Yep, thats what I want. Guess I will wait for some new entrants. This fickleness in mind is caused by stiff competition :mrgreen:

Get gtx 570. Future proof and performs close to amd 6970. Later you can upgrade the other components and sandybridge would also make its presence felt by jan end.

Yep, SandyBridge and Something equivalent to GTX 570.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

Guys I have purchased Sapphire HD 5670 1 GB. On website the specification was PCI E 2.0 but when the box came it was PCI E 2.1. My MB is Asus M2N68 AM PLUS. Will my MB and Bios support the Graphic card. Please let me know guys.

PCI-E 2.1 is backward compatible to PCI-E 1 and PCI-E 2.0, so you can use it, but beware some older legacy mobos have issues with newer cards, eg older intel G35 boards, so its not guaranteed to work, but PCI-E is not an issue here.

If it does not work at start try to update your mobo BIOS from your manufacturer website, lots of manufacturers put out bios updates to increase compatibility with PCI-E 2.0 cards.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

You have the mobo and gfx card both at hand. Why not try them. That's how you will know it for sure.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

If gtx 570 and radeon 6970 are equally priced then 6970 would be a tad better and they are almost equal in performance. In legit reviews, 570 won 6 benchmarks and 6970 won 5.

Check this.

If gtx 570 drops a bit in price close to 6950, then it will be an exceptional buy. And 570 won the benchmarks in newer games which take the most out of nvidia's architecture.

Re: All Graphics Cards related queries here.

^^ HiS can be compared with power color in terms of quality - IMO. For a HD6950( ~158Ws) a VX450 or similar PSU and for HD6970 ( ~207Ws ) a VX550 or similar PSU will do just fine.

Congrats !

I don't think the 6amp plug of your PSU has anything to do with your gfx card Ocing. Even a 6 amp plug will be able to provide 1320Ws power ! do you really think your rig will consume even around 1000Ws but at the end of the day it's your call of-course.
