I have GTX 275 SLI and want to upgrate

[clone65]

Hello,
I run i7 920
GTX 275 in SLI
12 GB RAM
850 power supply

I was thinking about upgrading my system to something new and i cant find any good comparison so here is my question:
Is it enough to go for GTX 660 or i need to go for GTX 660 TI or even GTX 670 and what about 650 TI in SLI.

Tnx for help.

I'd go 660 TI for 300$ unless money isn't an issue than go for GTX 670 400$. Also its always better to have a single powerful GPU than to get two lower cards to SLI.

The 660 ti isn't much better than the 660.

I'd go for the 660 and call it a day.

Edit: If you're going for the 400$ price range, get the 7970 instead of the 670.

a 660 would pretty much be a "sidegrade". the 660ti doesn't give *that* much more performance over a 660 so i'd suggest going for the 670.

a gtx 670 would be a pretty good upgrade from your gtx 275 in sli, and with that power supply you could even add another later, honestly on the nvidia side i wouldn't go for anything lower then gtx 670, cause even the 660ti only has 192-bit memory bandwidth, and the 650ti has 128-bit to my knowledge. if you want multiple low end cards, then i would get crossfire 7950 or 7870, if you dont want to spend 400 bucks on a new card, then even a single 7950 would suite your needs well. if you get an amd card(s) then overclock them to take full advantage of them

I'm 100% behind what "williamjuly2003" said.

It might be a better bang for buck to get a 660 over 660 ti, but ALWAYS go single GPU power, then go for SLI later if you want more power.

Well I have terrible experience with ATI cards specialy with drivers. Are they any better now days??

 

[clone65]

Yes and I almost forgot I'm looking for a grafic card that will last me at least 3 years same as those two 275 GTX's.

The 7970 GHZ card is a great card. As for driver problems I have not had any to deal with.


MSI for $500.00

Also uses a lot less wattage then the old 275 GTX's did too.

then get a 670 to make the upgrade worth it.
