In need of a replacement GPU! GTX 660 ti or GTX 670

Last response: in Graphics & Displays
Share

My GTX 570 died about a week ago and EVGA was unable to accept my RMA due to my warranty expiring. Now I'm in need of a new GPU and i'm debating between a GTX 660 ti and a GTX 670. I am not a hardcore gamer but i do play my fair share of games mainly Battlefield 3 and Batman Arkham City and I'm looking forward to Black Ops 2 and Medal of Honor. So I'm wondering what the community thinks about the 670 and 660 ti for a moderate gamer at the current price points. Is the $100 or so worth it for the 670?

My system:
CPU:I5 2500k
SSD: Mushkin Chronos Deluxe 120GB
Motherboard:AsRock Z68 Extreme 3 Gen 3
RAM: 8GB RipJaws
PSU: OCZ ZX 850 watt
Display: 2 Dell Ultrasharp U2412M 1920x1200

Like everyone else has said, the GTX 670. Even a 660Ti OC will get beaten by a GTX 670 reference OC. 192-bit bus is what will kill you when you try high levels of AA and AF, not to mention what @sarinaide said, tessellation.

Since i am not noticing my favorite 670 being sold anymore i recommend MSI's GTX 670 Power Edition uses the famous Twin Frozr IV cooler from the MSI Lightning and comes with a large clock speed boost out of the box, making its default clock speed even higher than GTX 680 stock clocks. MSI is asking a $30 price premium for their card, which doesn't look unreasonable, given the improved cooling and higher clocks.

The R7950 would be a good card to consider but the games you like favor the 670 still it wouldn't be as much money for a 7950 i will show you something give me a few minutes.

Not the 660ti... that memory bus is apparently a killer:

Get the 670.
It's really kinda hard to figure out with all the professional review sites flip flopping one saying one thing another says a explanation of the memory bus, which is not an issue at 1080 resolution:
