Sell your 560 ti and add that to your budget. probably R9 280 would fit the newer budget.

I seriously doubt that a used 560ti would sell for 6k.....

No point in buying a 10k card now when you already own a decent card 560Ti

i saw a 560 being sold for 6k lol
also i got a 560Ti for 4k :p
560Ti can be sold for 6k (including shiping)without any problem and as i guess, [MENTION=232182]2kool2btrue[/MENTION] was looking for a 560Ti. Contact him!

Also 750Ti is a good card! The recommended for GTA V is 660, and 750Ti can sure pull off GTA V at high

You have a 560Ti? Why would you invest and get a 660 dude!

Either wait, or increase your budget, get something where you will actually notice a noticeable difference.

All Maxwell cards have DX12 Support. Guess I was wrong on the GTX 660 NOT supporting DX12.

Found this...

Microsoft Announces DirectX 12 at GDC

Even though GTX 660 was a good card at its time and will support the said API, there is absolutley no reason to buy it when there are far better and latest-gen cards available with a little to no more money. YES the R9-270 performs slightly better than GTX 660, has more B/w , pixel and texel rate, so yes theoritically faster...also game benchmarks agrees to it.

The MSI one has the exact same clock speed but lesser warranty, you made the right choice by going for the Zotac one..
AFAIK, aditya infotech handles zotac RMA.. get it registered upon recieving

You think MSI would be a better option??!!

Absolutely mate. MSI/Asus/EVGA/Gigabyte are tier 1 in my opinion. I honestly don't trust a brand which is Sapphire's sister company. This doesn't mean a Zotac will give you problems in long run and an MSI won't, but I personally won't ever touch these popping up brands, sorry no.
