A Choice of few GPU's

evanc1411 · 01-12-2012, 09:11 PM

I need to choose between 1 of these 3 graphics cards. Budget and requirements are out of the question. Which one of these will be the best combined with an AMD Phenom II X6 processor and on a 1920 by 1080 monitor?

Out of:

PNY - GeForce GTX 550Ti - PNY

EVGA - GeForce GTX 560 - EVGA | Products

XFX - Radeon HD 6850 - Models

If you have any recommendations in that price range feel free to post. Thanks!

I have been out of the graphic cards world for a little bit, but I've done some brief research and out of those three the GTX560 seems to be the stronger card despite being slightly more power hungry.

I would have to say the gtx 550ti as I use it personally. Based on price, it is the best value. I paid 200$ at best buy, but at new egg you could get one for 120$. The difference between the 560ti and 550ti is not very notice-able. I can play mw2 on the highest settings possible with the 550ti, never going under 57 fps. If you really need the extra 6 fps from the 560 ti go for it.

Too late... Checked the passmark ratings for best value GPU and the Radeon 6850 was #1 on the list. I ordered an overclocked one anyways, so I expect even better. What do you have against ATi?

Nothing I love ATI
