Graphics card for 1440p.

[YoungThomas]

Hi all I have had my new DGM monitor for two weeks and I'm loving it.

However my gtx 660ti is having trouble running games at 2560x1440.

I am going to upgrade my graphics but I am torn between the gtx 680 and the 7970.

Current system specs are:

I7 3930k
Asus Rive
64gb Team DDR3
480gb SSD
Bitfenix Collosus
1250 Watt OCZ PSU

Thanks for your time.

if you are looking at that, i would go either 7970 or GTX 680 bare minimum if you want the best out of it. My friend has a 680 but even that struggles on some games (crysis) on ultra

Get a 7950 and overclock it, or if you're considering a GTX680, 2 7950s in crossfire.

The GTX680 isn't too good at anything over 1080p, so really, you're spending more money for a lot less performance by going for a 680.

7950 crossfire

I only have up to £400 so crossfire is out of the question. I would also rather not have two cards as my case doesn't seem great for cooling. Do the standard 7970's overclock to levels of the GHZ cards easily?

Thanks Tom

They do, 7950s do too. My 7950s overclock to 1200Mhz on air.
