G'day all,
I'm considering upgrading the old beast to get sexier graphics in games.
I can grab a 2GB GTX670 for $209AUD (for comparison, a 2GB GTX960 is $280-300AUD, a 4GB GTX960 is $330+). The GTX670 is just old stock (hopefully the store hasn't sold it yet!).
Do you think that would be a worthwhile upgrade? I might also upgrade my CPU down the track, but not immediately, probably not in the next few months.
I'm worried 2GB won't be enough, but then I can't really justify $330 for a 4GB GTX960. I could also get a 3GB R9-280 for $235, but recently I've been avoiding ATI (I have owned a few over the years and they always have given me more inconsistent performance, more driver issues, more basic desktop issues, etc. and nvidia always seem to have more "toys").
My current system:
i5 750
GA-P55A-UD3
MSi GTX460 768MB
32GB G.Skill Ares RAM
600W Cooler Master SILENT Pro
an assortment of SSD's and HDD's
24" 1920x1080 TN monitor
So, worth it? Or just forget about it for now?
