IS IT WORTH GETTING A GTX 680 WHEN A GTX 670 DOES THE SAME THING

[Bayman115]

Is it worth getting a GTX 680 when the 670 is so similar? Give me some reasons why guys

 

[Sunius]

Not really same . GTX 680 is 5% faster. It's up to you to decide whether it's worth getting or not. Personally, I don't think GTX 680 is worth extra $100. I'll go with GTX 670.

^this. 100 euros more for 5% faster. Imo it is not worth at all. You won't notice the 5% difference lol. Get the GTX 670 and you are set

Thx guys, because i was planning to get the gigabyte GTX 680 because its a boss but now that i see im paying $100 for a 5% performance boost it's obviously not worth it :/

If you've got the money for a GTX 680 go for the GTX 680!
If you can afford something better go and get it!
Imagine if you get a GTX 670 and you want to max out a game and you only get 50 FPS.While with the GTX 680 you could have gotten 60.You'd wish you would have gotten the GTX 680 right?
If you get a GTX 680 you should take a look at this model.

You reckon? Well i have a few months to decide so ill think about my options :/ Because if i get a 680 then i might have to get a not so good monitor/ keyboard/ mouse. But if i get a 670 i will have a little more $ for the accessories... But i do love the 680 lol! I can save up for better accessories anyway That 680 you showed me looks ugly! lol sorry but the fans and the shroud just didnt go well together... the GIGABYTE windforce oc edition of the 680 looks much nicer with the same design.

Not true. 10 fps? 5%???
5% of 50fps is 2.5 fps. So if you had a GTX 670 you would have 50 fps and if you had a GTX 680 you would have 52.5 fps...
Check some benchmarks. Totally not worth it for 100 euros more. Of course if you don't mind spending 100 euros more on 5% more performance, go for it Just don't expect a big difference. like 50 fps to 60 fps...

Yea he exaggerated by a lot

 

[Bayman115]

wow this is tough... so far it's like 3 to 1 saying i should get the gtx 680! I really dont know what to do. If i got a windforce edition gtx 670 i would save $160 than if i were to get the normal gigabyte gtx 680... Its so tough! i'm already slighly out of my budget and the 670 would make me back in my budget so idk...

Idc. Since you are out of the budget, I highly recommend you to get the GTX 670. You won't notice the 5% difference in FPS (thats like compare 50fps to 52.5fps..)
Get the GTX 670 and you are set with an high end card and you are in your budget.
