I believe the time has finally come to upgrade my GTX 295. It has been a good card, but an aging card. I'm trying to figure out whether to go with the 670, 680 or 690.
The 670 seems to be the smart choice, in that it is priced well and performance is within that top tier range and you will set yourself up for an upgrade when the next best card comes out.
The 690 seems to be a fun choice for me. It is a similar card to my GTX 295 and I like the fact that they over-engineered the parts for it. However, it also looks like you are setting yourself up for a very expensive card that is beaten months later by whatever comes out then.
Not sure what I think of the 680.
Where do the normal people stand on these 3? What should I be shooting for? I'm not really interested in spending time swapping out heat sinks or overclocking my video card anymore. I just want something awesome and stable without having to screw with it.
