GTX 560

[Stanna-11]

Hi guys again, after some negative comments about buying a GTX 550 and have painfully decided to pump in a bit extra dosh to go with a GTX 560, so here we go again can you advise on which card I should go for, needs to be a decent price and great peformance

The rest of my the build is:

Asus M5A97 PRO AM3+ AMD 970 + SB950 DDR3 ATX
AMD Phenom II X4 955
Corsair Vengeance 8GB (2x4GB) DDR3 1600MHz
OCZ Fatal1ty Series 550W Modular PSU (not puchased yet just for the fact I may need more powerfull one depending on GPU

Thanks

Yeah a Geforce GTX 560Ti is a good performer, but a Radeon HD 6950 1GB is a better value for money card ...

In the $200 and up segment, the factory OC'd 560 Ti's offer the lowest cost per frame both in SLI (50 cents per frame) and as a single card (43 cents per frame)

Guru3D uses the following games in their test suite, COD-MW, Bad Company 2, Dirt 2, Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Warhead. Total fps (summing fps in each game @ 1920 x 1200) for the various options in parenthesis (single card / SL or CF) are tabulated below along with their cost in dollars per frame single card - CF or SLI:

$ 210.00 6950 (479/751) $ 0.44 - $ 0.56
$ 240.00 6950 Frozr OC (484/759) $ 0.50 - $ 0.63

As for which one, I have had great success with the Asus model getting all 8 that I have installed to 1000 MHz.

dude gtx 550ti is for low budget or ati 6790 in that price is better then gtx 550ti but as you have decided to invest more then go for gtx 560ti it is very awesome card you will be able to play all games on max out settings and plus you will get physx but if you buy ati you pay so much and no physx thats not cool
