Need Help Choosing

[littledave]

I need to order a new card tonight. Will be running it at a res of 1080p.

My choices so far.

EVGA GeForce GTX 570 HD 2560MB £329.99

Gigabyte GeForce GTX 570 SOC WINDFORCE 3X 1280MB £299.99

Sapphire ATI Radeon HD 6970 2048MB £284.99

Which would be the best performance wish and for future game releases at 1080p.

Would i benifit anymore from say. EVGA GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked

Anybody

At 1080p, the 2.5 gb gfx card will be pointless.

The 570's are slightly faster than the 6970's (debateable) so i'd get one of those.

My vote overall would go in the following order:

1. EVGA 580
2. Gigabyte 570
3. 6970
4. EVGA 570

Lol! same reason I bought mine!

Get the DS version if you want EVGA, unless you plan o liquid cool?

 

[littledave]

Whats the difference between the 'DS Superclocked' and the 'Superclocked'

Isnt the superclocked the better card?

 

[Cleeecooo]

DS has a better cooler

 

[littledave]

The DS only has a 3 yr warrenty as do any of the cards with codes ending in -KR

I feel your pain (i really do!) but it's worth it for the epic cooler. You can also pay to extend it?

3yrs is enough TBH

 

[littledave]

Does the DS come with the High flow backplate also?

no need - the cooler is good ennough

 

[littledave]

I thought they were both reference card layouts so whats the need of the cooler?, hardly a replacement for the 10yr warrenty
