GPU help

[james2594]

i was looking to spend some money on a new GPU (i have the GTX 460 768mb)
and was wondering wether you could help me decide if i should buy a GTX 660
or wait for the new 700 series (760 or 770) since there coming out soonish.

thanks

Cool.

Back to the question,

GTX460 (1GB) vs GTX660 - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/542?vs=660

The GTX660 hasnt been out for long, wasn't aware that a 7 series replacement was coming out soon.

almost double on everything, pretty good card.
i heard that the 7 series was coming in 2013 march sometime?

No idea, does your GTX460 struggle?

What are the other components in your rig?

What resolution is your monitor?

well on BF3 i can run it on medium with 55fps, high at about 40 or so
it's alright on most games.

8GB(4x2) 1600mhz DDR3 (XMS3)
i5 760 not overclocked atm
monitor res is 1920x1080

If a 7 series is due in March it would surely be to replace the 670/680 cards that came out much earlier than the 660/650 etc, thus they would be a similar pricing point?

If you don't think you can wait for a true 660 replacement, then the MSI and Gigabyte GTX660 cards have fantastic coolers and are currently at good prices.
