Why not get the 760 2GB instead? http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130932

y/n

Why do you come on this thread every few days and post a link and say "y/n". What's the point in this? You don't post anything about what your budget is, you don't say anything about your system, etc. All you do is randomly post parts like "Y/N'.

Edit: Sorry for double post.

760 out performs all of them except the 270X in some games at higher resolutions.

Go here and select the dropdown menu where it says Introduction and then proceed to the benchmarks.

Alright, I think I'll go for the 760; the price/performance ratio seems to be pretty close to what AMD can offer, especially since I don't have a high-res monitor. I've also experienced Nvidia's drivers to be less troublesome than AMD, though that might've changed recently. Thanks for your help.

Wtf, that is a truly ridiculous markup. Just buy it from an online store, you can either save yourself $100 or you'll be able to buy a 770 for the same price

That's because the prices are converted from Swedish crowns. The cards actually cost about the same in the other stores.

I switched to NVIDIA because AMD drivers sucked.

So I got a question. I'm thinking of upgrading my GPU in a few months and i'm wondering what the best option would be.

I have a GTX 670 4GB FTW+ and I want to know, should I SLI this or get a GTX 780 Ti

What would give me better performance, SLI or the GTX 780 Ti? The games I play are ArmA II/III, BF3/4, GTA 4, Minecraft, and Blockland.

My System (Most of this is upgrades i'm getting on Christmas):

CPU: Intel Core i7-4770K 3.5GHz Quad-Core Processor

Mobo: Gigabyte GA-Z87X-UD3H ATX LGA1150 Motherboard

PSU: Corsair Professional 750W 80+ Gold Certified Semi-Modular ATX Power Supply

OS: Microsoft Windows 8.1 - 64-bit - OEM (64-bit)

Just wait until you're actually ready to upgrade. There's sense trying to figure it out ahead of time because card and vendor offering are going to change, as well as pricing

Alright. It might be sooner (as in 1 month soonest), I want to upgrade because I tend to get terrible performance on ArmA 3. I currently am using a i5-3470. I don't know if it's my CPU, GPU or what. I only get like 30-40FPS. Some say that they get much better performance after overclocking to 4GHz+.

will a geforce GTX 650 let me have max shaders in blockland??

y/n meaning is it worth it or not? I don't have a budget but I'm not looking to spend stupidly

Do you guys know any reason why my NEW ssd caught fire?

I think we should first discover why any part of your PC caught fire in the first place

Sounds more like a power supply issue honestly.

[blockbuilder1]

The odd thing is that it was running fine for the last 2 days of owning. The fire started at the connecter, luckly i was in to room to put it out only the connecter on the SSD and the cable from the power supply were damage.

or you can go to youtube and watch the DIY videos one computer building and get a better understanding of how computer parts function together.

I know what you are saying, but you give us no information about anything on your build, what your budget is, etc. You need to have a budget for building a computer so people can tell you if it's worth it or not. You just come on with random parts every day or two like "y/n" and without giving us anything about the build we cannot tell you if it is worth it or not.
