Members OverDriven Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Within reason, a Geforce 660ti. I just got one. Some will tell you the equivalent Radeon is better, but I've always had problems with their cards. Nvidia always works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regardless I have the gigabyte OC version and that freaking thing is quiet as hell, which is something I never new I cared about until I had it.

Members EdgeOfDarkness Posted January 1, 2013 Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 Nvidia won't release the specifications for any of their graphics cards, therefore, not any operating systems have non-propiertary DRI support for their cards. Quite a dilemma. Since you are using a MAC. EDIT: Oh, From MAC...You will be fine with a nVidia then if you decide to go that route. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It should be here on Wednesday. All that really matters is that it's powerful enough to shred any current game on high settings, and the 660ti is in combination with the overclocked i5-3570K I have.

It's way less than that. I just got one at Newegg for $269. They typically range from about $270 to $310. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FYI, I have a 560ti, and it will play any current game on max settings. Haven't been able to slow it down yet. You'll enjoy that card for sure.

Members gt_jumper Posted January 1, 2013 Author Members Share Posted January 1, 2013 http://www.harveynorman.com.au/hp-en...top-tower.html If i bought this, would it be easily flushed of all the HP crap? I cant actually buy and make one due to it taking a year before i will have the total cost needed. I will be getting this interest free or renting.
