Decision AX 5850 vs 550Ti

[CSheldon]

Right..i got a AX 5850 (Looks like the Powercolor Edition) GPU,
and a
Zotac 550ti AMP Edition GPU

What would you guys choose, and why? Ones AMD and the other is Nvidia if you didn't know.

Thanks

Also looking at this website the AX 5850 is just better than the 550Ti

The 5850 is a far superior card in every single way

oh right, was given it me, and said it was broken and didn't work. Got it working and he said i can keep it, so would you say use the 5850 instead of my Zotac 550ti?

 

[seumasbeathan]

I certainly would yes.

The power draw of the 550ti is better(lower) but everything else the 5850 wins

Thanks not really fussed about power draw, plus the 550Ti is like so much hotter than the 5850, by about 20degrees on the games i play!
