GTX 660ti vs GTX 670

[smiley22432]

I definitely have to say NO TO A GTX670 for you unless you can snag a used reference model (if you don't mind the noise) for around $300

I run 3 1080p monitors for a res of 5760x1080 with my direct cu ii Top gtx 670 and I can still max Skyrim on ultra with all of the high res mods added without a hiccup.

by this logic GTX 670s should be completely out of the question unless you are considering upgrading your monitor to 1080p or even 1920x1200.

I'd recommend a 2gb card that is a 560ti or gtx570. On the AMD side a 6870 is a little to slow to max. a 6950 or 7870 would do the job. You should be able to max BF3 with that.

Really though you should wait for nvidia's option that is one step below the 660ti.

Excellent! I was just checking out some reviews on Guru3d and I kept seeing the Gigabyte Windforce just little bit ahead of the other 660's in the review.

Crysis warhead is 4 year old game.

Metro at 60 fps was tested with medium settings (high is medium in that game).
Here's a realistic benchmark:
http://tpucdn.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti_448_Cores/images/metro_2033_1680_1050.gif

It will not max out Battlefield 3 or Witcher 2 either.

GTX 660 Ti has almost double performance of GTX 560 Ti 448 and costs only a bit more. It will max out all games and why shouldn't be buy it? It will last him much longer as well.

it depends wich 560ti you have.
ive got an asus 560ti 11 top and my cpu is an i5 2500k i have 8gb ddr3 and i can run far cry 3,battlefield
3 and metro 2033 maxed out.

but i have just orderd an asus 660ti because of the newer architecture and alot more cuda cores.
i was going to get a 670 but when i did the comparison the 660ti is not much differnt to the 670 and less money.

Well you lose ROPS and you lose CUDA cores really with the 660Ti however that being said I don't really see the harm in going with a card that is beyond the use at the resolution he is running at because there is nothing stopping him in the future in going for a 1080p monitor. Hope you enjoy your card man

Check out the benchmarks here. They have both SLI and single card numbers.

With the 660 ti you can smoothly play Crysis 3 maxed out @1080p with 4x smaa.
Metro 2033 is now obsolete as the metro last light has arrived and it has changed everything.Maxing the settings at 1080p as well as enabling 2xSSAA will still fetch you more than 40 fps on the average.
