GamersNexus: "Another week - another discount. This week I searched the web and—as always—found some sweet deals on gaming hardware and PC building equipment, including SSD sales, GPU deals, and CPU sales. I usually just go with just five picks, but with so many deals out there, we've listed seven noteworthy deals for you! Let's get to the good stuff!"
they are both overclocked and giving me more power than a single GTX680 so I'm in no hurry!
I rather get a GREAT deal on HD7000 or GTX600 series!
I always run SLI or CFX so I will have more power than a single GTX x80 or HD x970 card!
GTX 660 ti SLI or HD7950 CFX @ $550 is the price point I'm looking for!
plus selling my old cards will get me a $250 so I'm only spending $300
Although considering the pricing of the GTX Titan, I'm somewhat concerned about the way Nvidia and AMD have been handling replacements in their pricing models. As we know, the Titan was the original GTX 680 until they decided they could get away with replacing a flagship GPU with a Mid-High end part and charge the same money, which was also sparked by AMD charging over $500 for their flagship on release simply because it was faster than the closest Nvidia GPU (the 580). They can't keep upping the price each generation relative to the fastest of the previous refresh like this or PC gaming WILL become prohibitively expensive.
Instead of lowering the price of their current crop of GPUs, they just come out with more expensive ones. The price/performance ratio is staying the same.
They need to lower the price of what they have now, and introduce the newer generations at the same price point, not a higher one.
I never had a gtx560ti sli. But I did have a gtx560. Sli. It gave me solid 60fps bf3 but I'm not sure it's level to a gtx680 lol?.
I'm running happy on my 7970 looking by another refrence design few months.
Happy about this.
