Upgrading from a 560ti, 660ti PE or 670 PE?

Both are good card, and they're priced pretty accurately according to performance. If you can stretch to the cost of a 670, then go for it. If not, the 660 Ti is still a good card.

The lower memory bandwidth on the 660 Ti isn't really an issue at 1080p, so don't worry about that.

 

I'm torn now but hey what CPU would not bottleneck? I was thinking a 8core AMD since Intel is outta my price range. I love the support for Radeon though been always curious about their cards but I love PHYSX in games and play alot of them and play alot of Nvidia games.

 

This is the 7950 I was looking at Sapphire 3GB

I think you'll be most happy with the 670PE that you're really wanting to get.

 

You can overclock the 660TI pretty well . have it running at 1075MHZ (overclock to 1222MHZ) and 1750MHZ memory so it certainly isn't a bad card.

My performance is just under a 670 in benchmarks.

Question you have to ask yourself is do i want to fork over 100 quid extra for a 670.
if you don't mind the price of the 670 get it.

 

But isn't there a difference between the 256 bit and the 192?, i also heard the 700 series is coming out next month do i wait since ive also read that the 600 series was not all that great anyways?.

 

Yes, I suggest you wait it out. That 560Ti will endure a bit more.

 

Yeah but still limited in games can't run hd textured modded skyrim even without aa maybe be the mods that make it kinda studder heavily and not progress in frames for like 10 secs but i think the card was great but so want to play the games the way they should be played

 

Unfortunately to run games as they should be played, you will be forced to buy an entirely new PC, not just a GPU.

 

Your best upgrade is definitely a new mobo/cpu. Your graphics card will hold a bit longer until the next gen.

 

Well I'm planning to get a new mobo and cpu anyway any suggestions that r not Intel?

 

Does ARM make desk top parts yet? J/K

Why the distaste for intel? You can get a good IB setup like a 3570k and an asrock extreme4 Z77 board for about the same price as a good 990fx board and a 8320BE.

 

If you want to go AMD, go ahead. Know however that it sucks.

 

Spoken like a true fanboy.

 

I'am actually looking at getting the i7 3820 Sandybridge, with the ASrock Xtreme6 X79 board. Question I have a Zalman 9500 Heatsink Cooler on my AMD 955 can I use it on the LGA 2011 Board or do I have to get a new heatsink as well because this Processor doesn't even come with a heatsink/fan

 

Unlikely considering the 9500 is around 5 yrs old.

You'll want to invest in a better cooler anyway if you plan to overclock.

 

But I can use it right? I might have a 9700 after all hmmm

 

Only if it's compatible with socket 1155.

 

socket 2011

 

Yeah Socket 2011.
