gpu upgrade

[tman1470]

Hi all

I have a gtx670 dcu11 top card and was wondering is it
worth the money buying another to go sli or upgrade to
an entirley new card

I'm considering a similar kind of thing...

What resolution are you running / how many screens?

Well first of all if you want to upgrade and already own a GTX 670 then I would suggest that you just buy another one.

Then same question as jamesriley94: what resolution and on how many screens?

1920x1080 just 1 screen an asus vg278h

Just get another 670 if you're trying to get closer to 120fps on that monitor.

Thanks andy

However...
I think the DCII TOP card has been discontinued due to overheating problems with it, so you may struggle to get hold of another?

I really wouldn't bother upgrading tbh. You aren't really going to notice a massive difference - certainly not a difference worth £350ish anyway.

I'd probably wait for the next generations to come out - I know they're most likely just going to be rebrands, but still worth a look. Also, the 670s should come down in price then if you still want to upgrade.

It isn't like you're at a disadvantage gaming at 70 odd FPS that you'll currently be getting on most games

If you game at 1080P I see no reason to selling/upgrading your GTX 670.
If you do, at least wait for the next series to be released...

However, if you're running a multi-monitor or 1440p then I would say GO AHEAD!

I wouldn't upgrade that, no need. Maybe invest some money in extra cooling for the case and do a bit of overclocking, although I'm sure that card plays any game without breaking a sweat at stock frequencies. Best to save some money for the next generation of GPUs, when they actually release a new architecture. I've read that the 8xxx series from AMD and 7xx series from nVidia will be made mostly out of rebadged current series chips.
