XFX HD-687A-ZDFC http://xfxforce.com/es/products/gr [...] /6870.aspx (non black edition)


VS


PNY VCGGTX560X-PB http://www3.pny.com/GTX-560-1024MB-PCIe-P3005C451.aspx

someone plz? The xfx is the dual fan non black edition, and the pny is non ti and its like 30 dlls cheaper also OC is important

Close call, the performance is about the same. The 560 overclocks better but even then it is about the same as a oc'd 6870. 560 has PhysX if you like that. Amd has better colors i think, nvidea does better with bling bling like metal shine ( can't come up with the right word fot that ) on cannons.
So if i were you and if your sure your system can handle these cards i would save just that 40 or 50 dollars more and get the 560 TI.

my pc specs are:

e7400 OC @3.5Ghz
Hyper 212 extreme
HAF 912 Case
4 Gb Ram DDR2
psu: CoolerMaster Silent Pro 700W
Windows Vista x64 Home
Samsung Full HD Screen 1920x1080p (game res.)

PSU is so fine and so great, but there's a one little problem... you might be bottlenecked by the CPU if you play at 1080P, i guess you should buy a second hand intel C2Q and you should be fine

ive read that at higher res the less bottleneck so... i dont know why r u saying that 1080p its ok... and have seen many 6850, 6870 with my cpu.... maybe it wont be bottlenecking that much... ur thread is about a gtx 560 ti... im talking about gtx 560 non ti... much less powered...

Here you go, let me see if you can see the images

note that the version i have is
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Prod [...] 6814127593

its factory OC'ed but as you can see it can go higher...hope it helps

Dunno bud...got it about a year and a half ago, almost 2 i believe...

Honestly im sure having my CPU and Ram in stock is holding me back, but I currently have stock heatsink on CPU...gonna overclock it once I get some better cooling for it...

As it is, the card performs like I expected...

you are welcome...like i said, if you can get it around the price i did, its a great buy...if you can only find it in your area for over 200, check to see how much more the ti is. If its not much, go for the ti otherwise the non ti is a great card

will give it a try but unfortunately cant right now, gotta look through my work emails and such to finish something up...will try later though

the lower, the best so thx again =)

no, i havent.... i OC mine with BSEL mod... cuz of my mobo (dell oem) but i have been doing some tests and its really good... and stable... 68° C max doing intel burn test but when i play games can barely reach 48 - 50 ° C with an Hyper 212 plus from cooler master...
