That's not the case for most of Nvidia fans I know, EVGA is highly sought.

Both Asus and Gigabyte GTX 770 2GB are now in C-Zone price list. No price for Asus, RM 1999 for the Gigabyte

I don't know why that 2 slots look like so slim

I can't wait for new driver, this 320.18 gives me the 59hz classic issue :S

M$#%#$ F@#$@# so it is true the driver is the problem. I installed it since it came out. I never thought there's any problem, until I realized my setting in GRID 2 showed I run at 59hz, a quick google would show if it is a common problem with some version of nvidia driver. I'm downgrading it for sure, will not take the risk

Why not going for 320.00? I'm so lazy to think of doing all the trouble to remove it.

I did the Driver Fusion and CCleaner way and clean installed 320.14, the 59hz issue still there, ran GRID 2 benchmark, min max avg fps increased by 3-4fps compared to 320.18. But the result is still lower than GTX 780 that someone posted it youtube with the same settings. Nvidia come on now !!!

MSI GTX 770 2GB = RM15xx, sorry for all the GTX680 owner :S

"What you’ll need: A little bit of patience..!
*Compatible/Working geforce driver for you GPU extracted from Nvidia installer to a newly created folder on your desktop.
*Installed Driver Fusion, aka Driver Sweeper Link: http://www.treexy.com/media/30691/driver_fusion_1.6.0.exe

First: Boot into Safe Mode follow instructions below!
*Win7 -Restart PC and keep hitting F8 on your keyboard until you see an option to select Safe Mode.
*Win8 -Open Notepad, copy and paste the following command line: C:\Windows\system32>shutdown /r /o /f /t 00

If a card really dead because of this driver problem and required RMA, I wanna see how Nvidia attemp to solve this, because waiting for RMA like weeks, put the owner of the card at the disadvantage because of the driver problem? RIDICULOUS !

Another model you mean?

Using 320.18?

This is assuming that the driver only causing problem in bf3, remember alot of other people experiencing other problems to the worst case of a dead card which I believe has nothing to do with FXAA setting.

Some people said the 320.xx version currently all have that risk, so 314.xx?

Some people would prefer to play a game at it's max setting as the way it's meant to be played hence they spend on the most powerful GC which is not cheap, some people would want to play as smooth as possible with every restriction they have so they lower down the settings and all, which one are you? If you have some restrictions, it's always easier to check your budget, check which GC fits your budget, check youtube how the card perform on games you want to play, if you can tolerate it, go for it dont think twice

If you only want to play Bioshock Infinite and want to use Nvidia card, I guess a used GTX 670 (RM700-RM800) should be ok and wise for now. GTX 7xx series just came out so price is still at its highest peaked. Then only upgrade to GTX 8xx series in the future.

Most 24" is 1920x1080, only expensive IPS panel like from Dell Ultrasharp series has 1920x1200

Just think as this way, the higher the resolution, the harder it is to carry, and then about the case of comparison you mentioned, it means at the "weight" of 1440x900 a 6870 actually can perform at the most optimum the game could portray, means there will be no different if you use a better card. Assuming the game is not those extremely heavy games.

You mean GTX 580 vs GTX 650? It all depends in alot of things, as the priority to look at is feature i guess, both of those mentioned card is still offering the same feature, unless if the more powerful older card run only DX10 and the newer less powerful one can run DX11, Some people don't care about it, some does. The second thing is the price, we know already the older card has lesser "life span" as in lesser future proof. If the price gap can justify it, why not. And always make sure your PSU is sufficient, older more powerful card tend to require higher watt, older nm technology.

I can assure you your processor can last you really long for gaming.

Depends on what purpose, if it is gaming and it is Crysis 3 at max setting, 1x24" also it can't handle well lol

*edit: my bad, i did not see 3 GTX 670 4GB, this I have no idea haha

For comfortability I would never run a multiple GPU setup anymore, currently using GTX 690 (dual GPU, one board), and having 2 physical cards not only about microstuttering problem, but also heat and also blocking your case to have a good airflow, i can't think even of 3 cards.

+1

Depends on the game, you better make sure if it will run smooth in your next graphic card purchase, or else the purchase would be useless. And also good to make sure if really the games are heavy, just afraid you might have other problems. Maybe it's good for you to share with us full specs of your PC

I'm using GTX 690, playing Neverwinter online most of the time now, but somehow it looks alot smoother and nicer in my friend's PC using 7870XT with boost. I would avoid multiple GPU config for now judging from my personal experience

Haha nice you took the risk for the sake of testing, I like this
