GTX570 to GTX670 or stay?

[Eagle101]

Hey fellas,

Been wondering if i should make a move to the 670 or stay with my 570 for while longer. Been reading up on the 670 and there is some difference, so what do you techies think?

[signa]

I have a 570 and it works fine for me. I don't think I'll be upgrading until something big is released that needs it such as BF4.

[Eagle101]

yeah i was thinking like that as well, thanks man, think i will follow suit.

I dont usually jump to the latest series either. Im a gamer and am part of the 1%, but Im in the 1% because I dont race out and buy the latest thing every time.

I might get a 500 series later on as well

Of course then I find this and think, thats not so bad

I doubt BF4 will that big a leap in graphics compared to BF3. But AMRA 3 might be a different story.

quite true crunch, i am not saying i want i do buy the latest thing every time, i cant even afford it atm, but i just wanted to know what you guys think, the guy over at my local store (who built the rig fr me) said that the 570 is good for another couple years.

So i have been forum surfing about the 670 anf got interested a bit, anyways i will hang back for a while, seeing as i dont play MilSims (ArmA) so i will wait.

I know what you mean. I have a GTX 470 and I keep eying those 570s and 650s

Damn, I have a GT 130M and I also keep eying every single card I see xD

One thing that I noticed now in card reviews is how every review of a model that is not a newer release gets dogged on.

I was reading reviews about that 650 Ti and all the older reviews where the 660 and 670 were out all they did was bash it because it wasnt as fast as those.

The problem with that is that were not stupid. We know a 650 is less than 660 and 670. So why bash the card for being slower? Its an older card. Compare it to like cards and below and if it sucks worse than like cards and below then bash it.

[stilla-killa]

I am happy with my 560 Ti that I have now. It will probably be a couple of years before I upgrade.

[Eagle101]

I see your point Stilla Killa and Crunch, i will wait i guess there is no real need for a change atm, man but you gotta love PC gaming, i mean all this tech stuff really revs me up, you guys should read the articles posted in PC Gamer UK (online) on the PS4 vs PC, its awesome

Also many thanks for replying guys and reassuring, your input is valued

And Jimy i feel your pain, if Ebuyer delivers to Portugal then keep an eye on them, great prices for cards in Europe, otherwise Newegg is great in price as well, and if they deliver EU then FFFUUUUUUUUU :P

Yeah, I'm really considering in building a new desktop this year. Though it's preferable for me to do it after PS4's release, where most components will have their prices lowered and I can make sure I'm buying something much better. Am I right?

[Eagle101]

I dont know lol but yeah waiting is good as tech prices lower in order for new tech to come out and push the old tech out? but old tech is not old urgh i am rambling, i just came back home from my hotel shift.

[jimykx]

I'm just assuming the hardware in the consoles( which should be cheap) will make other similar hardware for pc drop price

Well, I decided to get a new video card.

This is what I have:
