GTX 480, 660, 670

GTX 660, hands down - though the GTX 670 is a very worthy upgrade if you can afford it.

Would a 670 be worth it if I could get it for this price? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B007Z3HZIA/ref=s...

Definitely - the cheaper the better, though used cards can have their drawbacks. If you can afford a new one with a warranty, go for that, obviously.

Couple of +1s to jessterman21 there. GTX480 is a cool card (not as in thermals), but noisy, less memory and less performance than the GTX660. I'd personally pick up a GTX660 in a heartbeat if I wasn't waiting for next year's models.

+1 back

Me too. Hoping for a GTX 660Ti-level card with a 256-bit bus. For less than $200.

Yea there won't be any 256 bit 660 ti's. Which is why I am representing the GTX 670 in this case

I would recommend any of these 670's no others they suck! http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E168...

Agreed, this is the entire reason for the Ti version of the 660, otherwise you'd pratically have a GTX670.

I'd definitely pass on the 480, that represents the older inefficient, noise-making space heater generation. With whatever funds permitting, the 660 and 670 should be your focus.

660s are going for close to 200, if gaming at 1080 you would be at hight to max on most games

I have a good idea watch these videos first to know what to expect from a 660 or 660 ti http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nlp--tXas9A&feature=plcp

Wow, some of those have dropped! I say get the Gigabyte triple Windforce model for $350 - that is one good deal.

What makes these different from this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B0083Y6MV6/ref=d... also, whats the difference between the one in the link I just put and this one? http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007Z3HZIA/ref=s9_simh...

Also, overall, between the GTX 660 Ti and the GTX 670, which is the best for the price? In addition, I have 12 GB of RAM and a Intel Cor i7 CPU 950 @ 3.07 GHZ, so this with the addition of either graphics card, will I get a good gaming experience on almost every game (high-ultra settings)?

That's a nice CPU and will deliver excellent performance with either card at 1080p, antialiasing and everything cranked up to max. The GTX670 I think is better value for money though (but it's pretty close).

It depends on your monitor res if it's 1920 x1080 then yes you can play games on high settings with a 670 a 660 ti is not worth it's price a 7870 is on par with it and it cost much less.The difference between the cards are EVGA FTW!Is built using better parts the trick is that this is reference GTX 680’s cooling. In fact, EVGA also took the reference GTX 680’s PCB as well.GTX 670 and GTX 680 graphics cards use the GK104 GPU. EVGA set the GTX 670 FTW’s clocks at 1006MHz, which is the reference clock on the GTX 680. Naturally, performance can’t be the same because the GTX 670 comes with one SMX unit less. This means that the GTX 670 has 1344 CUDA cores while the GTX 680 has 1536 CUDA cores.

Both the GTX 670 and GTX 680 feature identical memory subsystems, packing four 64-bit memory controllers (totaling at 256-bit) and 2GB of GDDR5. As i already said, EVGA’s GTX 670 FTW comes factory overclocked.

So, overall my best choice is a EVGA GTX 670 FTW or EVGA GTX 670? My screen res is 1400 x 900 by the way.

Should be more than enough muscle then. I'm a fan of 'more than enough' personally because the excess allows for next year's games and the year after that. Never been a big fan of buying what's only good enough for games that are already out (unless you buy cheap and buy often, which can be fun if you enjoy upgrading often).

Worth pointing out the warranty on the EVGA cards though - you're covered a lot longer than with Asus or MSI. PNY and Gigabyte also offer good warranties.

EVGA does have a nice warranty service
