Video Card Suggestion?

[wombinator04]

I would go with a 7850 or a 7870. I would personally go with a 7870. It's a little bit more than 560 ti but is a lot better.

Either that or wait for the 660 (or whatever it's going to be).

Heard the 7850 and down in the 7 series has issues with screen tearing. Just for that I'd prob just get the 7870 XD.

I has a 680.

Question: Are you running a single 680 and have you done that PCI 3 enabling thing you linked me? From what I read there isn't a noticeable increase unless ur running at least 2 cards.

I'm actually getting a second 560ti at some point in the next month to run in SLI. I mock your 680.

(I haven't figured out why I am yet though, since every game I own runs at 60FPS anyways and I couldn't care less about the difference between 4x and 8x anti-aliasing..)

It won't.
A single 680 isn't bottlenecked by PCI-E 2.0 16x. But once you go dual and drop to PCI-E 2.0 8x, it does bottleneck.
On PCI-E 3.0 multiple cards are fine.

Personally I run a board that can do multiple PCI-E 2.0 16x lanes.

You should speak to Glytch, he wants to get rid of one.

I'd rather a second MSI.

[wombinator04]

Anyone want to trade a 680 or 670 for a 7970?

PLEASE I'M SO DESPERATE!

Why not get a good brand?

Ahhhh ok. No wonder I didn't read anything about it then.
