Upgrade from 560ti?
I currently have a EVGA gtx 560ti, and I have found that crysis 3(beta) is giving it a hard time. I know it is beta and all but I still want to plan for the next step. I think all my other parts are ready for an upgrade: i5 3570k, ASUS P8Z77-V LK LGA 1155, 8gb of good RAM, etc.
I just know that soon my 560ti won't cut it, and I need a new one that will run everything pretty damn well. I was thinking this:

I do prefer Nvidia, but I'm open to anything.

2 RepliesGet the one you just linked, it's a great card. Protip:I have that one and it works fine. Works 45*C under load, but I don't OC.

I have the MSI Twin Frozr GTX 680 model and for the price difference you're looking at another $100 for not tooooo much of an increase in performance. I'm in the process of saving for another and working to overclock my CPU.

Would recommend it to anyone thinking of upgrading. Just make sure your rig is wide enough - I had a full tower but it may be too tight to get this into a mid-tower case - someone here may be able to confirm that though.

get a gpu cooler, overclock gfx card, profit. no point upgrading, also. crysis 2 had fake benchmarking to help market out graphics cards. all the water in the level and underneath the level was being rendered in real time, remove the water, you get like 30-40fps boost.

1 ReplyYou could run a 2gb HD 7770, which is just above the 560 ti's performance range. They're also about 50 bucks less now and crossfire (SLI) capable, so you could pick one up later on and do that. The only thing is that they run a bit hotter.

I just came in to recommend that exact card. You're way ahead of me. =P I have one. It's a beast :)
