6870+440 or 560 ti

[ash-i]

Guys i need to buy a graphics card soon
i though of getting a 6870+440 or a 560ti
both setup costing under 15k
kindly suggest which is better or any other better setup

Get 7850. Lot better than any of them. All of the listed cards are previous gen card.

Either Gigabyte HD7850 OC @15.4K
or, Sapphire HD7850 @15.6K

@ash-i, GT440 for Physx? better spend those getting the GPU d6bmg suggested or buy an SSD by saving a bit more.

Simply get HD 7850.

Faster than GTX 560 Ti. Eats a lot less power. Overclocks more. Better at compute.

"PhysX" is a gimmick. No need to fall for that.

get HD7850 Power Ed. @ 17.5k and Oc it to ~1200 Mhz and get performance similar to HD7870 - gigabyte HD7850 OC Ed. is alos good but you won't be able to OC it beyond 1050 Mhz.

Get any 7850, but no gtx560 ti. Sapphire, Gigabyte, HIS, MSI, Asus. They all are non reference model and can be overclocked to at least 1050 mhz

If you get used GTX 560 ti or HD 6950 below 10k, its VFM deal. Since 6k more is considerable amount at almost same performance as HD 7850.

^^^ THIS.

Buying a Brand New HD6950/GTX 560 Ti for its current price/performance is not recommended.

HD7850 FTW all day.

I think OP wants to use HD 6870 + 440 using lucid logic.. I dont have much idea about it but i do reccommend HD 7850/unlocked HD 6950.. or wait a few more days for GTX 660

 

[ashis_lakra]

Better wait for 2-3 months

yep and for the availability try here ( call them ) :

SMC international

the gfx card will run just fine on your mobo and you won't notice any performance degradation.
