1272943 2012-04-30 22:24:00 Meh it'll cost a fortune and unless you run multiple monitors I doubt you even need the 680 to max out anything.
I have a GTX580 in one machine and an AMD HD6770 in the other, huge difference in cost, small difference in 1080P gaming on a single monitor in practice. Sure you have to back off a setting or two to get the 6770 to play smoothly on a few games but honestly it doesn't look all that much different and the games are just as fun to play.

I think for people like me who are happy with 1080P gaming all the high end cards really offer is a longer useful lifespan and slightly better image quality, I'm unlikely to buy a 6 series card unless things change radically between now and the next series coming out. You can basically run with mid to mid-high level cards and replace them semi-regularly or get a high end card and stick with it for maybe an extra year or more.
