My original budget was £130, I'm already waaay over stretched, I was going to get a refurb 570 but they sold out before I got £200 together.

The performance difference between the two isnt massive anyone is it?

The 560ti seems to bench better for most 1920 games, lower power consumption, lower temps. What are "rays per second" btw? The 560ti seems to destroy the 470 in that aspect.

There doesnt seem to be a huge amount between the 6950 and the 560ti in benchmarks too.

I'm coming from a 4890hd btw so I'm guessing I'll see a large improvement regardless?

I'll give it until I've been to the bank to check funds to decide, thanks to Easyrider it looks like the 6950

I use a 42" tv, not going to hook up anything else.

The MSI 6950 twin frozr is also 2gb with higher clock speeds.

What makes the IceQ so good?

 

[Azarathal]

Well I have £198.98, I could stretch to £205 for the msi 6950.

Now it boils down to 560Ti super clocked or 6950 2gb

Or the b-grade reference 6950 (flashable to 6970) for £180

En route now
