New Graphics card decision

[Allattar]

I am thinking of replacing the Pallit 460 2GB card I have and moving up to a 660.

Of course the choice of cards is huge, which makes the decisions not as easy.

Typically I play at 1920*1220. I have a second monitor for desktop but wont be trying to display a game across two monitors. They are not exactly the same monitor, and the bevels will be in the middle.

I figure something like

Will fit the bill pretty well.

But would there be much benefit in pushing the price a bit higher and getting something like.

The motherboard is PCI 3, and the cpu is an i7 2700.

What would you all recommend?

You're still PCI-E 2.0 because of your CPU.

However have you considered AMD ; http://www.overclockers.co.uk/showproduct.php?prodid=GX-305-SP&groupid=701&catid=56&subcat=1673

Forgot about the Cpu effect on PCI 3.

Not averse to AMD boards. I know the 7950's are similar in performance to the 660.

Its really trying to work out which is the best deal currently

the 660 is the better option over the ti....as there does not seem to be much difference in performance...or at least not enough to justify the price difference....I have the 660 and think it is an excellent card

Don't bother with the 660ti. Either get the 660 or 670 listed above.
