Max Graphics question In my new build I have about $1200 to spend on gfx cards and here are the choices I'm trying to decide between, keep in mind I do not care too much about performance per dollar I just want max performance for what's in my $1200 budget. 2x 680's 3x 670's 3x 660ti's As of right now I am using only 1080p but my next upgrade may be a 2560x1440 monitor. Thanks in advance for opinions, and any insight as to why one option would give better performance. |
None of the above, either a single 690, or a pair of 670's. |
Pair of 670 and use the rest of the money towards another upgrade. |
Single 680 / 7970 should be fine for a single 2560x1440 monitor.. but if you want better than fine the as Adzsask said, 690 / Dual 670's would be my choice.. Really depends on if you want to go multi-monitor with the 27" or use it on it's own.. try to think ahead.. but not too far as if your staying single monitor for the next year then a new generation of cards will be out by the time you will need to upgrade for your monitors. |
I prob wont get to upgrade my vid cards again after this for about 2-3 years, so I just need to make sure whatever I go with will keep stuff running that far in advance. |
IMO, single 690 or dual 670's / 680's will be plenty enough.. Any more would be a waste of money as s tri sli doesn't scale that well and you'd be better saving the money now to upgrade a bit sooner.. |

For that kind of money I'd go 690 or a pair of 670's. Then again unless I was making a living doing graphics design or video editing I'd never think of spending that much money on video. |
GFX I am using a single water cooled GTX 680 Superclocked+ with three 23" LCDs running @ 6048x1080, and a 52" LCD TV @ 1920x1080. You can't go wrong with the dual 670's or a 690 but whatever cards you grab don't overlook putting a little money into cooling them well! Doesn't have to be water, even choosing a good case where you can get air on 'em. |
I already have all the stuff for my watercooling except blocks ofc b/c still undecided on cards. |
