You can over clock it and it will get results above 7950 and close to 670gtx,</p> <p><a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-Radeon-7870-Graphics-Card/dp/B00AM3A7JY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_2" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.co.uk/VTX3D-Radeon-7870-Graphics-Card/dp/B00AM3A7JY/ref=pd_sim_sbs_computers_2</a> </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42450 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:33:57 +0000 Phoenixblight 42450@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Shouldn't double your GPU especially since it only gives you a 10% increase in exchange for doubling your power consumption and heat and most games don't work properly for 2 GPUs. Just not worth it.</p> <p>@Eddie my 660ti can do that as well. For the price of 2 560 you can get a 660 ti and have some dough left over. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42447 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:30:49 +0000 Eddie Rodrigues 42447@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Instead of getting one graphics, try grabbing two 1GB or even 2GB powerful Cards.

Nvidia don't seem to feature in the mid-range at all. You have to go up to a £300 670ti before Nvidia are best value for money. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42443 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:08:04 +0000 Edo 42443@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p><a href="http://www.hwcompare.com/13168/geforce-gtx-460-1gb-vs-geforce-gtx-660-ti/" rel="nofollow">http://www.hwcompare.com/13168/geforce-gtx-460-1gb-vs-geforce-gtx-660-ti/</a> make sure your PSU is up to the task. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42442 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 18:07:39 +0000 Lounds 42442@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Nvidia take the piss releasing cards, but I had an ATI 4850 before and the drivers were bad. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42441 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:42:18 +0000 Talkar 42441@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I'm also in the state where i wawnt to upgrade my graphics card.

Crysis 2 chokes a bit on Ultra settings, but everything else plays great. If that might bother you, spend the little extra and get a gtx670. </p> <p>I want to jump up to a 680 soon </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42435 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:16:33 +0000 Phoenixblight 42435@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Well I had the same exact card and I updated to the same model so I would say the 660 ti obviously. I can play all games at 1080P and can run them at optimal speeds (about 50 FPS) for games like Farcry 3. Well worth the amount you pay for it. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42434 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:15:45 +0000 OlderGamer 42434@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>I can't answer that question like others can. But I did just buy a video card for my PC. the one thing that I was blown away with was the power suplly requirments of the various cards. I have a low power house. And we often have a TV/cable and two PCs going at same time. I literaly had to filter thru pages of cards to get one that fit my needs. </p> http://www.vg247.com/forum/topic.php?id=8041#post-42433 Wed, 23 Jan 2013 17:10:02 +0000 Lounds 42433@http://www.vg247.com/forum/ <p>Hi I'm looking at buying a new graphics card for my pc.</p> <p>Current spec:<br /> I7 950 @3.4ghz<br /> 12gb of ram<br /> 120gb ssd<br /> 460gtx</p> <p>I want to be able to max games at 1080p, I've been looking at Amd 7870, 7950 and GeForce 660ti<br /> Which is best value for performance? </p>
