GTX 670

Get a GTX 680 if your budget is $500. It's not much better than a GTX 670, but it'll get you slightly better FPS. One of these two is what I'd get:

GTX 680: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125422[/url]

The GTX 680 is a little over your budget, but it's ultimately up to you if you want the slight FPS difference. Also, get the Gigabyte GTX 670/GTX 680. They have better cooling than the other cards. I also believe they're factory overclocked as well.

No problem. May I ask what you've decided on?

Get the 670, $100 less and when overclocked is better than the 680

I dunno. I'd get the 680, honestly. I'm not much of a money nazi, though. So I guess if he wants to save some money and lose a slight performance increase, it's his choice.

Not saying that the 680 is a lot better than a 670 - just saying by a slight amount.

Not everyone has lots of money. The 670 is plenty good enough, and as Walrus said, the 670 can be overclocked to 680 Levels easily.

Never said he did. I said if he wants a little better performance, he should go with the 680. It's like $15 over his budget. Sure, you can overclock the 670, but you can also overclock the 680 which would surpass the overclocked 670. Personally, I prefer sticking with stock settings, so I have a good reason to stick with the 680. Maybe he's the same way? I don't know. He never gave that information.

I did pick the 670 deaded listed: [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125423[/url]

for my purposes it's the best price/performance and I would rather spend less right now. i read up a lot of benchmarks on both and the 680 was so marginally better than the 670 that it's nowhere near worth the money. I always oc my cpus and gpus and have great cooling so the 670 more than suits my needs :~)

Glad you picked the Gigabyte 670. From what I've read, it's overclocked and has better temps than the stock 670s. Good choice if you're not a performance nazi like I am lol.
