Hi Guys,

I need some help on choosing what card should I get to replace my beloved GTS 250. I'm leaning on this two cards (because I am such a Nvidia lover, dunno why) GTX 560 ti and GTX 650 ti. I did some research about those two cards and some people say choose 560 ti because it outperform 650 ti, but some people say get the 650 ti because it is a newer card and etc. I'd also like to know if my procie will bottleneck those two cards.

my specs:
Processor: Intel Core i5 2400 @ 3.1Ghz (stock cooling)
Mobo: ASRock H61M-VS3
RAM: Kingston 1x4GB DDR3 1333Mhz (low profile)
HDD: 500GB WD Caviar Black
PSU: Cooler Master eXtreme power 500w (dunno if my PSU can handle the new cards)

Thanks in advance for your help!

not in every sense though, like gtx 560ti has more render output processors, wider memory bus, higher memory bandwidth and more texture mapping units but in rest specs you can see gtx 750ti is based new gen gpu processor, has better core speed, memory speed, more vram, based on 11.2 DirectX.
But i would say it's worth getting GTX 750ti over previous gen equivalent gpu as you will see high boost in performance than from previous gen. You can get that Palit and don't have to...

dude, I swear I was going to recommend the same thing. I am running a 650 ti, and the 750 ti which just came out is incredible in performance as well as a very VERY low power consumption card. and you can get it for under 150 bucks from newegg.

I just ordered mine, and can't wait to pop it in. From what I've read, its about a 45-50% jump in performance from the 650ti to the 750ti.

Oh, and your PSU is fine Watts wise, but I'd recomment popping a corsair in there, you could get a bronze certified 430W for under 20 bucks, and it definitely will never harm your system. And it will run your system just fine. Why don't u pop another 4gb of ram in there, one of the best things you could do to that system other than your GPU.

so is GTX 750 ti better than 560 ti? Since I don't live in the US, I can only get Palit GTX 750 ti StormX OC 2G GDDR5, that's the only available 750 ti near our area. BTW my budget for a new card is $150-180 only. I don't know if I'll be able to afford the 750.

You can get that Palit and don't have to worry about anything as they all are based same gpu chip that Nvidia has released with reference 750ti. Go for it.
