Title: GTX 670 vs GTX 295
Post by: Armpit_Sweat on November 18, 2014, 12:54:23 am
Need a last opinion on the subject!

I have 670 installed, and I got a 295 from a co-worker, free of charge cause i am a nice guy and all :) I was exited to begin with, but after googling 670 vs 295, i found out that it's not worth it... In few tests 295 seem to outperform the 670, but overall it's a downgrade, correct?..

So before i return it, will i hear anyone defending GTX 295?

What i have installed:

And the 295 ( and my cat, cause cats add an awesomeness multiplier to any picture ):

Have a look at this.

But I think you already had. It's not that much of a bad card, could be a nice backup.

670 is the better one in my opinion onion, anyday

295 is very good. Install it in your pc and mail me 670 because you don't need it anymore. thx.

I will be wholeheartedly honest about the two major reasons, that are stopping me from fulfilling your wish: I am very lazy, and don't want to connect/disconnect cables, move the table, screw/unscrew, install drivers, etc. And I can't force myself to be bothered with going to the post office, and filling out customs forms and whatnot, all for the same reason - i am lazy as fuck :) 
 
Been called to court this month for not paying few bills, cause i havnt checked my postbox for like 5 weeks. The key was on another key-chain, and the amount of letters sticking out was too intimidating - so i just thought that it will sort itself out somehow, but it didn't  :) True story, that's how lazy i am. And irresponsible, i guess... But there is a good end to that court story - i paid the bills and court/lawyer's expenses, so the "case" should be closed. Did it promptly, since even the idea of going to court exhausts me - what a shameful and boring experience it must be!

EDIT:

And on the topic:

Yes, i have seen that one, along with few other tests... Could never afford anything with *95 at the end, so expected magical powers from it :( Oh well

EDIT2:

Consider that having a card which name ends with 95 is very much swag though.

Exactly!

You can try SLI just for the lulz if your mobo supports it.

Isn't possible to SLI different GPU's, right?..

You can use that 295 as a dedicated gpu for PhysX if your mobo supports it

Not anymore. Although I'm not sure that was possible back when we had 295s

I have a 720W Cooler Master. I literally have a noscope kid PSU.
