Which card to choose
Hi all ...
Just wanna ask . I am buying a new GPU because I need to upgrade currently running a HD5770.
I am going to buy it in a month before 15th june to be exact here my options:
ASUS GTX 570 = R3600
AMD Radeon 6970 = R4200
ASUS GTX 480 = R3500
2 x ASUS GTX 460 = R4100
2 x AMD Radeon 6850 = R3500
I am looking for a good card I will even consider GTX 580 but as you can see I dont want to breach the R4500 mark.
I am not sure what will be the best bang for buck.
I am running win 7 64bits
Also is there any reason to go for a modular PSU?
Cheers

Re: Which card to choose
If you have cable management in your case and youre able to hide all your then its not necessary to get a modular psu. I would personally go for the gtx 570. And just make sure that your psu is big enough for which ever card you decide to get

Yeah, the GTX570 at that price is the winner. Also, what said.

Re: Which card to choose
Wow heavy days and thank you for the site.
So that 6970 is better than the 570? in general. I am not gonna run a rez higher than 1900 .
Lets ignore price for a minute and focus on the cards.
Is the 6970 better than the 570 .....?

Re: Which card to choose
Hada quick check after the OP: The GTX570 is a bit faster it seems and it comes with PhysX.

Re: Which card to choose
By judging the latest benchmarks there isnt a massive difference performance wise between the GTX570 and GTX580. It doesnt justify the price difference so it would be a waste paying more for just a a small performance increase.

Re: Which card to choose
Nvida vs ati. The battle continues! I would go with the 570 because as kalster said, it comes with physx. Im trying to sell my ati card for a nvidia card.
