kingdii Posted January 3, 2012 Share Posted January 3, 2012 I bought my Asus version of the 560 Ti (2 in SLI) from newegg and lots of fans. Crank up the game's video settings and go for it (BC2 and BF3 for me). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benway Posted January 4, 2012 Share Posted January 4, 2012 Okay, I was thinking about getting this card for my system:http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130739 Does anyone have it, and if so, do you recommend it? The pleb-version is already pretty smooth, i got one as an on the fly replacement (blackscreen + musical MoBo Saturday afternoon) for 1 evga_GTX285_FTW for twice+ the juice. To give a few tendencies, it "performs" not as good in benchmarks (285 result with maxed out memory timings though (dominator @1600 XMP) couldn't be arsed with the 560), but under practical conditions the 560 returns rather higher but first and foremost more stable FPS rates; this as well with old and new games, in paricular it's way smoother in RO2, 90fps almost constant vs. 60-68 ish. It's cooler and more silent, 40°C vs. 52°C idle. Stable and solid. Bottomline thumbs up. And for the future i'd rather get another mass product from a mass brand rather than a nifty-pricey niche product of a - still - mass brand, marginal performance gain plus more noise isn't really worth the less marginally higher price. Only pro was if you get 10 years RMA - not here, PartNo.-KR is 3 years anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nik21 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 I think you can get a 570 for that price (ebga 570 HD for examle) - on the other side, i wouldnt put a highend-card like that in your sytem... If this this a Phenom I Processor. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolor Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 You specs are missing one important piece of information; your PSU. There's 150W+ difference in draw between your current card and the 560. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperTaz Posted January 5, 2012 Author Share Posted January 5, 2012 I don't remember what my PSU rating is. It has been awhile since I did any work in my tower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SuperTaz Posted January 13, 2012 Author Share Posted January 13, 2012 Here is a 570 that seems to be within my price range: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130687 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolor Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Have you accounted for draw yet? A decent PSU is going to set you back about £120 if needed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagnet Posted January 13, 2012 Share Posted January 13, 2012 i have a bud with a 570 he loves it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I looked at mine and it is a 1000W PSU. This is the PSU that I have according to the model number. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16817341045 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
