Pull the trigger on a 560 ti?

[K1tty]

I had a 7950 in my sig system, but sold it for cash + the 560ti. It was definitely all the power needed for 1900x1200 and even for 3 screen eyefinity in most situations. I mainly sold it because I'm now doing stuff that needs Cuda. Physics is nice extra as well. But yeah, playing on the single screen I see no difference between the 7950 and 560ti 448, both maxed what I play pretty much. I gave up on eyefinity, the bezels just kill it for me >_<'

Bezels is main reason i'm avoiding eyefinity, well that and the huge cost to set up. Thank goodness for bezels because it is pricy.

Yeah... I was waiting to see what the 680 GTX brought to the table. However, I think for the money I'll be better getting another 560ti 448 for Sli than stepping up to a single 680.

bro I could wait any longer (basically fried my GTX280 tring to flash it) anyway I also didnt find any value in AMD's offering and got this:
http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500231
Same speed more of less as 7870 for $120 less and FREE battlefield 3 game.

It's same speed as GTX 570 also.http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti_Amp_Edition/

I would have bought AMD had they came in with a decent price considering power savings but that's not worth extra $120 to me.

AMD has their head where sun don't shine charging $120-$100 more than 448s and 570s. They don't even have the solid reputation and following of nvidia not to mention no physx/cuda and are way overcharging. Crazy.

ZoNe I'm sure that card will work out great for you but I think you are much better off getting the MSI TF3 Power edition 448 from Amazon for $249.99 after MIR.

From what I have experienced and seen it is the best performing 448.. Has a great PCB with 6+1 phases for power that works great for over clocking.

Don't get BF3 but you get the best 448.

Thanks SonDa5. Yeah. I would have purchased that, however no EK waterblock fits it and I already have an EK-570 which fits the Zotac. Plus I want BF3.

Smart move. It's a shame nobody builds a full VGA water block for the MSI.

1. Good price point/bang for buck option? Can't you get the 448Core for close to this price?
2. Wait to see if the price drops after the 600s roll out? Might GO UP if supply can't keep up with demand. I read another thread saying he wanted to add another exact card to make a CFX setup but it was close to $80 price increase from when he bought it.
3. Bottle neck on my CPU (in sig C2Q @ 3.15)? If yes what OC would I need to push? From what I've read it will close .

The MSI is the best card. Just look at robust mobo compared to other versions.

Then add to that it has best cooler too. No brainier.


Don't wait. Computer hardware gets cheaper and faster all the time so you'll always be waiting or always be disappointed if you buy. Just bite bullet and buy what you NEED.

Recently purchased a Asus DirectCU II 560 ti 448 for my Sister's PC, since she has no future plans for SLI. A solid performing card all around. Extra large PCB with 6+2 phase power.. However, it is a large card, and SLI is an issue depending on your motherboard / case.
