So I'm looking for an NVidia card [personal decision, sorry AMD boys] for modern gaming, specifically BF3. I game at 1920x1080 and plan to have an ivy-bridge i5.
Other factors being equal, should I spring for the current-gen GTX660 or the last-gen GTX580? Noise and power consumption are important factors to me, but not deal-breakers. I am open to buying used.
The benches I've seen put the two cards somewhat at the same level of performance in BF3 @ 1920x1200 in both MSAA and FXAA situations.
Since the 660 uses less power, should be a clear choice for the 660 right? Or am I missing something here?
