New computer

[A-ray]

Good evening,


Im going to buy a new computer next week, im going to build him myself, but I'm not sure yet which videocard I should Buy,
It has to play the newest games on ultra/maxed settings!

I was thinking about the GTX 660 TI or GTX 680!?

Who can help me out, since I dont know much about the videocards!

Thanks in advance,

GTX680, its quite nice or go dual SLI GTX680 xD.

I'm thinking to buy first one 680 GTX, then maybe later again one of it, depends how it is.
You guys maybe knows how many clients I can open to bot with this kind of computer?

Intel core7 3370k
16gb
680gtx
1000W
256Gb SSD

I'll need a new monitor aswell, but that i'm going to buy the month after.

dozens of clients...

If you set the framerates to low you can literally have a hundred open on a 500 dollar pc. Tibia is not cpu intensive.

That looks like a sweet setup, not going to lie. I'm currently on the GTX 570 if I'm not mistaken and I'm thinking about upgrading to the 6xx series. But I kinda want to wait until march to see what the GTX 7xx series have to offer and what the prices will land on.

GTX 680 should handle the latest games on high quality without issues 'cause my GTX 570 can handle most of the newest games on highest quality (almost all of them).

Thanks, I bought the Antec 1100 case, since I had first choisen the Thermaltlake v3 black edition, but I asked the store if I got enough space to build it with a water cooler, they said I had to pick out another one! so my choice came out on the Antec 1100.


Btw, Whats better, playing games on the computer or my ps3 with my 3d television?
I heard PC has to be better cause of the Graphics, but I gotta buy later a better monitor, but first my desktop.

Thanks for your comments guys, wish you all a goodday.

I have the GTX 670 and I love it. 1080p@60fps on Crysis 2 on max settings. Never had to OC. Haven't tested how many clients it will run, 100@10fps possibly. Make sure you limit tibia's fps <= 60. No point for it to be any higher, and if you don't it'll go in to 1k+

Thats sick, Yeah, i got now only a pentium 4 processor, with some AVG standard adapter in it. can barely open 2 clients haha, with third one open, and I start my Firefox, it start all lagging as hell.

We going to build him upcomming saturday, on my birthday, with my cousin, since I never build any computer yet. It prob going to take the whole day.

I'm on a GTX460, AMD Athlon X4 640, 4gb RAM and I can run at least 7 clients at once.
Parts were cheap and I only use the computer to play tibia, browse web, record from hdpvr and edit.

You can't really compare a PC with Xbox/PS3 graphics wise. With your new setup I'll say the gaming will be much smoother on your PC.

Yeah that could be right, I gotta buy another monitor first then aswell, since I dont have any decent one haha, but i can wait for 1 month for it.

guys im off, gotta wake up at 05:30, so everyone a good night and sleepwell!

i haven't a video card on my bot pc and im thinking on buying one aswell. Do you think it will change the thing so much? Running some 6-7 clients on a phenom II x2 555 with 2 gb ram no video card.

I dunno if it will make a big change if i buy a card
