• Looking for graphics card recommendations
    10 replies, posted
I've had 2 GTX 250s for about a year or so now, and I think it's time for an upgrade. I'm not 100% on my budget, I'm mostly just looking for recommended nVIDIA cards that work well for the money. Although, my other option is I can get two GTX 285s that will setup pretty much the same. I'm not the most computer savvy so if I screwed anything up or if you need specs let me know.
It's better to go with one good GPU than to go SLI with two not very good GPU's, but I need a ballpark budget. Even $100-$200, $200-$300 or something.

Then a GTX 770 is your best option since you want to stay with Nvidia.
I recommend getting two R9 280x's as well. You will be wasting over $100, and it will actually preform worse.

So I would really recommend just getting a 280X
How big is the increase between the 670 and 770? I think i'll just stick with Nvidia.

The 670 is amazingly overpriced. It's actually more expensive on average than the 770, don't even consider considering it.
Well, I think I'll go with a 770 then. Thanks for the advice and help guys.
