I'm confused 560ti of 6950

[01kensha01]

I don't know what to get 560ti for £200 or the 6950 for the same at overclockers. on the graph the 560 dose slightly better in the games but the 6950 does a lot better in bench marks. I am looking to buy a card that will do me for the next 2-3 years, so is the reason the 6950 does better in benchmarks because of dx11 which isn't fully utilized in today's game. so what would be better considering I want this card for a few years and dx11 will probably be used more and maybe the 2gb of ram in the 6950 will be better in the future.

thanks.

Benchmarks do not reflect real performance if you want to compare cards look at performance they get in games. The 560 uses less power, is quieter and cooler than the 6950 and it's also better at DX11 personally I would go for the 560 the only reason I would get a 6950 is for Eyefinity other than that go Nvidia.

well considering a msi 6950 rev 1 is available for £195 personally i'd take that, why? well one reason is that you can flash it two a 6970, so it will be faster than a 560, plus the fact that it has 2GB memory. Both are great cards so its upto you.

thanks, I'll probably bet the msi 560ti as its got the twin frozr 2 seems to have good reviews

you wont be disappointed

If you want to go eyefinity 6950. If you just want game performance 560 and oc the balls off it.

thats what i was ghoing to get, but TTL has teased me to get the Gigabyte 560Ti SOC edition and that will certainly not disappoint you

Yer well heard of that breaking loads cards plus this current 6900 series seems to have loads tech issues anyway.

For me the only reason to buy an AMD graphics card at the moment, would be Eyefinity. Hands down every NVidia equivalent will beat the AMD versions.
