The Geforce GTX 560 TI is out, opinions?

[Pob255]

Meh I'm doing it anyway unless pob pulls out

I'm working on it.

As to the 560 vs 6950 1gb I'd say in general it's a draw, it's dependent of game and such, but that's always been the case.
The 6950 does better at very high res, but it's still within 5%-10%
if you're looking at 63fps vs 70fps, it's nothing.

Ati does have a history of bad stock coolers and nvidia does have a history of good stock coolers.
However ati does seem to have improved their stock coolers, while nvidia have been cutting back on them (to bring cost down)

Cost is going to be the big factor.
Looking at scan
xfx 6950 1gb is £208
Gigabyte gtx560 OC 1gb is £198
So also within a 5-10% variation, so you can say that pretty much they are going to perform and cost that same
it's like the old gtx260 vs 4870 debate.

The more interesting cards are the sub £150 market where the gtx460 768mb vs the 6850 fight it out.
And I'd give it to the 6850 there in performancee, but the 460 768mb in terms of cost, as it's a good chunk lower atm (stock clearance)

Utterly Jealous of you Bhavvy, I am currently looking at getting just 1 of the cards you bought, can I ask what the noise level is like on the MSI as I have heard the gigabyte are pretty quiet.

I am getting this card (MSI one). I hope it doesnt disappoint, surely it wont since my last one is an ancient 8400GS.

I currently got Radeon HD 4850, which isnt much, therefore i will be getting Gigabyte 560 TI Superclocked. Does anyone has one? or will advise against buying it?

Specs are pretty good, also custom fan they slapped on there is better than most on reg 560ti's, not aluminium but cooper

I' ve ordered the MSI one looks to be pretty decent only on the heels on the 580 in some benches.

im going to stick with my sli gtx 460 setup for now and wait for the next series of cards before i think of upgrading. if i didnt have them though, i would probs get this card. Heck it places crysis 2 nicely so its all good.

I dont see the point spending tons for graphics cards though, just doesnt seem worth it to me.

But they're the main reason that allows you to play your games at the settings you want, so if a card can max out everything and the price is reasonable why wouldn't it be worth it?
