Lately I've wanted to upgrade to a DirectX 11 card. Also, some games (DIABLO 3 I AM LOOKING AT YOU) seem to disagree with the card, possibly because it's a dual GPU card.

So I've been looking at upgrading to a GeForce GTX 680. However the only places that have them in stock are places that are charging more than I'd like to pay for them. The places with good pricing are constantly out of stock.

I could go with a GeForce GTX 670 now that they're out (And $100 cheaper), but part of me dislikes the thought of going with a lower quality card when I could get a more powerful one.

I have a personal dislike of ATI so I don't really want to look into those. I just can't decide! Wait for a 680 to become available, or get the 670 now?

Avoid buying from Newegg for vid cards. From what I've seen I can go to BestBuy in most cases and get the card for cheaper. The rest of their prices are usually pretty good, but their vid card prices are crap.

The last time I can remember buying an "absolute top end" vid card was when I bought my Voodoo1 card. The Voodoo2 I bought was the 8mb instead of the 12mb and every card since then has been a step or so off of the absolute top end card. The performance difference hasn't been demonstrably worth the extra cash for me. There's also the "performance tweaked" cards that are comparable to the top end card at a slightly lesser price to consider as well....

Anyway, my GTX 570 SC still handles everything I throw at it, but I only run one monitor.

Doesn't look like Best Buy or TigerDirect has them in stock, and Newegg is sold out... time to continue playing the waiting game....
