    Only the 650ti and the 760. I'm not sure how much better that 650ti is compared to your card as it doesn't seem to have an actual make ie Asus or msi. That 760 would be a massive upgrade compared to what you have, but like I said I'm not that knowledgeable on low end cards. If you want a big upgrade then the 760 is your best bet. The only thing you can do is keep reading reviews as that's the only proper way you can work out if the price is worth the upgrade you want. I always read reviews from guru3d.com as they do charts comparing it to other cards.
    Might just keep the 6670 for the time being as it can still playing those other games fairly well, also looking at upgrading the M/B and ram so might do some research into that. I have that website saved and will use it to compared different components :)

    Well those games don't need much power so a 6-750ti or 760 would be fine ;)
    Checked out the 740 on Nvidias site and he got rated the lowest so won't bother bout the 740s, currently checking other manufacturers.
    Yea I'm not surprised as its not a card for gaming, neither is a 750. The ti version is but only for low res really. 760 and above is what you'd really want to play games at 1080p. I'm not sure what AMD cards are like but they're normally cheaper, I haven't had one since owning a 6950.
    I've forced myself to stop upgrading my GPU so much as I was pretty much buying one yearly lol. I do game at a very high res though (2560x1440p) but I'm hoping my 780 will last atleast another year/year & half. I've stopped caring too much about the very best graphics as gaming at 1440p compared to 1080p is amazing and so clear.
    Are any of those cards i listed better than the 6670?

    Well then I'd advise getting no less than a 760, although it does depend on the games you play. New games are going to hit gpu's hard due to new consoles. I think reviews are out today for Nvidia's 900 sereis cards (800 was skipped) although I think it's only 970 & 980s with lower cards coming later, so you might find the 700 series prices going down. I suspect people will sell their 760 upto 780s so you might find a good deal if you wait a bit which would also give you more time to save ;)
    Ok thanks gonna have a look around again next week.

    Edit: I'll be doing most of my gaming on the PS4 haven't gamed on the PC for a while but when i do its mainly Race07, LFD2 and HL2 etc so looking at a mid entry card?

    It would be nice if you could get that 760 for around that price as it would be a steal! Like I said about the x50 the 740 isn't a gaming card,  it's meant for watching high def movies so I wouldn't touch them. If you think the 650ti is enough for you then get it, but if you could get that or any 760 it would blow your socks off compared to what you have. What res do you play your games at or are hoping to? If it's 1080p I'd strongly recommend no less than a 760.
    Yeah 1080

    @RevolvingPrawn Not sure we'll ever be able to do raids, seeing as it takes 10 hours! Lol :o  

    unless you try and do one over a Bank Holiday weekend or something.
    You can leave and come back, but it has to be done in a week. You also have to find 5 friends to play it, as there's no matchmaking. You all need to use mics as it has puzzles and requires team work. Seems to only be geared to hardcore players. I'm up for a challenge but this seems insane. The first people to complete it according to that link died over 1000 times! Lol
    And you all need to be at level 26 or above, be on at the same time and you all want to do it.

    I'm near level 21 now, but as you said I can't see him getting to level 26 by the weekend as it'll take a long time.
    Guess you have been playing crucible?
    Nope just been doing parol missions and completing bounties  ;)
    I'm just wondering around earth looking for loot lol
    You should do bounties all the time if you can as they are worth doing when levelling up.
    My bounty slots are full up, got 3 crucible and 2 vanguard. one vanguard is kill a boss in one of the stike missions and the other kill two aliens with one shot twenty times. Also got a light item which leveled me to 21.

  9. Right now Codemasters are looking like yesterdays chip shop paper.  If the only thing they have due out this year is the 'business as usual' F1 2014, I don't see that feeling changing any time soon.  Just no buzz like there used to be.  They're probably as keen to give news out as we are, but it doesn't seem like it from where we're sat.  We all want to feel excited again about an up and coming title.
    They have been talking about Rallycross lately so maybe a hint that RX is in the next rally game?

    No problem. You may still want to read a bunch of reviews as some say the 750ti isn't that much better than a 650ti. I'm not great on lower end cards as I've only ever looked at high end gpu's. It'll depend on what version you get. I've seen 760s at around the price of 750ti, either way it should be a good upgrade over a 6670. 
    Yeah been checking the reviews between the 750 and 650, the 750 is the better of the two.

    For that price it's pretty good and if that's the max you want to spend then go for it bud, but if it was me I'd spend a bit longer saving up to buy a 750ti, but a 650ti is still a good card vs a 6670 ;)
    I'd be able to afford the 750ti on Monday so i'll wait to then :) thanks for the help.
