560Ti - 448 Core or 2GB VRAM?

[nickeverett]

I still need a GPU for my rig. 560Ti is around the right price point for me. I game a couple of times a week, but also use video editing apps that require cuda support.

I can't choose between:

Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 Cores 732MHz 1GB

Asus GeForce GTX 560 Ti 900MHz 2GB


Both are the same price.

So, more CUDA cores or more VRAM?

I'm inclined towards the 448 core as I didn't have any VRAM issues with 1.25GB on my GTX570. Then again, what resolution do you run?

It's a pity about the CUDA support because the HD7850 is a better option than both. At stock it's about GTX560Ti speeds but people are getting upto a 50%! overclock on the core, making it a hell of a lot faster.

Not sure how that will help - he's already said he needs CUDA support.

Shows the FPS difference between the Ti, Ti-448 and a 570

Although the name implies differently the 560ti-448 is more of a castrated 570 than a beefed up 560ti architecturally speaking, unless you really need the extra ram I would say go with the 448.

To be fair I don't think there's much point buying a 2GB 560Ti generally nowadays unless you've got one and you're going SLI with them.... and then there's better options available.

I would go with the GTX 560Ti 448.

+1, if you were going to SLI then 2GB cards would be the better option (though for the price of 560ti 2GB SLI you could get a 670 which would be a much better choice)

as a single card, the 448 will most likely be the better choice as at options that the 1.2GB becomes an issue, a single 560ti will struggle anway
