    I have a 675mx and it has been serving me quite well. However, most of the games I am playing now are between 1-3 years old. I tend to buy games on sale and go through them when I have the time. As of right now, the most demanding game i play on a semi-regular basis is Metro 2033. While this game was released in 2011, it still requires a beefy GPU. As of Nvidias last update this week, I am now able to play with everything on Ultra at full HD and am able to get a solid 30fps (prior to this last update, i would get 24-26fps, still playable in my opinion)

    I do planning on upgrading to the 680 (or the new 780, if it is compatible), but the more I use this card, the less I feel the need to upgrade. Also, I believe BF3 was also fairly CPU intensive, and I imagine BF4 will be so as well.

    I wouldn't count on the 675mx being capable of running BF4 on ultra/max settings, but it should still run it well enough. We'll have to wait to see what the system requirements are when they are leaked.
