this one or the $300 more version? is the graphics card that much better in the other one?

DAB, just read your reply, I've been debating the same issue. My plan is for video and photo editing, along with music recording. I think I'll need the extra HD space and the GPU would be handy. I think you just convinced me. But I'm waiting until after August 2010 to see if there are new iMacs being announced.

If you do lots of photo or video editing, it might be worth it to spend the extra $300. Graphics are up to 4x faster with the card.

Unless you are going to use it for games and have a need for more internal storage I'd stick with the base model.

you get a way better gpu , and 500 gb more hd space , but thats not worthed to me

Overall there is no difference with the exception of graphics. However, there isn't much of a difference in graphics. Whatever version you decide to get it will be the same.

i picked mine from this list, make sure its better than onboard Intel graphics if you have that.http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/gaming-graphics-card-review,3107-7.html

NVIDIA GeForce GTX670MX is pretty good. It plays most high end games but some of them you have to turn down to medium. The next faster MSI computer graphics card is about 300.oo more. If you got the cash get the fastest card you can.Dale

The 290 is a powerhouse and is bout 50-60% faster than the 760 FTW, costs $125 more, runs significantly hotter, and consumes almost double the power. But is 50-60% faster.If you already have the 760 FTW, I'd think carefully about whether the upgrade is worth it or not.Source: I own rigs with both 760s (non-FTW) and 290s.

It will take either. Graphics cards are universal. Currently I am running with an amd r9 290

I don't play games but I would go for the GTX cards if I did since those have a lot of game player reviews. I'm actually thinking of switching over to the GTX 950 since this card does seems to be compatible with some of the plugins I use for After Effects.

My honest opinion is if you are spending the amount of money you are for that motherboard I wouldn't cheap out in the video card. I think GeForce video card would be better as it has built in video streaming programming into it for twitch.tv ect but I do not know all of the specs of the new geforces. This video card is pretty good. Modern day mother boards come with pci express slots that are universal to all gpus there isn't any difference to my knowledge from pci express 2.0 and 2.1 other then bickering from amd and nvidia.

The 980 has a few more controls on it than the 970 but the insides are exactly the same. I would just get the cheaper model myself. For the record I have the 980 and am very happy with it. MK

Over all, I would say this card is better in every way, it is super cocked, has more DDR5 ram, 1 more gb. It is priced very well. I bought this card and I have no problem running new games on my PC, on Highest quality, like Tomb Raider, Borderlands 2, in my opinion it`s the better buy.

My driver was a mid-range board at low cost and TWO ports for DVI. I can only compare differing NVIDIA products but "better" is in the eye of the beholder. They both use 2GB worth of GDDR5 memory at 128-bit. The tipping point would be which features on each card are triggered by your favorite game(s).

The integrated video is better and the cache of the processor is larger for more performance I found that the price difference isn't worth the cost unless your a gamer. I have bought two of these for my kids rigs and they play some games too. Just not top end hard core graphics demanding games. These cpu's can also be linked with certain video cards for added performance if ever needed. Hope this helps !

They are both good, you need to see benchmarks for what you are using your videocard for

What's the point??? The GTX660 would be a better board to begin with and it also has dual DVI, so what is it you're trying to accomplish? If you already have the 630, then I would suggest replacing it with the 660.

If you just need good color and WQHD resolution, the GEForce GT 730 is adequate. The GT 730 card is slim profile, low power usage and quiet and supports full resolution. If you are a high frame rate gamer obviously won't meet your needs but ordinary photo editors will be fine with it at $70.

This comes with a built in intel HD 4600 graphics card. It is comparable to the GeForce GT 620m/630m. This is no where close to the quality of an R7.
