Hi !

Is there any BIG difference in performance between these two cards ???

Thank you !

I have only a couple of hours to decide ... please help.
I am gaming at 1920x1200 ....

Yeah, the core 216 is faster. Check out this review

Personally I don't think it's enough of an improvement to justify the added expense.

5-10%

216 is a little faster. May or may not be worth it. For my money, its not as I would run SLI. If a single card, buy the 216. If SLIing get the older one.

Personally I think Nvidia just muddied the waters once again for their own gain.

WTB: Naming scheme that makes sense and less rebadging of old parts by Nvidia.

Zhank you all !!!
Mayibe I am wrong but the new 216 is close to GTX280!

Yes.. that is true.. but on the flip side.. there was never a HUGE difference from the old 260 to the 280

Its just equal to the 4870 now is all

its actually better than the HD4870 now. usually by 5-10 fps.
