Which 660Ti

[nickeverett]

I built a system about a year ago. Specs in my sig below.

I'm looking for a GPU to put in it. I know most people will advise me to buy AMD 7950 or similar, but I need CUDA support for some of the video edit/grading programs I use (DaVinci Resolve). So I'm stuck to nVidia.

Which of the many 660ti would you suggest? Best for cooling and mild overclock.

have a look at this if you haven't done so already:

Great videos. That guy is hilarious!

Unless the software you uses supports NVEnc,you are probably better off with a GTX580.

However,the software appears to support OpenCL in the Mac version:

If the PC version supports OpenCL,the HD7950 will be a very good card to choose then, as it is meant to be quite fast with OpenCL.

Sadly the PC version is only compatible with nVidia cards - http://www.blackmagicdesign.com/media/4805318/Resolve_Win_Config_Guide_2012-08-30.pdf



Thanks for all the replies, you've given me plenty to think about.

To clarify, my PC is mostly for photo editing and (soon) gaming. At work I sometimes use DaVinci resolve on custom built Mac, but it would be useful to use it occasional at home too.

Looks like the MSI card is the favorite!
