bp9801 Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 This is also a worthwhile suggestion, by the time the memory limits you, likely the GPU itself would. It's more balanced I like how you're so hung up on the memory being a limiting factor when the only game I have that even maxes out the VRAM on my card is a modded Skyrim. Nothing else goes over 1GB really. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
VaporX Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 I like how you're so hung up on the memory being a limiting factor when the only game I have that even maxes out the VRAM on my card is a modded Skyrim. Nothing else goes over 1GB really. I have to agree, in all my testing at 1080 the memory was never a limited factor. In fact even Skyrim does not seem all that limited with a ton of high detail mods installed. In fact installing the mods has not hurt my performance at all over a stock install. The larger memory sizes and larger memory bandwidth might come into play at higher resolutions but at 1080 there is zero gaming experience hit.

Fogel Posted August 17, 2012 Posted August 17, 2012 GTX 670 / 660ti In this price bracket, Nvidia wins. AMD has it cornered $300 and below. Not a fan of EVGA's crappy coolers though, I would go with the Gigabyte. Same price, better cooler, higher stock OC. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

InCrYsIs Posted September 12, 2012 Posted September 12, 2012 (edited) I just installed my EVGA 670 FTW. It is a sick card. Quiet and cool and performance is great for 399.00. Beats 680 in many benchmarks. Here is my Heaven results. Edited September 12, 2012 by InCrYsIs Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
