Which card a KFA2 GeForce GTX 580 OC or MSI 660TI OC ?? Thanks

Hi can you pros give me good reasons for or against which of these following cards would be better for me. I like gaming Crysis 2 etc.

Should I buy this card a KFA2 GeForce GTX 580 OC at £179 ( It lets you use 3 monitors off the single card,, pretty good?)

or should I buy one of the below

MSI 660TI OC Black Knight at £200

Any reason why only those 2 cards and not an AMD choice?

The 660ti all the way, performance wise there's not much in it but the 660ti is smaller, cooler, has a full 2Gb of vram and assuming your buying new I believe MSI gives you a full 3 year warranty.

I think he's looking at the clearance B grade items.

Yes, correct the GTX580 OC is in clearance section the 4 monitor support would be VERY helpful, plus I like Nvidia cards.

So you say the MSI 66TI Oc is my better choice. I guess your correct newer GPU and more stream processors.
£200 is my tip top amount I can afford for a new GPU card, so unless someone else knows anymore I will look at the 660TI cards.

Right now I have a standard GTX460 756mb versionm which has performed good for 3 years nearly now, a good card I like it plus it worked on all games I played on it.
I was thinking of SLI ing the GTX460 they have same card at scan for £76 but I am not sure the Bus Width on my 460 and the Scan EVGA GTX460 are the same, and I was told both cards in an SLI setuneed identical Bit Width's ie 256bit on each card or they willl not work in SLI mode? Is this correct?

660Ti is decent if you can get one under £200. It's about the right price for it.

Not recommended for above 1920*1080 though.

Hi I just bought one of the MSI GeForce GTX 660 Ti OC 2048MB GDDR5 Graphics Card for £200 plus £9 postage so £209 all in.It was reduced from £213 to £200 so saved £13 not to bad, it's free postage really.
I really really liked the look of the KFA2 GTX590OC card in clearence section with 4 monitor display, i don't have 4 monitors but am thinking of buying a second Hanns-G 27inch LCD as they are fast enough for gaming I've never seen ghosting using my Hanns-G monitor during gaming.

Now I just have to sell my GTX460 756mb card hope I can get £60 on flea bay for it?

Thanks for all the help.
