ok now the benchmarks for Crysis 3 is here...

I had just noticed that myself. Well either way you have another point of reference with the benchmark mentioned earlier.

should i wait for the Crysis 3 Killer GPU? what i mean is the GPU will be able to run Crysis 3 on max settings @ 1920x1200 60+ FPS before buying it...

What about going SLI? A second 560Ti won't be too pricey (picked one up myself for £100).

A 670 will be able to max the game not constant 60 FPS min but it can handle it sure. I was getting max frames over 100 and avg frames around 60 FPS with the BETA. With time the drivers will be more optimized for it from both AMD/Nvidia.

I dont think maxing out crysis with even a gtx 670 the game would be playable.I had a heavily overclocked 7950 and had to turn down AA a bit.same with my gtx 480 sli and those will crush a single 670

Since yours is a 2 gb card id say sli is a good option if it were a 1 gb version i wouldnt do it

@Mike I'm sure it can be done. I've done it. I have tons of benchmarks flooded in my photobucket. I would say also that I wouldn't use MSAA in Crysis 3 with a Nvidia card I would use TXAA 4x as its a nvidia only tech and uses less video memory then the MSAA counterpart.

is this a good gauge on what should i get for my next GPU?

I really like how they outline graphic cards however I would say that as a word of caution that both companies do great things in certain areas where as the other company just does okay in that area for example 3D has a better infrastructure then AMD does although AMD's 3D option is a bit more open and free, and then of course there is AMD's ease of use with there multi screen setup with Eyefinity. So it really just comes down to what your budget is and what kind of games you are after along with features. Lately I haven't been playing anything that has been using Nvidia's Physx engine so I may be more open to AMD's product as a value platform and the stronger performer of late in most titles.

It's actually the 1GB version I've got. 1GB is fine for one screen at 1920x1200, if you tweak your settings. Reducing AA and AF is the primary way to do this...haven't had a problem yet. Heck, I could run Skyrim on Ultra with one 560Ti at 1080p, and that's with a fair number of texture packs.

OMG... Battlefield 4 is here... maybe i will delay upgrading my GPU... by that time the series 7 of nvidia have arrived and be cheaper...

 

[hentaiboi_]

now i am planning to buy GTX 770... is it time now to upgrade? or should i wait for the red team's response?

 

[bigshootr8]

Truly hard to say. Right now I look at the performance of each card and I feel the GTX770 is really the answer to the 7970 and possibly the Ghz edition because of the price point that its at. I'm not sure how much faster the next line of AMD cards will be because it will be a refresh and not a new architecture push. Sure the top end will see improvements however the mid-line probably increasingly less. Is it time to upgrade I don't know quite yet if you are still getting decent performance with your card I would say wait however if you aren't and would like higher settings then perhaps.

between the 770 and 7970 ghz they trade blows depending on game, and trade pricing blows depending on manufacturer. Probably a good time to upgrade to either one with such close competition driving prices down. If you plan on any sort of multi-gpu upgrade later on, i would go with nvidia without a second thought at the moment.

Don't you think though in the end that if you were going towards a second card by the time you needed one there would probably be something better out there that would make it not worth your time. Granted you weren't going for a multi monitor setup at a higher resolution and needed the horsepower of two cards.
