Forsaken Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 Then you go one step lower and look at a gtx 670 which cost over 100 USD less and performs the same or right at most benchies. Quote
Jefke Posted July 4, 2012 Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) Lol reference model, so much better cards available Edited July 4, 2012 by DrJoske Quote
.Idiom Posted July 6, 2012 Posted July 6, 2012 Then you go one step lower and look at a gtx 670 which cost over 100 USD less and performs the same or right at most benchies. Yea I don't understand why people still go for the 680 when the 670 is pretty much the same benchmark wise and cheaper. Hopefully I get enough money this month to get a 670, it would be a nice upgrade from my 560 ti Quote
Panamaniac Posted August 4, 2012 Posted August 4, 2012 I'm using an ATI Radeon HD 5870 with FULL settings and it runs great. My MacPro also has 4 SSD's and 32GB of ram though and it's dual quad core. It runs great! I use to upgrade at least once a year when I had a PC, but since this MacPro (which I bought in march 2010) I haven't felt the need. Unfortunately the HD 5870 is the fastest card they build for it at this time. Quote

putts Posted August 24, 2012 Posted August 24, 2012 why would you want to game with a macbook? not macbook. a macpro. http://www.apple.com/macpro/ it's a pc with ios on it. when you get good fast hardware like that, you don't need to upgrade for at least 5 years. i built my pc and went with a cheaper video card, but i'm kind of glad i did. now that the GTX 660 Ti was released, it's time to wait a few batches and save up to get it. $100 less than the 670 and runs pretty close to it. http://www.evga.com/products/moreInfo.asp?pn=02G-P4-3660-KR&family=GeForce 600 Series Family&sw= If you go big in the beginning, you dont have to upgrade anytime soon i7 860 w/CoolerMaster V8 EVGA P55 SLI 132-LF-E655-KR A72 BIOS EVGA GTX 260 Core 216 SC 896-P3-1257-AR Windows 7 Ultimate 64-Bit OCZ Vertex 2 OCZSSD3-2VTX120G (OS) WD 500gig Caviar Black (Games and Programs) OCZ3SG1600LV4GK (8Gigs total) Thermaltake TR-2 850 Watt PSU Quote

Most I've gone with a macbook is a 3-4 years. Quote
PiNoY Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 nice one but 403? whoow..must be a good good card.. can you tell us more of the improvement that you are having now after getting this? did you really get that nice FPS that their website is telling us? Quote
Jefke Posted August 29, 2012 Posted August 29, 2012 (edited) nice one but 403? whoow..must be a good good card.. can you tell us more of the improvement that you are having now after getting this? did you really get that nice FPS that their website is telling us? that card is useless, the 670 almost perform the same and is a lot cheaper and then you got the 660ti which perform almost the same as the 670 So no reason to get 680 XD. ow and that reference model cooler suck too, much better version on the market.
