hello,

I want to upgrade my graphics card and I need to make a decision between this two models:

ASUS GeForce GTX 560 Ti DirectCU II 1GB DDR5 256-bit
CUDA Cores 384
Graphics Clock (MHz) 830 MHz
Processor Clock (MHz) 1660 MHz
Standard Memory Config 1024 MB GDDR5

and

Leadtek WinFast GeForce GTX 560 2GB DDR5 256-bit
CUDA Cores 336
Graphics Clock (MHz) 810 MHz
Processor Clock (MHz) 1620 MHz
Standard Memory Config 2048 MB GDDR5

Which do you think that is more powerful? 384 Cores for Asus or +1GB Memory for Leadtek? I intend to use my new graphics card for some games, but not specially for the latest games released.

Thank You.

Best Regards.

Performance wise. There isn't a huge difference between the two. They are fairly similar. I always felt the biggest drawback to the GTX 560 was the VRAM or lack thereof. There were plenty of games where the only 1GB of VRAM hindered the full potential of the GPU. In my own use I found I was hitting a VRAM limit before a performance limit was reached.

As I had a GTX 560 1GB, I built a computer for a family member with a 560 Ti 1GB shortly after. While I had the GPU. I did try swapping between the two while gaming. I could not tell the difference. This was several years ago.

So if I was looking for a cheap old card. I would take a GTX 560 2GB over a 560 Ti 1GB. Looking at used prices though. Why not go for a GTX 660 2GB?

I never search for gtx 660 because I don't know if he will run properly on my Asus P5W DH Deluxe motherboard. I'll make some researchers to find more information for minimum requirements for gtx 660. Thanks for you reply ;)

All that it requires is a motherboard with a PCI-e x16 slot, sufficient cooling, PSU with enough power and the right connectors and a large enough case.

If you can run a GTX 560. You can run pretty much any video card made between 2005 and today. With the exception of a few power hogs or crappy regular PCI models. Which just need more power and better cooling. If you can run a GTX 560 Ti you can run a GTX 660, 760, 960, and 1060. Most likely you can also run any other nVidia GPU. Perhaps some of the extremely power hungry AMD models would be out. Like the Radeon HD 7990 XT.

My thinking on this is it depends on whether you plan to game in ways that leverage the extra memory. Higher resolution, 1080p instead of 720p, favors the 2gb. Higher settings, like texture settings, favor the 2gb. The catch is that to be playable at 1080p and higher settings the card still has to be fast enough for the game.

If you're planning to play newer games that need the fastest possible processing, then you'd be better off with the Ti , but playing at lower resolution and settings.

As you mention, I will use an 1080p display; so maybe the good choice is to take that 2Gb graphics card; I am thinking for an OC for the card. Did You know that is it possible? Some cards with same graphic processor runs at higher frequency; I see an Asus that runs out of the box at 900 Mhz instead 810 Mhz and for processor clock the frequency was bigger too 1800 Mhz vs 1660 Mhz. What I need to know if I try to make an OC for this card?
