Which GFX Card?

[Kingy1968]

Hi again...

I've decided on what system to get now (I think) and the only thing im having trouble on deciding on is the gfx card..

As I said in a previous post I will be doing a little video editing, photoshop and playing BF3 and MW3 at a resolution of 1920x1200..

I have been told numerous time that I will need a 2gb card so the ones im looking at would be the GTX 560ti or the ATI 6950..

What would be the best?

Cheers Guys

what is your budget?

i mean e.g if you are going to spend approx £200 on a 2gb 560ti you might as well spend that bit extra and look for a cheap 570 (which regardless of ram differecnce is just plain and simple faster card)

I dont have any experience with bf3 personally and havent seen any benchmarks comparing 1gb vs 2gb gtx 560ti so cant comment on importance of it. But my understanding with %99 of games 1gb vs 2gb will make almost no difference at all (edit: except of course at really high resolutions), although the value of card will hold for longer.

like i say it really comes down to how much money to want to/willing to spend.

i was looking at this

i mean damn that right there price/performance is really really good.

and i would be %99 confident that the performance it woudl give vs 2gb 560 would be pretty much identical
