Bottleneck

[random_matt]

480's are now £149, I am going to buy two for SLI. I already have a case, cpu and mobo and can do with spending little as possible money on a build. However, will my xeon 1220 v2 bottleneck my cards, should I buy a 2500k, they are quite cheap at the mo and can OC very high.

The CPU's are pretty much equal but I very much doubt they would be the bottleneck.

Any particular reason for the SLI 480s over a single 670?

 

[random_matt]

I can have two 480's instead of one 670, no brainer. I know of the power and heat they produce, I have had 480 sli before, who really cares.

they were 79 quid two weeks ago on here paying 149 quid for one is a joke tbh

Watch your tongue, we give free advice here and quite frankly you're a partridge short of a pear tree if you think 2 SLI 480s is a better bet than one 670.

Watch your tongue, your speaking to ulfric stormcloak

sorry couldnt resist.

but yea op stop being an ass, jonsmith and DG are trying to get you a better deal. save money put it towards a single 670. it will use less power and be better at playing current games

 

[humbug]

I was not intentionally being rude to anyone, if I was then I apologise. Having taken your advise I have purchased a Inno3D GTX 670 Accelero Hybrid card.

I just saw him call one of our esteemed members a "numbskull" and I simply could not let that pass.

Thankfully we scared him into a good decision I think.

Probably should've gone for a 7970 though...

 

[Something Else]

lol yea but he wanted nvidia in his original post soooo.

op if you havent ordered the 670 yet go for a 7970

 

[Bromhead]

+1 I would go for the 7970 if you still can
