[coolmarquis97]

I'm looking for two suggestions. Suggest to me The BEST graphics card if my budget was $400 and Suggest to me The BEST graphics card if my budget was $300


Thanks Guys

By The Way guys, I already have a 550 TI

for 400 you can get the Geforce GTX 670 and for 300 you can get the gtx 560 ti 448 cores

 

[mswezey]

For $400 - go with the 670 ( getting mine this wednesday!)

and $300 the 560 TI


Then later on you can buy another one to SLI together.


480 is older tech. i wouldn't invest in it

 

[serginho]

Or wait for the GTX 660Ti it will be arround 250$

 

[tupacalypse]

$300 for a 560Ti, what side of the loopy farm did you get your facts from?

Guess What, GTX 570 is a little bit faster than the 448 core and for $30 less after rebate

the 480 is old and runs hot

 

[bigcyco1]

Get the gtx480

 

[ilysaml]

the 480 is old and runs hot

Old wouldn't make much difference as the card supports DX11, but the GTX 500 series has better tessellation, this would make a huge difference in a game like Max Payne 3.
Runs hot, hell that's very true.

 

[tupacalypse]

My GTX 560s run no hotter than 55c with everything ULTRA with 50-55fps and 2x msaa IN SLI And yes 70-75c is preety hot my GTS 250 ran at those Temps and that card was hot as hell

 

[Massaronni]

For 300 or under i would reccomend the Gtx 560 ti 448 FTW Edition

 

[Massaronni]

I cannot find any logical reason why anyone would pick a slower card at a higher price...

I think the Gtx 560 ti 448 FTW edition is the better card imo in the price range. It matches a gtx 570 superclocked specs minus some CUDA cores for 40 dollars less. I didnt talk about SLI'ing or Crossfiring because he didnt say anything about multiple cards, just one card.

$240
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130738&Tpk=gtx%20560ti%20ftw

$210
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130759


GTX 480 at $210, 480 CUDA core with 384-BiT bus and 1536MB Vram.

GTX 560Ti 448 at $240 448 CUDA cores with 320-BiT bus and 1280MB Vram

Do the maths, it is stupid...

Gtx 480 has
700 mhz core clock
1401 shader clock
3696 effective memory clock

Gtx 560 ti 448 FTW Edition has
797 Core Clock
1594 Shader Clock
3900 effective memory clock

 

[Massaronni]

Yup, and the 480 is still faster.

The specs of the card tell it. Nothing more to add

 

[tupacalypse]

That proves alot don't it.....

Images, do a video if you want to prove me wrong.

The temps are good, but the framerate is nothing mega, the 480 at those settings will easily get the same FPS.

I dont have a video capture card this proves that 2 560 cards in SLI run cooler than a single 480

 

[tupacalypse]

If you ran 2 480 in sli his temps would be through the roof

 

[tupacalypse]

I recomend getting the 670

 

[mf2385]

Lol forget the 560 ti and 570 and get an HD 7950 or GTX 670, you can probably find them for around $400.

Dude whats your problem. This is a simple thread saying what do you think is the best card for 300 and 400 dollars and you basically just keep saying the 480 is the best to everyone who hasnt said the 480 lol. This is opinions and you gave yours. And " this will give you a better understanding of who to trust around here"? .....XD settle down

 

[mf2385]

forget the gtx 480 and just get a gtx 670 or an HD 7950, both perform better then a 480, 560 ti, or 570, easily.

 

[Ironslice]

400 - gtx 670
300 - gtx 570

 

[tupacalypse]

Yes my 560 perform almost the same as a 670 but the main point here is power and heat , a little better performance is not better than more heat and power usage

 

[Massaronni]

AS i just said for the 3RD time, GTX 670 is a great buy for $400.

I am just proving my facts correct with the 480.

Stop with the 480. You gave your opinion for the best card for 300 or less.

 

[Massaronni]

Stop what?
Getting your facts right?

You are saying a weaker card is superior...
I am pulling you up on the facts..

The specs of the 560 ti 448 FTW are better than the 480 as we saw. It produces less wattage and less heat. The only proof i have seen is a video which just happens to be made by you apparently showing you playing with a 480 on ultra...i didnt see frame rates though

This is a opinionated thread and with the combined facts of the 560 ti 448 FTW Edition having better specs, less wattage, and less heat and noise, and the fact it beats out the gtx 570 in some benchmarks, and that it overclocks better and higher than then the 480 makes me believe it is the best card for 300 dollars and less and that it beats out the 480.
