GTX 560 vs ati 6850

[mrrul3z]

aoa people. i need some buying advice for a gpu card, my budget is approxximtaely 16-18K. as of my research today there are a couple of candidates that i found. sparkle 560(iamxtreme) and the 6850(galaxy). according to most websites 560 is 10-15% faster than the 6850. but i do need to ask that which one should i go for. are there any drawbacks for any of this card. and also will they b compatible with my system. ea500 and asus p8h61m-le. i won't b ove0rclocking at all neither will i sli or xfire. all i need is a reliable card that runs cool and i can sacrifice 10% performance for that.

The GTX 560 in most aspect's is superior than the 6850 and is basically the best for its price at 18K.
On paper the 560 only has a bit more memory bandwidth whereas in other cases everything is greater e.g. Clock speed,pixel rate etc than the 6850.

6850 only win's for being a less power consuming GPU but that shouldn't be a problem for your Antec Psu

One thing that Nvidia has which Ati will never have is Physx and it does really help in Physx supported games,Nvidia would clearly win in this case.
So 560 is your winner man

are u sure about this?

6950 pulls ahead of even GTX560Ti

 

[Shary Bhallu TC]

It can't beat 6950. Who wrote that? -____-...

But 560 can indeed beat 6850 and 6870 easily and will easily run on that PSU.

6950 is way better than 560ti....

compare them both stock to stock
and then
overclocked to overclocked

 

[sunny945]

IMO gtx560 will be better choice for you. don't go for 6950 and just don't even think about 6850. get sparkle 560 gtx and you are good to go

 

[WAQAS ADEEM]

6950 is a beast...it kills 560ti hands down...
