Ok so I built a computer a few months ago. For my graphics card I got a GTX550TI, its ok for a medium priced card. In a few weeks I will have enough money to buy a GTX670. Anyway I was wondering what you guys thought of this card and how much of a step up (In graphics) it would be from the GTX550ti to the GTX670.
Don't get the 670. Get the 580. It's a lot cheaper and is almost as good as the 670. You literally won't see a difference between the 2 besides the price.
Just trying to help you save your money.
:)Well, the one you linked is from a cheapie manufacturer, but comparing prices between the two with a big-name manufacturer, you'll find that the 670 is usually quite a bit cheaper than the 580, with quite a bit more performance.
For an example, I'll use EVGA. They're right up there in terms of quality, and often a gamer's choice when it comes to Nvidia cards.
Here are EVGA's base models of both cards:
