Graphics 670 v 580

Ok, so the pricing is about the same depending on company, so for high demand games which is better on a 2560x1440 resolution. A 2GB 670, or a 1.5GB 580.

Thanks for any input

 

unless you are buying 2nd hand where 580 can be had for just over £200, go for 670 without a doubt.

 

Thanks, stupid question though I suppose really.

I like the first link, Kronos. Beside Wattage, the other stats mean absolutely nothing.
670 looses everywhere, yet it more powerful than the 580.

 

670 is faster in games worse in cuda simple enough

 

For gaming? 670 without a doubt.

clicky

Much lower power consumption too.

 

Never backwards always forward. 670 for sure
