Peeps,

Dia napud ko ha. ask napud ko ug inputs ninyo.

Kun kamo ang pa pili-on, which single GPU would you buy, a 1 GB, 2 GB or a 4 GB system and why?

By the way, the GPUs would be GTX 670 and 680...


Salamat...



wla ko'y nabuhat dri ron dah. sige lang ko basa2x... hehehe...

[jeremyrenner25]

even 1gb for game is more than enough, since wala my 1gb ang 670, 2gb 670 sak2 na kaau..

[lloyd_joy]

noted bro... thanks

peeps, keep your comments coming... sa mga hanep mo games, 1 GB is not enough man pud kay grabeh ang loading sa textures ug uban pa... pero, for an average gamer, a 1 GB is acceptable gyud... ako, wala gyud ko experience aning pag mods sa games... ask ko ug mga inputs para daghan ko'g basis sa decision making. swak man ni sila sa akoang budget na 25k php equivalent... so far, mao ni akoang nakuha dri na prices in php equivalent...

> EVGA GTX 560 TI 2WIN (2GB): around 15k php
> UNIKA & Yeston GTX 670 (2GB reference design... core freq/mem freq: 915Mhz/6008 Mhz): around 16.8k php
> ASL GTX 670 (2GB reference design... core freq/mem freq: 993Mhz/6008 Mhz): around 16.8k php
> Galaxy GTX 670 OC (4GB): around 22.1k php
> Inno3D GTX 670 iChill OC (2GB): around 17.5k php
> Inno3D GTX 670 iChill OC (4GB): around 22.1k php
> Inno3D GTX 680 iChill OC (4GB): around 24k php

@25K range, can't get GTX 680?

and if you plan to watercool later, reference versions are better.

here in shanghai, some GTX 680 models are priced below 25k on some online shops.

got no plans for water cooling... to expensive for me. i had aborted that plan... hope it will not haunt me back... hehehe...

thanks bro...

[ren]

Oo, no need watercooling na diha kay bugnaw man

Get decent brands like Asus, Gigabyte, MSI, EVGA... i think di kaayo kulba na maguba dayon

[lloyd_joy]

hehehe... mao gyud bro... ok ra ang review sa Inno3D iChill Herculez 3000 models sa net then barato ra ang price ani nila... naka factory OC na ni sila pud...

ang Asus, maka yayay gyud ni na brand sya... sakit2x dri ang presyo nya apil ang MSI lightning...


by the way, nag duwa ko's BF3 using my old and trusted GPU (EVGA 9600GT), so far, ok ra sya... low setting lang gyud... single player pa man pud hinoon. kun mag sugod na'g yabag ug duwa ani, dili na ta ganahan sa current graphics sa game...

1gb is enough but not more than enough. Para sa mga lesser games siguro pareha anang mga Hon-hon or kanang mga lol-lol/ rf-rf or kung unsa pa man na nga mga small games, sobra pa ang 1 gb. Kanang mga EA games like NBA or Activision like COD, ok pa kaayo ng 1gb.

I used to think that 768mb is enough. Even chose to sli my 8800gtx over a gtx260 just for crysis. True enough it can handle the game @ 1680x1050.. GTAIV came, payter gihapon but if you max out the Depth of Field (or Field of View, cant remember), the 768mb chokes. There is a very detailed in-game benchmark in GTAIV that even tells you how much vram is in use. So theres the story of how lapu-lapu killed magellan.. Hehehe..

Bitaw, 2gb is perfect for now and in 2years or so. 4gb is currently an overkill but is futureproofing in the right direction..

[keropi]

Oh, and id get an IChill 2gb 670. 10% performance handicap but $100 advantage over a 680..

[lloyd_joy]

well said bro keropi... as of the moment, bling2x ra ang 4GB for a single monitor (27") and 1080P resolution... like sa akoang gamit... hehehehe... abort na lang gyud ko's plano atong EVGA GTX 560 Ti WIN for the GTX 670 iChill (2GB)... maka save pa ko'g dako...

sakto gyud, a 4GB system is an overkill... pero, inig after 2 yrs or so, mang luma naman ning kepler... need napud ta'g upgrade if ang newer and nice games mag need ug more powerful GPU.

thanks kaayo bro.
