Christ! And I get two games? That cant be right?

stulid · 10 Aug 2011 at 20:28

It is, and its overclocked more than a standard 6850.

BringTheRain · 10 Aug 2011 at 20:33

Going on this, it would make sense to CF anyway

Or am i missing something?

Your not missing anything, but the PSU will be needing a change as well for a pair of them.

BringTheRain · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:18

Done some research. 6870 is a bad card for WOT.

Stulid out of the 560ti and the fugly what would you spend the money on.

Runs and hides

stulid · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:20

I would dig deep and get a GTX570.

I hate ATI cards they suck.

BringTheRain · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:23

£200 is really pushing it bud. Otherwise I would love too

stulid · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:25

Get a 560

Been looking at them, but the 560ti is just better than a gtx460 and due to that screen shot, i would be happy as he see's min 40fps

The card is upside down, you only see its arse and the side

why do they do that?! they make a lovely design and add fancy coolers and fans for a card what goes in upside-down!!!

You can see a GTX560 in blue, the green bar is a ASUS GTX560 with a higher clock than the ASUS I linked to above.

I never understood this either. I *think* if you get a decent case the mobo is mounted the other way or something. So the fans sit on top. Seen it in murder mod cases

stulid · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:45

There use to be BTX cases (google it) that will show the cards the right way up.

What does that mean, i am confused now

I just sold a Lian Li V1000 on the MM that has that orientation too.

As for your GPU dilemma, why is the ATI card no good for WOT? I think it's better value, but also having used a GTX 570 and HD 5870 today, the nvidia card is better made if that counts for anything.

BringTheRain · 10 Aug 2011 at 21:51

Seems to be loads of low fps issues,

It means a GTX560 is roughly 13% faster than a GTX460 when everything is averaged out, but look at the resolution you use to see the exact difference.

If you can find an overclocked GTX560 (like in green) then its close to a GTX560ti.
