Hey guys, i am planning to invest on a new new card, i am thinking about the 660ti and 760 in my country it is both similarly priced and the 760 is a bit pricier but the price to performance ratio is not that high but i am still considering the 760 due to its newer technology; And since there is an upcoming new nvidia cards i am assuming that the prices will go down, if ever it will go down which should i choose? Btw, i live in the Philippines so the prices may differ and ordering online would be more expensive due to delivery. I mainly use my GPU to game and not in 1080, my resolution is 1600 x 900 and would be planning to get another monitor to have dual, i also edit videos and music.

My system currently is:
Core i3 - 2120
8GB Kingston Memory
Asus P8H61 MLE USB3
Palit GTX 650Ti
and 1.5 TB of storage.
500 watts of Cougar PSU

I am willing to wait until the price drop and its a bit hard choosing the best bang for the buck graphics card right now. Please enlighten me.


PS I am also considering R9 270x but i saw a post that Dota 2 has problems with AMD cards but not sure. Cant fint the post now.

At that price I'd go with an amd GPU, they deliver better performance at that price range. The R9 280 is a great card for that range. Or the 280x if you have the cash.
It runs hotter than nvidia cards, but it has better performance.
I don't think that dota has any problems with dota and amd cards... I have a 250x, which is singicantly worse than thw 280, it runs fine.

The expected reveal is in 2 days for new cards i suggest waiting to see if 760 goes down or if they announce a 960 in that price point. Also what games are you looking to play other than dota . WIll your current card be enough for now until the release?
