What resolution? A 670 would give you better performance.

You want a fast video card, but you have plenty of time to wait around while levels load from spinning platters?
Why no SSD?

What resolution?

LG 32 Inch TV

i paly on 1080P

sure but i mean ... witch will be better bang for buck ?


cause 680 will give even more performance but it's worst bang for buck .. compared to the 660 ti and 670







em ... i don't need SSD

 

[sze5003]

An SSD won't improve your game performance. Yes it may load the level quicker, but you won't see better visuals or fps from an SSD over a regular HD.

The 670 outperforms a 660ti. Yes the 660ti can be overclocked to match the 670 but so you can also overclock the 670. Depends on your budget really. If you are on a budget get the 660ti.

But you do need one of those video cards, playing at 1080p?

Whats the big deal he doesn't want an SSD..Just because you can afford one of those cards doesn't mean you should automatically need an SSD.

what is strange here ? my tv has 1080P ;/ is that something new for you ???

 

[sze5003]

Ok so your resolution cant be 1920x1080. Go with the 670. Actually for large resolutions like that you can try Amd 7950 too or 7970.

 

[brandon888]

wait .. why ? why my resolution cant me 1080p ?

and well amd sorry but im nvidia fanboy

 

[sze5003]

It may be 1080p, but its a 32" Tv. When you say 1080p most people assume you are running at resolution of 1920x1080 which is usually common for 22 inch monitors. Your actual resolution will be different, probably much larger. If you right click on your desktop and go to properties check the Display resolution.

 

[Durvelle27]

your res will be 1920x1080

i use a 32" vizio for gaming 1080p

Thanks for confirming that. Didn't know that 32" can go up to that even if its a tv. I thought it could be larger.

I would go with the 670 you should be great.

 

[Durvelle27]

nope lol most HDTVs resolutions are gonna be either 1280x720 = 720p, 1366x768 =720p, 1920x1080 =1080p, or 2560x1080 =1080p

 

[sze5003]

Yeh the 2560x1080 is what I was thinking of.

only some 50" and above tvs have that

yes it is . the GTX 670 is worth every penny

the GTX 660 Ti and AA won't really agree with each other due to the 192bit bus

This is also a very card
