GTX 660 Ti vs. GTX 670 - Page 3

post #21 of 363
TBH, i'd get a Radeon 7870 instead of a 660 Ti. The 192-bit memory bus cripples the card when you turn up the memory intensive stuff in games, like AA settings. The 660 Ti and 7870 trade blows, but once you turn up all the settings to ultra, then the 7870 has the upper hand. But then there's the 670, which stomps both of those cards. I'd say go for a 670, the $100 just might be worth it.

Oh ok, thanks. I forgot to mention that I keep my options on the Green side because of 3D Vision. I use a BenQ XL2420TX monitor. And I was never a fan of Radeon cards, so yeah smile.gif

So in essence, the 660Ti is inferior in every way to the 670 except for pricing, right?

The 660Ti is supposed to be inferior to the 670 - it is the next card down the line up.
With a 120MHz monitor I would go with a 670. I don't know if AA, etc is more demanding on a 120Mhz monitor (I would assume so), so I'd also go for a 4Gb version.


The MSI Twin Frozr, Gigabyte and Asus direct coppers are all getting great reviews - regardless of model.

Out of the 660Ti and 670? The 670.

Get whatever is best in your price point...

Hmm.......So what do you guys think 3 660ti 3gb cards or 2 670 4gb cards? Price would be pretty close to the same.

My main concern is the 192-bit of the 660ti. Seems like this is a big pitfall of an otherwise nice card.

Please! If you want to give advice, check your facts. If you don't know and assume, better not to give advice. please check first!!!

First of all, there are no 120MHz monitors, you mean 120Hz
A 120Hz monitor in itself is not more demanding. If you get 40fps out of a game, it's the same on a 60Hz or 120Hz monitor.
(reminder for some people: you will never see 100fps on a 60Hz monitor, you'll see 60 frames and the other 40 are wasted, or you'll see part of it, resulting in horizontal artifacts)

If you play in 3D, however, you want double the framerate. No extra penalty for AA as there is with going to a higher resolution.
In my opinion, better spent your money in faster card rather than more memory.

i can notice 120fps to 60fps difference EVEN on my 60hz monitor.
120hz you NEED consistent 120fps to get the SMOOTHEST and lowest INPUT LAG possible. and they ARE more demanding considering if you wanna see 120hz you will need consistent 120fps, vsync wont make a difference vsync feels so laggy for me so i cap all my games at 121fps just cause i can notice a huge diff between120 and 60 and the other 40 are noit wasted i cant stand vysnc on 60hz 60fps feels like 30fps to me, i have to have 120fps consistent, its taht much smoother and im noteven using a 120hz monitor.
post #30 of 363
if you play bf3 i would get the 670 since you need high frame rate to completely get the benefits on a 120hz monitor. you will notice a huge difference beween 60fps and 120fps on that monitor but some ppl wont really depends on ur eye. if u have the money and want to play max settings all games 670 is way to go but if u dont play max settings then 660 will do
