Hi all, just a quick question.

Which should I go for? The 560Ti or the 650Ti?

(The 650Ti specifically being "MSI GeForce GTX 650Ti OC Power Edition 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card" from OCUK
And the 560Ti being the "TWIN FROZR II" I believe)

I was curious just because I'm currently running the NVIDIA GTX 460 1GB which does a dandy job as it stands. But it seems like it needs a bit more juice to run BF3 on ultra. I know 3 friends who have the 560Ti 1GB and say running BF3 on ultra was like a walk in the park. Very smooth, etc.

Just wanted to get some opinions on this =]
Thanks in advance!

Ah right, didn't know that. Thanks for the heads up!

Um I hadn't actually considered the 2GB 7850, no.

Reckon this would suit my PC nicely?

"MSI HD 7850 Twin Frozr III OC 2048MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Cards w/ Nexuiz & Sleeping Dogs PC Games [V273-003R]"

System Specification
- Case: Antec 300 Case with Purple LED Fans
- Power Supply: XFX 650W Pro Power supply
- CPU: Intel Core i5 2500K 3.30GHz @ 4.60GHz Sandybridge CPU
- Motherboard: Intel Z68 (Socket 1155) DDR3 Motherboard ** B3 REVISION **
- Cooler: Corsair H50 CPU Cooler
- RAM: 8GB DDR3 1600MHz
- Hard Drive: Western Digital Caviar Blue 500GB SATA 6GB/s
- Sound: Realtek 7.1 Channel Sound (On-Board)
- Optical Drive: LG DVD+/-RW SATA Drive

I think I'd only need to make sure it could fit into my case if it gets the thumbs up.

I cant believe people actually consider the 650TI when it gets spanked by a 7850 1GB eben before overclocking, and thoroughly thrashed after both are overclocked. :confused:

I just put it down to my own lack of knowledge of the cards really :(

I'll most likely go for the 2GB 7850 then. Would just need to check to see if the card can fit, then happy days! :)

Cheers for the help everyone!
