hi everyone

i need recommendation on which gpu to get with a budget of £250 but im willing to pay more if you have good reason.

the rig is going to be used for (3D) gaming and fps games, video editing, photo shop and movies (3D).

current spec

Coolermaster Cosmos 2 ultra tower case
Asus vg27he 27" 3D monitor
Intel i7 3770k 3.5ghz CPU
[PENDING]cpu cooler Corsair h100i
[PENDING] Asus Maximums v Extreme/Formula z77 chipset motherboard.
i'm still researching rest of my components.

and maybe in the near future i will give a go at water cooling if money allows tho.


next in line after the motherboard was the gpu i know tht i cant use AMD gpu for the Nvidia vision 2 kit and the monitor.

so from the 6 series Nvidia cards which is going to be the best for my budget and needs.


feel free to ask more about my rig im building and my needs to help you give an accurate answer and recommendations.
 
At £250 for Nvidia I would be looking for a GTX760 4GB one also. But you cannot go wrong with the 670 either. Is the same card basically.

Its not the same card, the GTX 760 has 1152 cores while the GTX 670 has 1344 cores, the only reason the 760 looks about as fast is because Nvidia clocked it higher to give it that impression.

The GTX 670 is the more powerful card. :)
 
Due to your need for 3d it will have to be the 670! But if 3d was not an issue the 7970Ghz edition as previously said would be much better performance wise
 
thanks for the feed back the gpu need to be nvidia gpu because im going to be using nvidia 3d vision on the asus vg278he monitor.

for now il be using 1 monitor and 1 gpu until i have enough money to get another 2 for nivida 3d surround upgrade


the 680 has come down in price similar to the 670.

game wise im going to be trying 3d and 2d games dont know which games yet most likey the mainstream games
 
Again another vote for the 7970 try and get the Matrix Platinum. Having said that if you do want to stick to Nvidia, and you can stretch to the 680, go for that over the 670, it's a much better card :)
