graphics card upgrade

[optrists]

current considering going back to single gpu instead of sli im using a 26 inch IPS monitor and my system specs are in my sig

I don't have 680 or higher money so was thinking either a 660ti, a 670 or the ATI alternatives any recommendations but I don't want the card bottlenecked by my CPU and im not looking to upgrade my CPU anytime soon

7950 with a decent cooler gets my vote mate

what resolution you using that 26" bad boy on?

but you ocould look at say Tahiti LE 7870 too goes like stink, plus 4 free games, which you could resell on? @ £169.99 right now.

awesome sauce considering a 660ti will set you back at least £215 and a 670 £285+ when some of these 7870 LE's are clocking in way above their price range.

i would of said that myself tho i dont think his screen is 1920/1080 an a tahiti 7870 wont cut it at a higher res

 

[chrismjurd]

yeah i knows, but you really think the 660ti would fair much better @1440?

No mate thats why I advised a 7950 windforce by gigabyte

ya for sure, good call, just a shame that dabs offer ran out earlier today was £199, was hovering over the buy button for ages. bloody misses and her new sofa..

I'd go for a 670 or a 7950 (my preference is the green camp, but both are good). Naturally the higher spec you buy, the better the performance, other than that it's personal preference.

7950 gets my approval: with a good cooler it can OC farther than a 670. 670 ain't a bad option just at the higher res you're gonna want the highest minimums possible and the 7950 will be the best for that.
