AndroidFox Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 How much money are you looking to spend on one? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tomato Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 Yea kinda hard to give advice when you didn't give a budget, however your current graphics card was my last graphics card and upgraded it to a Radeon 7870, but if you wan to stick with NVIDIA card I would suggest the GTX 660. Both of them are around £180-200. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AndroidFox Posted July 5, 2013 Share Posted July 5, 2013 If you want to stick with Nvidia do what DatLoli said and get a GTX 660 TI, or if you don't mind AMD a Radeon HD 7950. I am actually looking to buy one of those cards myself and I got some advice in my own thread a while back. https://psnprofiles.com/forums/topic/6991-choosing-a-graphics-card-help/#entry133627 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That one will blow your minds away. It is really so good. A few months will surely see a price drop with the 700 series stealing the show. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I was looking at the wrong one. http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AB7LSEO/ref=s9_simh_gw_p147_d0_i1?pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=115RWAH3XKZ86ZR89MQK&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=358549767&pf_rd_i=468294 This is the card your on about right? If so I'll be buying it considering its £100 less than the one I was looking at haha. Also, I read somewhere you need to check how much PSU you have? I opened my case and it says I have 950w, is that enough? Sorry I know nothing about that insides of a PC ><. Edit: Sorry that's also the wrong one lol This is the correct one http://www.amazon.co.uk/EVGA-NVIDIA-Signature-Edition-Graphics/dp/B009GB17SI/ref=sr_1_3?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1373226721&sr=1-3&keywords=EVGA+GeForce+GTX+670 Even though its not the one you listed, is the card I linked any good? Or should I wait to get the EVGA NVIDIA GTX 670 FTW Signature Edition? Edited July 7, 2013 by ARKphoenix Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or should I wait to get the EVGA NVIDIA GTX 670 FTW Signature Edition? The "corrrect" one you linked to amzon with model number 02G-P4-3677-KR with name Signature Edition iss actually Signature Edition 2.... it must have been a typo on amzons part. The US link is named correctly http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-Signature2-Graphics-02G-P4-3677-KR/dp/B009T3LM1K/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1373233448&sr=8-3&keywords=evga+gtx+670+ftw but yeh as long as its model number 02G-P4-3677-KR its the one. Edit: also its here http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130843 dont know if you qualify for rebates in UK though... but its cheaper than amzon a little and you get a free game.... Oh and yes your PSU is more than enough.... Edited July 7, 2013 by ErgoProxy-Decay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venocide Posted July 8, 2013 Author Share Posted July 8, 2013 My old man said he'd go half with me on the new card, woop So I'm gonna buy it today but I have one more question. It says the bus type is PCI Express 3.0 x16... how do I find out if its compatible with my motherboard? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It says the bus type is PCI Express 3.0 x16... how do I find out if its compatible with my motherboard? Well.... your motherboard probably is not a 3.0 bus its a 2.0 bus... but 3.0 works on 2.0. and itll run just fine. You probably wont even notice a difference with our eyes... about 1-2fps difference. But if you ever go Sli with 3.0 cards on 2.0 mobo youll see the difference in fps much more. But then single cards are already so powerful these days, its no point to really go 2 3 or 4 gpus... unless your running some crazy 3d res gaming. If you ever are rdy to upgrade your mobo though, your card is next-gen safe. Edited July 8, 2013 by ErgoProxy-Decay Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 There is currently a sale at Newegg on the Asus 660GTX for 168.99$ after rebate with promotion code EMCXNXL23. For that price it's pretty amzing http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121660&nm_mc=EMC-IGNEFL070913&cm_mmc=EMC-IGNEFL070913-_-EMC-070913-Index-_-DesktopGraphicsVideoCards-_-14121660-L0B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndroidFox Posted July 9, 2013 Share Posted July 9, 2013 Unfortunately we don't have Newegg over here in the UK, you Americans have is so lucky when it comes to PC parts. Best price for the 660 I could find was £170, which is pointless when you could get a TI for £190. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
