    Posted: 24 Sep 2012 at 4:28pm
I wanted a replacement for my laptop because of the huge performance difference. I'm trying to run BF3/Skyrim/COD at highest settings with good FPS, and I looked at Digital Storm for help. On a decision between the Epoch and Dreadnought chassis, I picked the Epoch because it was less expensive. I hope it works out, and the reviews for DS seem great! The shipping is also excellent too! I purchased the new PC on 09/22, and it has already reached Stage 5 today. The customer support is friendly, also. I called support and asked about the delivery date, and they gave me an estimate hassle-free.

Personally I have not looked at the specs for the 660ti but if gaming on ultra settings in the games that you listed is your goal with good fps then I think this is lacking

There are good reviews out there, and the benchmark says it is capable. You should do a bit research!

Hi scriptingsoul,
 
Here is a resource where you can compare different cards side by side.  I have it set to compare the GTX 660ti to the GTX 680, but you can put any 2 cards in there.
 
All evil comes from within,
Not from Without,
Therefore, the 1st step on the Holy Warrior path,
Is to recognize thyself as thy 1st enemy.
