GTS 450

[Tomtom565]

Hiya,

Just been looking over my next build list...... and was wondering whether to get another 450, or upgrade to a 570 or somthing like that, not a big fan of the red side of the sea........ (if you know what i mean

) , and just wanted to know your opinions.......

if you wanted to know my build list is as follows....

I7-2600K,Gigabyte GA-Z68XP-UD4,Kingston HyperX Grey Dual Channel Kit 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600mhz x2,Bitfenix Shinobi with window

,OCZ Technology 60GB Vertex 3 SSD,1TB Seagate Barracuda x 2 ,Corsair HX 850W,Be Quiet Dark Rock PRO

cheers in advance...

Would upgrade it. For the prize of one 570, you could get x2 560 or x2 560Ti(maybe a bit more expensive, depending on your prizes). Check out benchamrks for 560/560Ti sli, and you will see they beat alot more expencive cards.

mmmmmmm.........looking at it, it does look like and alternative ( a bloody good one at that!), anything is better than my system mind........ what does everybody else think? Or what about the 550's?

I agree with Azurite. An upgrade is your best bet

Get a single card honestly

Get a single card honestly

I agree, can't be done with the extra heat, cost, cost of running, noise and micro-stuttering.

If you do decide to buy another GTS 450 i have one on the for sale section

 

[Tomtom565]

mmmmm.......i thought they fixed the micro stuttering???, seems like a hard desicion, what single card would you recomend? think i might just hold out and see how much money have left over....and my job doesnt exactly create amazing income.....

, and terrifictez, how much are you selling that 450, could just use it as a dedicated physx card....

echoing what other i are saying i would say upgrade, another 450 migh be cheaper but your not gonna get the "graphical mileage" you would from say a 570 (which i know is more but will give you more from it in long term)

I would say look at a 570 they are cracking card and they are the graphical sweetspot for gaming. A 560Ti is still a very good card if funds are tight (they oveclock like crazy). lollipop has a 560Ti and he seems ok running BF3

Opinion = single card.

.... although part of me is wanting you to get a 450, clock the crap out of it/them, and post results

Mmmmmm, going for one powerful card seems like a good choice, might go for a single 570.......... as thats what you guys are sudgesting....... although, just out of interest, how bad is the micro stuttering? i think if i did go for a 570 it would be this one...... opinions? http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1280...-4000mhz-gddr5-gpu-770mhz-shader-1540mhz-plus

Micro stuttering isnt much of a problem nowadays. Was back in the quad sli GTX 295 era.

If you're looking at a 850W PSU, I think it would be great to go for a GTX 580. Something like the Gigabyte SOC GTX 580 would be a great upgrade, but the regular GTX 580 is also very nice.
