Thinking about upgrading my video card? Which card would best for gaming?
I want to play all games at 1920x1080 res, maxed settings in game and also in the NV control panel. You can see my settings below. I have the 480 GTX. The price range I can max out at is $525.

Depends, what is your budget?
I personally think the 670 is awesome, but it's expensive. Not as expensive as the 680, and performs almost identically.
The 660 Ti and 660 are good at lower budgets as well, but the HD78xx series from AMD is better at those lower price points.
Crusader for the 64-bit Era.
New Rule: 2GB per core, minimum.

Will all of these mentioned above be an improvement from my 480 GTX?

id say either a gtx 660ti or radeon 7950 at $300... anything faster than than (ie gtx670, radeon 7970) would be wasted at 1920x1080

right now with my current rig I am running at 1920 x 1080 with maxed game settings for Batman Arkum City, transformers FOC, Diablo III, DC Universe and a few others. I play all games with those settings and the forced AA to 4x, AF16x and transperant AA to 2x(SS). All games fly at these settings except for Batman and Diablo. Sometimes a few hiccups when the game starts but then smooth after that. I want to sell my current card which I am still seeing that its selling for over $200 on ebay and buy a better current card.

Guys - I think Im going to get the 680 GTX SC Sig 2 with the 2 Gigs of Ram. Im noticing that they have some with 4 Gig of ram for $100 more. What is the difference with having more memory. Is it worth the extra $100?
