looking at some benchmarks of the 560ti 448 core edition, it seems they overclock to 580gtx speeds, in crysis they get 49fps as a singlecard overclocked and a 580 gets 50fps. in sli these get 80fps avg at stock in bf3 and 120fps max at stock, this is on stock clocks not oc. im talking about the frozrIII version.

obviously this performance of these in sli will most likely beat the high end kepler and whats best ill get to experience it now instead of waiting months to most likely be dissapointed with high premiums. ((((possible*))))

im asking, would it be advisable to go sli 560ti 448 core now for about 400 quid which just about pokes 580gtx sli performance which is about 700 quid.

the only problem is vram. i play at 1080p but i cant stress enough how much f a gfx whore i am, i texture mod everything heavily.

its a tough choice, in many ways its a smart choice, giving heaps and heaps of performance, but in the other hand am i tarnished with vram problems.

having this discussion with a friend whos also waiting for kepler but swayed by this 448 core ti. if only they did a 2gb version of it, id be completely sold.

*but i just dont know!
 
Unless you're in a rush, I'd say wait and see what comes out.
£400 seems a lot to spend when new stuff is fairly close (78xx at least is soon isn't it?)
 
but the dual 560ti 448 cores seem to smash the 7970 which is about 450, hmm

But are lacking in vram.

And come with multiple GPU headaches.

And use more power.

And get hotter.

And need good spacing.

Honestly mate if it really was as simple as what you say cards like the 7970 wouldn't exist.
 
That's not true ALXAndy. Some people prefer only one card, or can only have one card.

It would be very good. tbh SLI is not something I'm familiar with. Also, yes the 560Ti 448 SLI might beat the 7970, but what about two of the next series in SLI? Surely that will be even better, so worth waiting to see?
 
Well i already have a ti 2gb which i paid 215 for but ive dsrd it. For 205 i can get a twin frozr III 448 edition so it would just mean getting another. Otherwise in order to save maximum money my only option is to get a cheap nv210 until kepler and as ive just built my pc it seems a waste
 
£205 seems a good price for a frozr II GTX560Ti 448!

I can see your dilemma.

What is your system? Do you have a decent PSU and SLI motherboard?

And you reakon two of them are going to be £400?

Can I have that in writing please?
