Well, Santa arrived early....let's hope my new card will run CloD super-smooth ;)
 

I considered the 680, but when looking at the price compared to the 670 (4Gb) I just couldn't resist the 670.

Tomorrow I am cleaning the system, dropping in an SSD and this baby and going for an OC to 3.8Ghz on the Cpu....the times they are a changin!

Cheers, MP

I have a 580 with 4gb ram, would it make a big difference to get a 680? - Or 670? - What's the difference between those two btw?

My specs:
Intel Core i7 CPU 920 @ 2.67GHz
Memory (RAM) 6.00 GB
Graphics NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
SSD

Get a faster CPU would be my advice.

Nice, I have some interest in that 4GB card too, keep us posted... :)

I hope you are not flying online on the red side. With this hardware even your plane will fly faster! ;)

Congrats!

Looking forward to hear what these 4Gb bring!

I think your gpu is pretty o.k.?:confused:

GZ, mystic for my new gpu!!! It stood on my christmas list....!!!!!:grin:

Does that mean we'll hopefully see one of your movies done with CoD? Always liked your work, MP.

As an aside, I'd be interested in how this new card affects your editing. I'm looking to rebuild a new PC before X-Mas and I edit with Avid Media Composer. I could use a better system at this time for rendering effects, and compiling HD video image files/discs. I have a few nice ideas that I'd like to do with RoF and CoD, but having a less than adequate system crimps the creativity.

whats a good cpu to get?

I am very content with mine, see my sig.

Nothing more than GTX 670 2GB

+1 ihave the same one. I am running the cpu with stock speed, and it's ok for Il-2 cod. Good thing: you can overclock the cpu very easy up to 4 mhz and just need to buy an quality fan for cooling. With a water cooled system you can screw it up to 5 ghz.

When i am going to try this ( with a bigger gpu card,right now it fits together quite well), i'll write down my experience. I can recommend my board aswell. You can go sli and its very easy to overclock (i gave it a try, but didn't dare to leave it like this...:rolleyes:) aaaaand the price is good.
I have the z68 asrock 3 gen.

:(

Well the extra 2Gb came at a price of £25 more than the 2Gb version....so no reason not to have the headroom.

I realise on a dual card the Memory would be split 2GBx2GB for each processor.....but as I only have a single card I thought it'd be nice to have the headroom available ;)

It's a step up from my previous card which only had 1GB memory onboard....but worked brilliantly in everything (bar CloD!).

Just a few clips of video to render.....and then I'm going in ;)

Congrats. :) It's always fun to play with new hardware.:grin: you should see a solid improvement going from one gig of video memory to four gigs. CLOD doesn't like less then 1.5GB.
I wish you luck with the overclocking. Just be more careful than I was.:). I had the 2600k running smooth at 4.5GHz for a year and a half and one morning when I started the computer, it just told me to pi$$ off. After a solid inspection I saw the one inch whole it burned into the motherboard.:lol: . The cpu was fried as well of course. I got myself a new Asus Sabertooth Z77 and a new i7 3770k and got it running again. Now I'll be a bit more conservative with the overclocking. :lol:

What fps are you getting?

OC that CPU...it's got lots of life left in it.
I wouldn't upgrade the GPU yet, wait for next gen unless your rich ... If you are upgrade everything who gives a shit
