Hi guys. You've probably seen me asking a lot of questions and I'm back for more. :)

Firstly, I'm planning on buying either a Powercolor HD6950 or a GTX650 Ti.

I know that between the two the HD6950 is the sure winner. But I'm kind of worried about the AMD card since it doesn't support Physx (My current card is nvidia).

I know that you can run Physx on your CPU, but will it run good for mine? (My CPU is Intel i5-2400 3.1 Ghz

Second, should I be worried if the HD6950 is already 4 years old?

Oh and these two cards are the only ones I can afford which peaks at performance for my budget.

Thanks in advance to those who answer!

Both are old cards so I'd worry about which one is more powerful than the age. Physx is not supported in every game, actually not supported in most games. You have to look at what games you play and if physx is really even something you care about.

Nah man I'm form the Philippines. i doubt you'll find good prices for me from where you are. XD honestly, I'm more worried about the age of the HD6950. Don't you think it's gonna become... outdated and obsolete?

Yes but it's 8000 pesos here whereas the HD6950 is 6600 pesos. That's like a difference of $70 (since dollar is more xpensive. I really cant spend much more than the HD6950 since I will also be buying a thermaltake 600W PSU to go with the card and the PSU already costs me about $100.
