GTX 560 ti 2gb performance

[andrews013]

Does anyone own the palit card? I was wondering if I should buy it and overclock. I also havent found any reviews (which is odd) and I wasa wondering how the memory effects performance. Should I just save money and go with the 1 gb card? My resolution is usually 1280x720, 1680x1050 or 1920x1080.

Thanks!

At 1080P and below, generally 1 gb cards are sufficient for most titles (Crysis at max detail/AA/AF settings might be an exception), and the 2gb cards offer no real advantages with current games....

interesting. but, I want my pc to be fairly future proof. Will games use more memory in the future? And I dont think this card could run crysis at max settings with aa.

just get a 6950 2gb and then you can unlock it to a 6970, thats more future proof as they are both faster cards.

Try looking at the 6950 1G and 2G versions in benchmarks.The outcome will likely be the same for the GTX560ti 2G Pailit

I'd prefer a 2gb card myself, but, most benchmarks suggest a 1gb card is 'enough' for now even at 1080P...; for the most taxing games, odds are you are not using AA/AF anyway. (I personally never bothered with AA/AF, as I never stare at fences or wall edges looking for jaggies)

The 6950(2gb) when on sale with a rebate (as low as $230-ish overall) is about the best deal out there, IMO....

A PC is not future proof... My advice for now is going with two 6850 in CF or two GTX 460 in SLI.

You will max everything at 1080p.

For a single card, a 6950 is the best deal like mdd is saying.
