Decided on a GTX 670 but which one?

Yes I've not seen any evidence of the 2gb cards struggling at this Res unless you are applying 8xMSAA or something silly like like that. You shouldn't need much AA at this Res anyway.
You would probably be CPU bottlenecked though.

Thanks for that now what to buy I like the fact that EVGA do a ten year warranty if registered in first 30 days and warranty can be transfered, but Im wanting one with the backplate as its looking good but no stock

But to put it at the higher clock speed you just punch the number into EVGA Precision X or whatever...

There's much more to it than a clock speed. Oh well you obviously know better :rolleyes:

Perhaps he doesn't over clock and just wants to run at stock. Overclocking isn't for everyone so the 670 is probably the best card for him. It does make me laugh when people make their buying decisions on a 50mhz core speed hike though :confused:
 
Thanks guys for your responses. I do not want to over clock myself as I do not feel confident enough to do such a task. I don't want anything to go BANG.

I do appreciate Rusty0611's response. I confess I am not a great computer enthusiast, but a modiest one. This computer is only for my office in Leicester and picking one over another to me seems trivial. I do not claim to 'know better' and my choice may not be the best. Perhaps I better leave myself limited to just running my company with this year an £8m turnover with estimate 10% profit rate at age 24 rather than making a decision which is deemed unpopular by a forum user and then be put down for making that decision. It is true I did ask people here for an opinion, but I decided to choose something different which is totally my decision since my money was used to pay for the card. If you do disagree, perhaps you could try being a little more professional.
 
Cards don't go bang... they shut down if they get hot and a Gigabyte Windforce 3x won't get that hot anyway. The point is moot to be fair because overclocking isn't the taboo it used to be with BIOS tweaks and voltage hikes with the 6** series of cards. You ask someone nicely and they give you a safe overclock setting (say 100mhz boost) and you press 1, 0, 0 and press enter and it's done. It's that simple.

Yes it is your decision but that doesn't make it the right one. It doesn't make it the wrong one either because there isn't much in it, it's just the large majority of users would recommend the Windforce as you have seen.

You asked people for advice and then ignored it while in your words not being a great computer enthusiast and as such presumably not knowing that much about graphics cards either. The MSI is still a good card, it's just the Windforce is slightly better.

You'll enjoy it still. It's not like you've bought a duff card it's just not the best you could have got.

p.s. love the condescending ******** about me being a forum user (and presumably nothing else) whereas you're the next big thing on The Apprentice. That did make me laugh :)
