560 or 560 ti, is the difference worth $30

[Geniuschen]

Hello-,

I am deciding between two EVGA cards:

gtx 560

gtx 560 ti
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130604

My question is: is the performance difference between two cards worth the $30 price difference?

BTW: GTX 560 is enough for me. But if it is worth the $30 I have no problem to update to 560 Ti.
My PSU is Cosair 500W


Thanks

I know the difference but I just don't know whether it is worth $30 to upgrade to 560 ti.
In other words , which one has the better performance-cost-ratio?

Thanks

159 is a pretty good price for the 560ti

I know. But 129 for 560 is also a good one.

the 560 is like the 6850 and the 560TI is like the 6870. The lower ones are good cards, but that extra $30 or $40 for the step up is well worth the money if you have it. Since you have it, definatly spend the extra money.

560ti is a lil closer to the 6950 than the 6870 but really the difference between 6950 and 6870 is really 15 % on average

Indeed they are, I was just comparing them on a price/performance stand point between the two.

OP what is your resolution ?
