    Video Card question

    I'm looking to order a good video card for around $150. I was originally going to get a GRx 660 but would rather use the extra cash on something else, so long as I can find a good video card.
    Wanting to run WoW, BO2, BF3, all on ultra setting (at least wow) and hoping for some FPS in the 40-50+ in 25m.
    Using a i5-3570k btw.
    Right now I'm looking at the evga GTX 650.

    I don't believe 650 can run BF3 at Ultra. It should only achieve a miserable 40 FPS(average) at High Preset settings at 1920x1080

    The 660 can run High Preset at acceptable FPS(at least by a lot of gamer's standards) of 58. Ultra would be around 50 FPS which is "meh", I would keep at High preset.

    That review is a 660 Ti, the non-Ti would perform about 10-15% less in BF3 ultra.

    Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Windforce 3X @ 1372/7604MHz | Corsair Force GT 120GB | Silverstone Fortress FT02 | Corsair VX450

    More the reason then not to get it if OP wants to run BF3 on Ultra. But for WoW, the 650 TI is enough
