Hi everyone I am new to the community and I just wanted to ask for some advice on the above three graphics cards. I read the article on the maxwell architecture of the 750 and the upgrades in effeiciency it has over the 650 but I just wanted to describe my current sitation and see what you guys think is the best course of action for me and my wife on upgrading our pc.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE:Within the next month, our budget right now is anywhere between 150-225.
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: Gaming will be the most demanding part of this pc and specifically we will be playing Final Fantasy XIV, Elder Scrolls Online, BUT we would also LIKE to have the ability to play newer shooters like BF4 at a reasonable level Medium settings is fine. We are not super hardcore into running shooters at ultra high settings. Ultimately we would like to have this graphics unit last us a couple of years before e absolutley have to replace.
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: We currently have an EVGA 450 W Power supply and an - 1GB NVIDIA GeForce GTS 250 [2 DVI, HDMI and VGA adapters]
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-920 processor (2.66GHz, 1MB L2 + 8MB shared L3 cache with QPI Technology)
- 16GB DDR3-1066MHz SDRAM [8x2048]
PREFERRED WEBSITE(S) FOR PARTS: We like New Egg and Tiger Direct (USA
PARTS PREFERENCES:We prefer the Geforce family of cards but we are willing to branch out to AMD or others.
OVERCLOCKING:No
MONITOR RESOLUTION: 1920x1080
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: We honestly just want a video card that will be a work horse for a couple of years until we do another upgrade. I know that the 660 is MUCH better in terms of performance than the 650 but is the difference going to be tat much noticeable in terms of games that come out later this year and next year? Also should I go for the 2GB versions of these cards? How much does the extra memory play in the performance of the card? I.e. if I got a 1GB 660 over a 2GB 650. And finally, is the 750 GTX Ti better than the 650 in terms of performance or is it just an efficiency thing?
