GeForce GTX 680 or GeForce GTX 670?

[iAlbertcas]

I just finished building my second custom computer my specs are

Processor: Intel Core i7-2600K Sandy Bridge
Memory: CORSAIR Vengeance 16GB
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68-V PRO/GEN3
Hardrive: Crucial M4 256GB SATA
Second hardrive: Seagate 2TB 7200 RPM
Case: NZXT Phantom / Black Steel Full Tower Computer Case
Current graphic card: PNY GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 1GB

I want to upgrade my gpu but I don't know what to get.

I'd get the 670.
Saves you like a hundred bucks.

I really don't care about the money, to me both cards seem the same that's what bothers me. I know GTX 680 are hard to get nowadays

Then 680....

Then 680....

Might as well get EVGA 690, lol.

If you have the money get the 680. Else the 670 isn't that much of a step down.

Might as well quad SLI 690.

Might as well quad SLI 690.

Might as well also buy i7 3960x

The 670 and 680 are pretty much the same, they just made the 670 to be on par with a few cards in the ATI 6000 and 7000 series to cause competition.

Might as well also buy i7 3960x

Might as well also buy 64GB of RAM and 1500 PSU.

[Xipher]

Might as well also buy this.



191tb of memory, 112896 cores.

OP supercomputer.

Nigga please. Our render farm at work bests that two-fold.



Over 10 petaflops of processing power. That is 10,510,000,000,000,000 floating operation points. The GTX 590 was specialy built for these operations and was maxed out at 2,400,000,000. This makes the RIKEN the equivalent to 4,379,167 GTX 590's. Of course this is nothing compared to the TITAN project which will exceed 20 petaflops.

So if OP has a few billion dolars lying around I'm shore he'd be more than happy to dosh out for the RIKEN or invest in the TITAN project.


In all seriousness just go with the 670. You honestly won't notice a difference.

Pffft i just googled 'supercomputer' now we're all debating about Supercomputers...

^ I want that one.

Take the GTX 670.
Cheaper + better benchmark results.
