May 1st 2012, 07:29 VegetaCreeper Should I get... gtx 680, 7970, Macbook Pro, Ipad 3, or Asus Transformer Prime? 6 hrs. ago ( permalink) I have got some serious issues... I buy and sell stuff like crazy. I think I might have the same genetic code as EliteGeek 91 Anyway... I have got $700.00 to spend. I don't know if I should get a Macbook pro (save a few more bucks first of course), Ipad3, Asus Transformer Prime (with docking station keyboard), Wait for gtx 680 4 gb FTW model, etc...

Re:Should I get... gtx 680, 7970, Macbook Pro, Ipad 3, or Asus Transformer Prime? 5 hrs. ago ( permalink) I would get the TF. I have the first model and I know a ton of people who have the Prime. They are awesome! I believe there is plans to release one with a 1080p screen sometime, might be worth waiting for that.

Re:Should I get... gtx 680, 7970, Macbook Pro, Ipad 3, or Asus Transformer Prime? 5 hrs. ago ( permalink) My initial thoughts. - GTX 680 = Yes - 7970 = Not much of a point for most games, GTX 680 performed slightly better in reviews with lower TDP, plus I really like NVIDIA's driver settings / NVIDIA Inspector settings. - Macbook Pro = The only good mac is a Big Mac - iPad 3 = lol - ASUS Transformer Prime = What the heck is this?

Dual GPU cards aren't the way to go for gaming in my opinion, and in the future nobody will want a used one except for folders.  Games Forcast: 2007 great, 2008 good, 2009 bad, 2010 good, 2011 bad, 2012 looking great franbunnyffxii

I wouldn't go MSI though, even Asus has better support then them. I'm partial to sapphire on the AMD side though. direraptor22

boomerman18 Re:Should I get... gtx 680, 7970, Macbook Pro, Ipad 3, or Asus Transformer Prime? 50 mins. ago ( permalink) I have heard msi has a semi decent non lifetime warranty. At least they have great coolers within the twin series. If I decide to go ati for my next gpu msi is what I be grabbing. Skip the Ipad and macbook. Also skip the Asus transformer prime. The 6970 and gtx 680 are both great cards. Since you said you cant max some of your games, I would grab a better gpu. But its up to you in the end.
