570 vs 660ti/670

[climhazzard36]

I have a 570 but it is getting RMA'd on Monday due to capacitor sequel.
I will get £200 back from the RMA.

My question is, should I simply get another 570, or upgrade to the 660ti or 670. Will I see much of a difference?

I play games at 1080p, with a 2500k.

youll see a difference in reduced heat and noise most likely, the performance jump wont be real world noticable though if at all with the 570 vs 660

 

[climhazzard36]

Is it worth jumping to the 670?
£200 was high to begin with but I don't mind adding another £60 (I can get a 670 for that price) if its worth the jump from the 570.

Not worth it imo

Considering 570's are £220+ on here it wouldn't make sense to buy another one when newer cards at roughly that price point are faster, cooler and more efficient. Personally i'd just add the extra to the £200 you're getting from RMA and grab a 670.

I went from 570 to 570 sli to 670 back to single 570

Anther alternative that is better than both is; A HD7950 https://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-054-HS&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673

Its Same speed as the 670 but £60 quid cheaper, also overclocks much better on average than both the nvidia cards. No brainer really

Totally agree - 7950 is a steal when you compare to current 670 prices

^ agree non-ref 670 was a good deal at 300, at 350+ its nowhere near as worth it,

Well if you're getting £200 back for your £200, then I wouldn't get another 570 since there are better options now for that price. If you don't want to spend more than £200, then a 7850 would be good, otherwise you could look at getting a 670 if you want to stay with Nvidia.

If I was looking to buy a new card now, it would definitely be a 670.

670 for sub 300

are u ok

he is ok

I can afford a 670 if it is a reference model, It will be a palit.
Does anyone have any experience with that model?

My PC is kinda quiet, worried it will offset the noise balance if you understand

If your wanting the card to quieter.. then get a custom cooler card. Instead of the blower type..

I had a Palit 670 with an almost silent PC. The fan sounds completely naff, like a really cheap pwm fan.

I ended up returning it.

I've now had 3 different 7970's (2xVTX-X, 1xGB windforce) but all suffered from coil whine. So I've now purchased a 7950 HIS IceQ, hopefully this won't suffer with coil whine! I shall be overclocking it to 670 performance when it arrives, assuming it's any good!

For £240 I think this is a good buy compared to the 660ti/670

the EVGA is a blower type but it's much cooler and quieter than the other reference blower type cards

if you can find it at a similar price to the pallit it's a good choice
