Nvidia or Ati thread

[Unicorn]

Im not sure on the advantages and disadvantages price-wise on each.

It would be a single card run system until i save more funds to either x-fire or sli it, And im looking between either

3D Vision ( NVIDIA Glasses one )
Or
Eyefinity
I need a new monitor(s) as it is so this is no issue.

Budget for first card is 200, Then when i get more funds i buy another
Could someone advise me on what road to go down?
I currently game at 1366×768 but want to go to 1920x1200

Monitor doesnt need to be able to look up to anything but my pc either but ps3 wudnt be a bad idea if i can.

Advice? Thanks

I was looking at GTX 560Ti's i like the price and power of them. I want to do 3d really as ill be getting a 120HZ monitor which is a LG D2342P 23" Full HD 3D LED Backlit Monitor. Then if i lack power when the 560's drop in price eventually or i get bored ill buy a second and SLI it.

Would this monitor be sufficient ?

EDIT: The 6950 i hear i can unlock to a 6970 easily though which is a lot cheaper and it would perform highly?

Didnt get the edit in in time.

Would this outrun a 560Ti ? Or even 2 in sli?

6950 v 560Ti Bench - http://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/293?vs=330

You can see SLI performance from that site too.

Thanks! Just checked it out and i think SLI is the way ill go and stuff 3D gaming for abit longer due to budget. If im not getting that monitor though any you would recommend which are good? 23" ish

A 6950 2GB will be slightly better than a 560Ti 1GB at 1080p. At higher resolutions it will have a VRAM advantage and so will more closely match a 560Ti 2GB. But even unlocked a 6970 won't equal 560Ti SLI. In SLI they will even beat a GTX 580.

Also I don't know if the current cards unlock. I thought that with the older batches.

On the plus side I did see a user review saying that monitor works in 3D with an ATI card.
It won't be quite as good as NVIDIA 3D Vision 2, but it will definitely be a fair bit cheaper, and if you've got that monitor already then paired with a 6950 2GB may be the way to go.

I think the SLI will be my route.. Recommend any other monitors?
