LiQuiDsWorDs56Posted 6/6/2012 12:57:12 PM | looking on ebay and i may just buy a used but mint condition card for $400 if the seller agrees. i loved these cards when i had them in sli but when the first one broke was it a sign to move onto something better or replace it?

Snuckie7Posted 6/6/2012 5:54:46 PM | First of all, you should not be getting a 680 at all under your current circumstance. The real question is 670 vs SLI 580. Either get a non reference 670 and sell your working 580, or just go for the deal on ebay. Personally I would get a 670 because used electronics are always a little sketchy.

phoenix009Posted 6/6/2012 5:55:42 PM | 1. Sell current 580 for $400
2. Use the $400 you were planning to spend on replacement 580
3. Get 2 gigabyte windforce 670s
4. ???
5. Profit

5. Profit The EVGA FTW's are arguably a bit better of a choice for SLI though they would cost 40 dollars more than two windforces. --- i5 3570k @4.2 GHz / Asrock Z77 Extreme4 / 8GB G.Skill Sniper 1866 / MSI GTX 560 / Corsair Force GT 120GB / Seagate Barracuda 2TB |
LiQuiDsWorDs56(Topic Creator)Posted 6/6/2012 6:00:16 PM | they keep releasing new versions of the 680 since there was an issue with them. i was going to wait for the evga ftw 4gb version. ive been reading the 670 is basically on par with a 680 and is cheaper but arent the cuda cores lower on the 670? i know $400 isnt chump change but should i buy the 580 and sell both for a future 700 series sli setup?

phoenix009Posted 6/6/2012 6:02:40 PM | If you can get $400 for your 580 then the 670's are an obvious choice as you still spend the same amount of money in the end, have a better set up now, and more resale value later. If you can't get $400 for yours than you shouldn't be paying $400 for someone elses. Also they 670's are new.

60secondAssasinPosted 6/6/2012 6:06:07 PM(edited) | look at what a 480 sells for used (sub $200) and what a 670/680 sells for. you can't sell two 480's and buy a single kepler with that money, let alone an SLI setup. get them 580's off now. and you shouldn't pay $400 for any non wc 580. not when they cost less brand new and both amd and nvidia have faster, more efficient cards for that $400. I really would not count on that.
