Would I be bottlenecking my system if I got a GTX 680 to go along with my AMD FX 4100 Quad Core @ 3.60 GhZ? I also have 8 GB RAM, and a GTX 560 TI GPU ATM. With a 850W PSUThe bulldozer CPUs don't perform well with games, but it still wouldn't be the worst. If you wanted to upgrade you would want a 8320 or 6300.
And don't get a 680, you would get a much better price:performance ratio out of a 7970 or a 670 FTW. But the 7970 outperforms even the 680 and it's $400.
For somebody planing a video-editing workstation (I plan on doing highly advanced 3D visual effects in college since that's what I'm studying) is the extra price worth it? Keep in mind I got an i7-3770k for only about $130 so I have an extra $200 I can use or just save.The extra price for what, the 680 over the 670 or 7970? No. If you're doing CUDA work the 670 will be perfect.
Sorry. I meant over the 660ti or the 670 FTW.Oh, then yes. The 660ti has a pretty small memory bus for the power it offers, so I'd recommend the 670 over it if you have the money for it. If you were spending $300 on a video card you would want the 7950 anyway.
