So confused. 660 Ti or 670?

[red_jelly]

Hey guys,
I'm currently going to be buying a new graphics card and i was going to get the 670 but now i have seen that the 660 is out, and it seems to be very closes to the 670. i dont know what to buy. Help!!

What resolution are you gaming at?

 

[Tomtom565]

^ The above question, and the other is, how much are you willing to spend? If you don't want to spend that much, then get the 660, and overclock if you really need the extra juice (But you really don't), they both perform similarly, but some could say the 570 would last just a bit longer... Then again, the price difference isn't that great.

1080p over two screens. i'll mainly be editing and playing the occasional game. I have enough for a 670 but they are both very similar

 

[jamesriley94]

As in 2 1080p screens? You cant really play on 2 screens, but I'd go for the 670 anyway

 

[red_jelly]

yes two. Yeah if i was to play a game i would play on one monitor. So the 670 is still the better option?

 

[jamesriley94]

It's a better card - so if you have the money then I would.

 

[yassarikhan786]

Yeah go for the 670 dude

 

[seumasbeathan]

Yeah another for the 670

 

[AverageNinja]

Go for the GTX 670 over the GTX 660Ti.
It will just outperform the 660Ti

 

[litchu]

how much % will the 670 averagly perform better then the 660 ti?
here in holland the 660 ti is 100 euro cheaper then the 670..

 

[seumasbeathan]

How come the 660ti is quite a lot cheaper in other countries but yet in the uk it is only like £35 cheaper

 

[ruairi.C]

yea, well It's about £50 or so cheaper but still, not big numbers like you see in other countries. I have the same decision to make and I wanted to get the MSI power edition which is £80 cheaper from 670 to 660. I still think I'll get the 660 Ti unless someone can give me good reason not to. I'm not sure extra memory bandwith is something that is worth £80

Yeah when I read Tom's review I was confused, in the U.S. the 680 is $500, the 670 is $400, and the 660 Ti is $300.

 

[elflegolas]

well i think you dont have to be confused
since both card's price range is quite different
yes you gain performance like 10-20%on the 670
but you also pay about 20% more money for that card
so there's no confusion, you got the money,go for 670
you dont have it, get the 660ti
no big deal

 

[Liarma]

670 I say. I just got one last week and it's a solid performer!

 

[Master&Puppet]

I'd get the 670. If you are budgeting though I'd get a 7950 over a 660ti.

 

[Kyle]

I'm also facing this problem. Is it worth the extra money over the 660 Ti?

If you read the post you'd see we've all recommended the 670. That isnt likely to change now...

ye i want to go with the recommendations, although i don't have any money for it so i'm wondering if i should wait to get more money or just buy the 660 ti now
