    Which Card would you chose!

    Okay guys I have the option of selling my 560 ti 2gig MSI card http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...%20ti%202%20gb for 175$ and was wondering if I should pick up
    660 ti http://www.bestbuy.com/site/NVIDIA+-...20ti&cp=1&lp=1
    the 660ti is 300$. Is it worth the extra 125$?

    is it worth it? only you can really say. what are you expecting out of it that your 560ti cant do? what do you play? at what resolution?

    card vs card though a 660ti will net a solid 25% increase in non-mmo's, so for me i would say yes its worth it. if you only play wow, then you wont see an improvement.

    Well I am currently Playing Guild wars 2 and Diablo 3, I would like to run 2 monitors and see what 1080 is really like, right now I am running my T.V and am only getting 720p, So I want to run also two games at once as well. For me thinking the 175$ lasting a lot longer than the 560ti in terms of new technology and everything.

    Heres some performance benchmarks with the 2 cards in question http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/547?vs=647 . There should be a noticeable difference in most games but MMOs tend to be more CPU dependent so it will really vary how much performance gain you get out of upgrading for the sole purpose of MMO gaming.

    on your 720p TV you wont notice a difference at all, your 560ti is falling asleep pretty much. With 2 1080p monitors, it would be a nice upgrade.
