gtx 560ti or 570

[ukgeezer1]

Hi

I have to buy a gfx card as my friend wants his 4890 back.
I was looking at the 2 msi offerings 560ti frozr or the 570 frozr.

i have a 2500k and asrock z68 ex4gen3 8gb ram, fractal r3

I want a nice quiet PC with a good amount of punch to play at 1920x1200

I can't really afford either but have to buy something.

any suggestions.
thx

Both of the cards you've chosen should fit in your R3 case.

Here's a comparison of the two: http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/330?vs=306
Whether you want to spend an extra £58 for the FPS increase of the GTX 570 is up to you, really!

If you're going to, make sure you get it while it's still on the weekly offer

went for the MSI 560TI OC Frozr

Either try to find a MSI 6950 2GB Twin FrozR III with free new Deus Ex game for under £200, or a GTX570 1.28GB Twin FrozR III with free new Batman game for under £250.

Edit: ahhh...too late.

The one on here comes with the Batman game. I know which retailer you're thinking of though.

560Ti will be a perfectly good card as long as you're not applying ludicrously high amounts of AA, which you shouldn't need to do at that resolution. I hear they overclock well too
