Grahpics Card Upgrade Decision

[edogawa]

Hell all!

So I am currently using an overclocked GTX 260, it plays most games at 30-60fps on med-high without anti-aliasing.

I really want to upgrade though and have several options I'd like to hear feedback on to make sure I choose wisely and not rush a purchase.

My options:

*GTX 670
*GTX 670 with GTX 260 for pysics
*Wait and purchase two 650ti once they are released and use SLI.

I'd like to keep my cost for the graphics card around 400 dollars.

I was looking at two GTX 670 cards as well:

Thanks!

IMO I would wait for the GTX 660ti that comes out on the 16th.

It's got great performance, and is in the middle of the 7950 and 7870.

I'll think about that, I'd like to see the performance for that card first, if it's a small performance difference I'll go for it.

Haha, exactly what I needed to know, props! One last question, what do you think about using a GTX 260 for physics? I've never used a card dedicated to physics before and have no idea how well that would work out.

Depends on the games you play
