I was thinkign about upgradeing my system and doing a triple screen setup, And I wanted to do two Graphic cards so it doesn't split my Sapphire Radeon HD 7850's performance.

So. Which one should I get? I was thinking about just going with the Sapphire since I have one already.

EVGA Geforce GTX 670 4GB SC

I have an idea, why don't I go buy $1000 of graphics cards!

get the GTX 690 Hydrocopper!



btw the ATI Radeon gpu is has a good price compared to that GTX. but the Radeon might have been used a lot.


two of the 670s.

the fact that they're overclocked by the manufacturers probably puts them on par with the 680, as a 670 is just a slightly less 680 but can easily match it in performance.

OP: try going with this 670 instead:

EVGA cards tend to just stick one little fan on the back which IMO isn't as effective as something like this, with two large fans near the GPU itself.  the only drawbacks i can see at quick glance are that these come at 2GB of dedicated VRAM per card, but then again 2GB of VRAM per card is plenty since you'll have two of them anyway.
