Hi,

By the end of this year I'm going to buy a new computer, and for once I'm just going to spend more money on it so that I don't have to buy a new one again after a year.

However, I'm struggling which graphics card to go for. I play lots of games on the PC. The GFX Titan looks all awesome and powerful of course, but it's about 350$ more expensive than the GFX 780, and I don't feel like unnecessarily spending more money than what is worth it.

What do you say I should go for? Maybe the GFX 680 is good enough already? Which GFX Card do you have and what games do you play on it?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: Hm, I read somewhere that the GTX 770 has the best price\performance ratio. Can you guys agree on that?

the GTX 760 4GB SC card from EVGA is where you should be putting your money. I wouldn't go much higher than a 770.

It also depends on what resolutions and features you want.
Blame it on Microsoft, God does.

If I shouldn't go much higher than a 770, I think that's where I'll go for then.
Not that I want to be selfish by not going for the GTX 760, but the 770 is still quite a bit faster and not that much more expensive.

Thanks!

(Sorry for the late reply! I read your response earlier already but I couldn't respond at the time)

I have recently built a new rig and from rather extensive Googling and comparing I have decided on an Nvidia GTX 760 to be the best value for money. Having said that have a look at nearly new 2nd hand stuff as well for a couple of weeks, there may be some bargains to be had.

I have built my PC a few weeks ago and I bought a GTX 770 since the price dropped like a week before I was buying my computer parts.

The specs:

OS: Windows 8.1
Processor: Intel i5 3570K
GFX: 770 GTX
Ram: 8 GB
HDD: 1 TB (no SSD for me yet, too expensive IMO)

How much was the 770? Because the 760s I have my eye on are £180. Edit: Also, didn't realise this thread was over a month old, shows how inactive this place is now days ;(

Mine was about £254, but that's also including Assassin's Creed Black Flag, Splinter Cell Blacklist and Batman: Arkham Origins.

Here is a comparison between the two cards: http://www.hwcompare.com/14793/geforce-gtx-760-vs-geforce-gtx-770/

If you'd like to see screenshots, I'll post them here soon.

Well I got a GTX 760 in the end for £170 so I figure that'll do me. There is always plenty of overclocking head room since it is based on the previous GTX 670 but considering I have enjoyed Far Cry 3 using only Intel HD 4600 integrated graphics I don't think I'll need more performance than stock anyway.
