El Quintron Resident Mouth Breather Premium join:2008-04-28 Etobicoke, ON kudos:2 Reviews: ·TekSavvy DSL ·WIND Mobile ·voip.ms	reply to El Quintron the 670 seems to be a bit of a better performer with more power savings: »www.hwcompare.com/12524/geforce-···gtx-670/ I have no experience with either, but the 570 is about $100 cheaper. I'd like to get the most up-to-date card if there are no serious performance defects with it. -- Support Bacteria -- It's the Only Culture Some People Have

Octavean Premium,MVM join:2001-03-31 New York, NY kudos:1	reply to El Quintron Yeah I could see that,…. The GTX 670 is typically a full ~$100 or so more then the GTX 660. So seeing a GTX 670 Tiat ~$369 is roughly a ~$40 savings. That’s about a 10% off and it is significant. I’m a bit of a cheapskate though since I cut back on PC gaming and a willingness to pay for higher-end cards,….which makes the cheaper GTX 660 Ti more palatable IMO. In fact I might be more interested in the upcoming GTX 660 (non-Ti version) at ~$250. Also HD 7870 prices seem to be dropping some,….

I'd love to take an ATI card for a test drive but their Linux drivers are lacking. Hopefully they'll get on this soon, maybe when steam launches their Linux client. -- Support Bacteria -- It's the Only Culture Some People Have

Krisnatharok Caveat Emptor Premium join:2009-02-11 Earth Orbit kudos:7	Just think, you have to spend $1000 (GTX 690) to get a significantly better GPU than you have now. Just spend $300 and pick up a second GTX 580.

Chrno join:2003-12-11	Looks like you missed the boat for a $309.99 GTX670 here: »www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX39338 You can call and see if they are willing to ship you one from their Edmonton location. OR You can attempt to get NCIX to price beat. Good luck. I think from a performance standpoint, the 670 will give you around a 150-200% performance increase over the 560ti.
