MSI 560Ti choice??

[robfosters]

Help me out guys I can't decide.

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Twin FrozR II 2048MB

or

MSI GeForce GTX 560Ti OC Power Edition "448 Edition" OC Twin FrozR III 1280MB

Both exactly the same price at £228.

I want one of them, but having trouble deciding.

Warranty with OCUK, Overclock them youself .... save £65.
Have a dual fan heatpipe cooler so run fairly cool too,

Cant afford £400.

It really is the wrong time to buy tbh.

Yes, but I have to. I need a new PC before xmas and prices will not drop by then. I have the money and the card will be changed when the 600 series arrive anyway.

Sorry, Mixed up with a second post for SLI.....

One of the card I linked to would still be my vote. The GXT560Ti will OC nicely and the Palit version is identical apart from the cooler to the MSI version.

The 448 may be a little faster in some benchmarks than a similarly clocked standard card but is physically bigger and uses more power which may be a factor depending on your case cooling and PSU.

Or you could get a standard 1GB card if you plan to upgrade soon. Will still be plenty of power.

I'd wait see what the 7870's bring in a weeks time.

I spoke to someone at OC and he told me to wait. Reckons the normal 2GB MSI is better for games like BF3, and that prices fluctuate so much, I'd probably get it for cheaper if I waited a week or so. So that's what I'll do.

Always been in the green camp I'm afraid.
