Looking to upgrade to NVidia 670 possibly

[Pandarr]

I'm contemplating upgrading to a single NVidia 670 4GB.

Right now I am looking at the following card.

EVGA GeForce GTX670 FTW+ 4096MB GDDR5 256bit DVI HDMI DisplayPort 4-Way SLI Ready Graphics Card 04G-P4-3673-KR

Aside from owning pretty much every game worth owning on Steam (and then some), I also do 3D rendering as a hobby. I own various rendering products (like Octane Render) which utilize the graphics card for rendering.

For gaming I really only have interest in using the single BenQ monitor. No surround vision. I've tried it and it's not that interesting to me. I would like the card to support 3 monitors as my current card does not (which is why I own two of them). It's my understanding the 670 can support 4 monitors.

Would I be better off with another card/brand? I'd prefer to stick with NVidia. I'm including my current system specs below as I'd rather not get a card my computer can't send enough data to or even install also. The system will overclock stable to 4.5ghz, I just haven't had need for it so don't. The power supply is 750W.

I won't go over $500 but would prefer to keep it closer to $400. I do like Physx quite a bit but if there's a drastic difference between an AMD and NVidia card at similar price points, I could be swayed I suppose. It has to run at least 3 monitors for normal desktop stuff though.

AMD really is the better choice at this price point. You can run 3 monitors on it if one support display port.

I have no preference for evga. It was simply a card I linked to as it was one of the few on Amazon that was a 4GB 670.

The extra 2GB isn't worth the premium unfortunately.
