Gtx 760 or 660?

[atomasx]

I'm planning to upgrade my pc video card but i dont know what to choose.

Atm i have (what my box says)

LGA1155 MB (b75m-d3v)
intel core i5-3470
4gb ram ddr3 1600 mhz
500gb hdd sata3
Atx-3340 350W.
Gt 240.

i'm planning to upgrade my video card to be able to play on nvidia surround ( 3 monitors setup) and after research i'm just stuck. dont know which card to choose.
At first i was planning to get gtx650. but later i saw that adding about 50 bucks will like give me about a x3 more performance if i buy 660gtx. And then again i saw a deal about gtx760. But after reading some Topics found out that gtx 760 2gb is too low for nvidia surround if you are playing modern games likes most wanted, crysis, metro and etc. So i saw people saying that 4gb is the right choose but on the other side gtx 760 isnt fast enough to utilize the 4gb vram.

So i want to know what to do? I dont want to get a 770 or 670 because for me its like an unfinished card, and 680/780 is too pricy. Maybe 580 will be a good choice?

Also looking forward for any recommendation about what psu i should get.
Sorry for english.

you'll ant 4Gb cards for 5760 x 1080

Id recommend 770s

Start looking at the benchies here and decide what card you need

you should get the 760 over the 660. 760 is faster, more ram, requires less power, and cooler. Based on your setup you can go with 550W or 650W for more leg space. go either XFX, Corsair, Seasonic for their durability~

but after reading what resolution you will be playing at get the 770. Honestly if your trying to play Nvidia surround and want stable fps at high settings you probably need 2

Almost anything can run surround. im using a Geforce 210 1 GB and im running dual monitors and still able to get great graphics.

But i'd say just go for that 670, my friend has one of those in his computer and he runs Crysis 3 on high settings with 80+ frames per second.

the GTX 770 is overclocked gtx 680 but cheaper and with different name

The point is after 3 years i will be leaving this pc for my parents, and i also dont care about graphics settings while its medium and can do 30 fps. My target is nvidia surround, medium or higher settings and 30 fps or higher.

 

[muayyad AJ]

then the GTX 770

 

[sparkz89]

770 GTX if you want to play on it around that fps for 3 years

 

[atomasx]

well 770 is out the budget.

 

[muayyad AJ]

gtx 760

 

[atomasx]

and what version to get 2gb or 4gb?

 

[sparkz89]

4gb you can also look @ 7970

GTX 770 is not an "unfinished card," it is a fully-enabled GK104 chip, just like the 680 - except clocked much higher. The GTX 670, 660Ti, and 760 are all partially disabled GK104 chips.

For your purposes, you want a GTX 770 4GB.
