I Been Waiting for Nvidia's $300 Kepler, But Really Want an Upgrade.

post #1 of 44
Thread Starter 
Do you guys think it will be late this month? I heard rumors to that effect and also that it might be late summer or early fall. All I know is I'm tired of waiting. I saw an EVGA GTX 560 Ti 448 FTW at Amazon for $249.99 with a $30 MIR. My GTX 460 is adequate, but I'm tired of turning down quality settings on many games to keep things smooth. Would you bite for this deal or wait for the GTX 660 (or whatever its going to be called)?

I'm not expecting (or needing) an "OMG this is so much faster!" type experience - I just want a little more smoothness and a final GPU upgrade to pair with my GTX 980 BE (which I'll keep another year or so). The one thing that's holding me back is the idea of much lower power consumption from a Kepler (which would be nice during the summer - less heat in the room).

I'm sort of in the same boat you are. I'm itching to upgrade my 460s (upgrade everything actually) and I'm having a hell of a time waiting for the 660 to show up. Might have to bite the bullet and grab a 670, they are just too damn good... even though I have a feeling that the 660s price/performance is going to be excellent as well. But then I also know if I wait for the 660, I might as well wait for the 700s... grrr.

Want to shout out and say a 2.5Gb 570 pretty bad, but I'll just say wait.

Wait, or buy something from the dark side. Don't spend the money on a 560 ti.
