Serious question: Whats faster, GTX 560Ti or GTX 480?

[Gibbo]

Hi there


Right if GTX 480 and GTX 560Ti were both £200 which one would be faster and which would you buy?

 

[Gibbo]

I take it once you overclock the GTX 480 the 560Ti and 570 have no chance of keeping up?

The 570 can also overclock to almost 580 stock speeds. Just like the 480. The best thing for the 480 is that it has more VRAM which is necessary for things such as higher resolutions and AA. It has been proven that games such as Stalker and Metro can easily eat through 1280MB (570 memory size) at 1920x1200 with AA maxed out.

Fair enough, I always game on 24" or larger screens so 1920x1200 is minimum resolution for me so high-res performance is biggest factor.
