gtx 670 purchase - last few questions
Thanks for all the info guys, this thread is the best. I'm pretty up to date on most of the gtx 670 info, and as my 8800 gt on my 2008 macpro is dying on me it's time to upgrade. couple last questions:
what's this about the pci-e slot only working at 1x speed in MacOS AND windows?? I saw in another posting that the newest nvidia drivers fixed this on mac, I assumed it would work at 2x speed at default in windows anyway?
I'm using the card primarily for Final cut pro editing, and gaming in mac/windows. I've heard a little about issues with fcp, anything major? Should I consider the 570 instead? I'm trying to futureproof a little and like the 670 more as the price is pretty similar, but dont want any headaches. I'm going to be upgrading from snow leopard to mountain lion as it is, just want to keep everything running smooth..
finally, the cost. the gtx 670 is about $400, I saw at best buy and tekserve today some cheap options at $250 and below (gtx 560ti, radeon 5770), are those decent options? I like being able to play new games at super settings but just have a 1920x1080 monitor and I play ps3 on my big tv most of the time.. My heart is leaning towards the 670, wallet definitely not haha..
thanks for the input guys, appreciate it
