I know this question is asked alot but non of the post gave me a definitive answer. The post were either to old (and cerain cards were not released yet) or the poster want something really different.
APPROXIMATE PURCHASE DATE: somewere this week
BUDGET RANGE: Max 430 euros
USAGE FROM MOST TO LEAST IMPORTANT: almost everything new that comes out in RTS and FPS and SP RPG
games I really enjoyed in the past are: Assassins creed, battlefield 3, crysis, fallout 3/vegas and the total war series ( I don’t play these anymore but anything with a sequel or games with similar gameplay I’m probably gonna play)
current games are Need for speed MW 2012, Borderlands 2 and Dishonored
CURRENT GPU AND POWER SUPPLY: GTX 460 SC 768MB(evga) 500W PSU
OTHER RELEVANT SYSTEM SPECS: i5 3570K, Asus p8z77v-le, 8gb 1600 DDR3
PARTS PREFERENCES: nVidia cards (from asus,msi or evga) i’ve seen that most games i want to play go best with nVidia cards.
OVERCLOCKING: OC: i like to have the option (no experience tough ) SLI/Xfire: is not my intention ( i prefere a Geforce card and my MOBO only supports Xfire)
MONITOR RESOLUTION: mainly 1080p (tripple screen option wouild be fun tough )
So After reading millions of reviews and benchmarks i’ve only narrowed it down to PROBABLY a GTX 670.
Here is a list of avalible cards in my country with pros and cons:
Asus GTX670-DC2T-2GD5 (395 euros)
Pro: Most benchmarks tell me this is the fastest 670 (faster than a reference 680)
Con: Very hard to get one. I also see a lot of bad reviews of DOA’s and Good-card-for-the-time-it-worked (the non Top is also avalible whats the difference ?)
EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW (366 euros)
Pro: High clockspeed, EVGA warranty
Con: probably not the best one for overclocking??
Gigabyte GV-N670OC-2GD (370 euros)
I don’t really know much about this card i have no expirience with Gigabyte. So where does this one rank in most benchmarks?
MSI N670GTX PE 2GD5/OC (377euros)
Pro: has a high clockspeed
Con: heard something about MSI overvolting the things
I also cosidered a HD7970 or a GTX670 4 GB SC
The only reason i consider these is because my current GTX460 SC 768 MB made me paranoid about the 2gb thing. Currently the 768 mb is a bottleneck for most games since 1gb is the standard and I could’ve gotten the 1gb vesion if i did my homework 2.5 years ago.
So which card would be best for me? I find that the one with the best pros are also the ones with the worst cons, thats the main reason i can’t decide.
