About to pull the trigger...

...on one of these:

Is it going to be an earth shattering upgrade from my 2GB GTX560Ti Twin Frozr card? I was going to wait until Witcher 3 but DA:I is tempting me back to gaming... Even my current card is running the lkes of Wolfenstein New Order, though so not sure it's worth it?

Also how quiet are these and does it vent out the back? Any better option at that price point +/- say 40 quid?

Currently gaming at 1920x1200.

Cheers, OcUK oracles..

EDIT: Will this also be ok with my XFX 850W XXX Edition Modular '80 Plus Silver' Power Supply ?

It will be over twice as quick. Strong upgrade.

Be an awesome upgrade from a 560Ti. Go for it !!

 

[Narj]

Bought - cheers. Looks like I'll be having some nights away from the pub very shortly.

It's OK, it's not too much of a problem as I've got decent ventilation anyhow, was more curiosity.

Thanks

Thanks, all - this thing eats up everything I throw at it. Absolutely amazing!

Frame limiting to 60fps means that the temps stay nice and cool and it's whisper silent!

I tried a 280X crossfire and the Gigabyte G1 970 GTX is just so good. The 280X was good too though, had it for a year

Skyrim looks absolutely beautiful! Never been able to run an ENB before!

Makes me happy!

nice to hear Narj, I got a ATI 5870, and need an upgrade, looking at MSI as well, you have exactly the same CPU as me, love to see your 3dmark scores?

Which particular bench do you want to see?

The difference is night and day to be honest, Unigine Heaven runs very well for the most part on Ultra which was a surprise. No more annoying frame rate drops in games at 1920x1200.

Now tempted to get a bigger screen but I don't think I can pull myself away from my lovely NEC. :/
