evga gtx 670 ftw le

Ah ok whats that one like I think the clock may be lower on the le. I'm going for the regular ftw but I missed it when it was going for $399.

i just ordered it this morning itll be arriving tomorrow so ill let you know when i get it, i was gonna get the regular ftw edition but it was out of stock

 

[sze5003]

Cool. Thanks I appreciate it. I waited too long to decide if it would fit in my case and then I found out it would and it was out of stock as well.

If you can't decide, it sounds to me like the $70-100 extra for the GTX670 don't seem obvious to you. Then if you lay off MSAA (which you'll have to do probably in BF3 anyway), GTX 660Ti Zotac AMP! for $290 after Rebate and $10 OFF with coupon code SAVEU10. I love this card's unique look since it's only 7.5 inches long, making it ideal for smaller cases.

Take the savings from not getting a GTX670 and put it aside into a savings account or envelope, w/e you want and use it for next generation or GTX800 series. That day you'll wake up with $70-100 saved and realize, wow now that GTX870 will only cost me $300 not $400. Nice!

If you want MSAA, get a used GTX670, but then you don't get Borderlands 2. If you like using MSAA, then sure get the 670, it's worth it in that case.

If not a Gtx 670 atleast get a 7950... Avoid the 660ti.

You can go for the MSI Power Edition. It's also a good card. You have a large enough case to fit a 10.5 inch card?

i got zotac amp edition gtx 460 for 1.5 year had no problem with it .. buy many people told me that msi is better brand so maybe i will go for msi they have better core clock to and quality as i know

 

[Silverforce11]

Go with the 670, 1080p with AA it already has a big lead in current games.. obviously more future proofing in future titles.

 

[xcal237]

OP if you dont overclock dont get the 7950

 

[FreeAtLast2012]

brandon888. I also have the ASRock z77 pro3. Are you kicking yourself that you didn't buy the Extreme 4? I am. I can't seem to overclock my CPU and GPU to high settings. I run my i5-2500k at 4.2MHz, and barely boost my 660Ti. If I go to 4.4MHz, while playing BF3, my system crashes.

I think the 670 is better cuz your MOBO doesn't overclock well. Although I play Skyrim and BF3 on Ultra and it looks fantastic. The 660Ti is, no doubt, the best bang for your buck on 1080p.

 

[brandon888]

i do not plan to OC ... that was i reason why i don't bought mobo for oc sounds logical i guess


i just ordered msi power edition of gtx 670

 

[FreeAtLast2012]

I bought the Pro3 thinking I could overclock some with it. I was unimpressed with the results. The 2500k can be pushed, safely, to a higher potential. As well, I overclocked the 660ti, but was only able to bump it up a small bit.

The 670 will be a solid non overclock performer. Nowadays, I feel like overclocking on new GPUs only gains 5-10% improvements in fps. So, I think you made a good choice.

me to

for me like non overclocker noob ... 670 will be best


tank you all for advice !

 

[FreeAtLast2012]

@brandon888. Non-overclocked- 670 is much better.
In the future, I hope you and I learned that it is better to plan for overclocking, unless you buy an entry level GPU and have a crappy monitor. I think we can all agree that a 670 is at the top of mid range GPUs, so you'll love your 670.

yeah ! Tanks to you i bought 670 ! it's on the way ! i 660 TI could be mistake i think im on 1080P ... not higher resolution but anyway

 

[moonbogg]

You got a 670 coming? Dude, you're going to be totally happy with your games now. Congrats! This reminds me of my first ever video card purchase. It was a Voodoo 3 card and it was awesome watching games come to life. YAY!

 

[brandon888]

i saw GTX 670 FTW in a job ! im buying card for BF3 ! so it was amazing ! 67-70 fps average with 40-45 drops for 0.000002 second

but im getting msi power edition i know FTW version is stronger but not a big difference i hope


now i plan to buy SSD ..... idk pick corsair , OCZ , or intel ..... my friends reccomend me intel 330 series

 

[davidst99]

I just bought the GTX 670 on Amazon for 349 after a10 coupon and a 20 mail in rebate. I also sold the game with it on ebay for 30 dollars. So in the end it cost almost the same as the 660 ti.

 

[brandon888]

davidst99

i guess galaxy brand ya never had it and idk how good it is

 

[davidst99]

Yeah I was worried about the brand but the card got good reviews on newegg. It's a reference card so I don't know how much it can be over clock. It has that new gpu boost so I think that might be good enough. I been using it a lot the past few days without any issues. It's very quiet.
