whats more important? GPU Clock, Memory or Shader?

[darkwildchild79]

i have been looking on the internet to get some knowlege this topic whats more important? GPU Clock, Memory or Shader? because i have noticed different GPu have different seeing like for some would have higher GPU speed lower memory and then you have some that low gpu and higher memory

for example all are 216 cores
- palit gtx 260 running at 729/1201/1480
- evga gtx 260 running at 576/1998/ ??
- evga gtx 260 sc running at 626/2106/ ??
- gigabyte 260 soc running at 680/2500/1584

looking at the choice i would say palit is better because of the GPU or am i wrong??

I'm not entirely sure myself but I know that the Gigabyte Super Overclock models are supposed to be among the best, if not thee best.

Is there any specific reason you're going for a GTX260? Because they're old out of date technology and are priced quite high for what they are too.

The gigabyte SoC will almost deff. be the best out of those by quite a margin if you absolutely have to buy a GTX260.

it was just examples but i was more looking to which would be important when getting a card is it the gpu clk memory or shader

Its not that simple.

When comparing 2 cards that are otherwise alike then generally the shader has the most impact on fps but it can vary.

It also depends on the game it would seem. In crysis a memory overclock for meseem to have a bigger impact in fps than anything else.

The gigabyte SOC is the king of the 260s but why a 260?

using at gtx 260 was an example since i have seen a lot of system with 260 3sli, but my mine intrest is GPU/Mem/Shader hence the main title the actual chip model 260 or 275 does not really matter, it was just something i was wondering since there are so many gpu with different ratings

are you saying that crysis runs better with higher memory clock speed that gpu speed or have i got it all wrong??
