeek · Dec 4, 2013

no, you should get a 650 w

Gerald Tan · Dec 4, 2013

if i wanna get a gtx card and something that uses 500w powersupply any suggestion??

airplanegeek · Dec 4, 2013

a gtx 760

you are hilarious. what brand is your 6670? what settings can your 6670 play in bf4? low settings 720p at 35fps? 6670 for 80? i can get one from newegg for 60. im chinese also so im not trying to make fun of you but your comment was just too funny

airplanegeek · Dec 4, 2013

I would consider the 6670 to be an entry level card, not medium. that would be something like the gtx 650 ti boost. im just saying that hardly any gamers use monitors with a 4:3 and 720p, its all 16:9 and 1080p. the hd 6670 is even worse then his current card so i don't know why you would sell it to him. As a matter of fact i do consider Asus, Sapphire, and Gigabyte to be very reputable brands, and how can one consider tech process? I also think i'll also keep my 760 instead of a 6670

Mr Exp,

You are a funny guy.

AMD 6670 is middle-level graphics card, play <<BTF4>> with very high setting is really impossible.
but it's enough to play it in normal resolution 1280 x 1024, maybe you can have a try.

Regarding the price, I know you are a oldfish in this river, you can get a very good price from good supplier, but it's not my business, do you consider the brand, tech-process and any other factors?

Respect is first principle in social relationship. Sorry I don't wanna make fun of you but your words are too naive.

Please leave Tomshardware.

The guy wants to upgrade from a 560 Ti, and you suggest a low end 6670? His current 560 Ti would wipe the floor with a 6670, that would be a huge downgrade.
