GPU Value Comparisons

[srothman]

Thanks guys.

The reason I ask about the multi-card scenario is, like I said, because I want to, and also would like to try and get best bang for buck in the longer run. Was thinking of getting a single Mid-range card now that might be good and be able expand later and rather use the extra $$$ I might save now on a proper case and RAM or whatever.

Got a beeeeg update on the way, trying to fit in the CF of HD77xx and up, as well as GTX680 SLI and GTX690. Will likely publish the results Friday

Ok, think its all done. GTX670 is in there too, and I felt like changing the colour scheme Now that the list is getting big again, I'm confused again on how to sort it - by name, price, performance or value If you can give me a good reason to go one way or the other I'll happily change it.

edit: Oh right, forgot to put in my thoughts after this batch. It basically boils down to this: GTX670 or bust. HD79xx is again irrelevant unless they drop pricing (again), which will obviously need a cascade effect down the HD7xxx line. Even a GTX680 is in half a tough spot. Yes its still top dog, but the GTX670 comes really close in several titles (like BF3 and Metro) that the extra cost cant be justified in my opinion. However, all this depends on stock in the channel. I've yet to see GTX680 have decent stock levels, I suspect GTX670 will suffer the same fate due to issues with production. Only time will tell how it all plays out

As always, let me know if you find any errors

Love the new black and green colour scheme Archer, guessing you got inspiration from your rig.

The GTX670 is actually available from several vendors in SA already. Ordered my Gigabyte GTX 670 OC Edition on the 15th. So I guess it looks like stock levels are already in a better position. This card is a major win for consumers!

PS. Great work!

[lucifir]

archer .. can you please tell me where you get those prices from??
especially for the HD6850

[Archer]

Linky

Possibly out of stock however, next cheapest is around R1800

If you need a 6850, email PC-Direct. I got a MSI OC one for 1599 from them a month ago (although it might have been special pricing, since it was part of a relatively big order)

Just a heads up... been searching for a good price on the GTX 680 for a friend. Found a good deal at Prophecy for R4999

[Pansyfaust]

Not sure if I must go 560ti sli (I have one already) or if I must save up, sell the 560ti and get a 670...Any suggestions? BTW, i have a 560ti capable psu, so no extra cost needed there. Also a 2600k, gene-z and 8 gigs ram, so a pretty up to date system...

Don't mean to troll, but the classifieds here aren't really organized
I'm selling my GTX 590 to upgrade to a 690 end of July (slightly less than a year old) So if anyone's interested, drop me a pm R5000
