So between selling my old card and the free metro last light that comes with some Nvidea 600 series cards, I figured I could get a pretty good deal on an upgrade. I was originally looking to get a 660ti, but its performance gain over the 660 is minimal, especially considering the 100 dollar price gap. The 660 is ~200 dollars. I figure I can sell my 560ti for at least 100 bucks, and free metro is worth 50, so thats not a bad deal.
I noticed something though:
My current card is an EVGA GTX 560ti: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130604
I'm looking at an EVGA GTX 660: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...82E16814130825
The (E: some of) 600 series cards only have 192-bit memory, while my older 560ti has 256. I googled around, and I can't find a reason for this. Does anybody know why they do that? The posts I've seen online say this memory bandwidth restriction makes the card not worth it.
I value performance over graphics. I will put everything on low to achieve 60fps if I have to. I don't want to do that with Last Light though, and for the price I could get a newer card at, I'm really on the fence about what to do here. Input anybody?
