nvidia gtx 560 ti Vs saphire amd hd 7850; both are 1gb

[prathmesh]

which is the better pick?
I mean is the 560 worth the extra 2 K , or should i go for the 7850?

 

[SunE]

Imo hd 7850.

 

[ashis_lakra]

GTX 560 Ti is worth @ 10-11K whereas HD 7850 is worth 13-14K . If you've budget of 14k, go for HD 7850 eyes close, if of 10k go for GTX 560 Ti.

GTX 660 (non Ti) can also be considered.

 

[Nighthawk12]

Gtx 660

Performance wise:
HD7850 > GTX560ti

Power consumption wise:
HD7850 >> GTX560ti

GO figure.

P.S. You are comparing two graphics cards with their VRAM size?

 

[Harsh Pranami]

go for 7850. Outperforms 560 in every aspect

 

[prathmesh]

hmm i just checked 560 ti no longer available; but 660 ti is the new model available, so which is better 660ti or 7850; budget around 13K; want to play on 1080p resolution only; if any other graphic card is also available for around the same budget, please recommend

GTX 660 Ti is not available around 13K. It is available at 20K.

GTX 660 should be around ~16K, I think.

I'd suggest HD 7850 2 GB. Get a 2 GB card. Should be around 14K.

Sapphire Radeon 7850 2GB is available at 13.5k in Pune

 

[Cilus]

GTX 660 is also available around 14.7K in SMC. It is better in gaming performance than HD 7850, even with the 12.11 beta driver.

 

[prathmesh]

these are all mixed reviews , am getting more confused than already was.

 

[ashis_lakra]

13-15K -> GTX 660 > HD 7850
16-18k -> HD 7870
20-22K -> GTX 660 Ti ( overclocked ) slightly better than HD 7950, but HD 7950 @ 21.5K is very good.
23-27K -> GTX 670
28-31K -> HD 7970 ~ GTX 680

Who told you that GTX 660 Ti is better than HD 7950? Read the latest reviews after the release of Catalyst 12.11 performance drivers.

 

[prathmesh]

guys plz dont go off topic. 21k is not my budget. 15 k is already stretching my budget
so now 2 remain Sapphire AMD/ATI HD 7850 HDMI OC Edition 2 GB GDDR5 Graphics Card; or Gigabyte NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660 2 GB GDDR5 GV-N660OC-2GD Graphics Card ?? which is better?

I'm well aware of it. I believe this says otherwise. Pls don't say Radeon are clocked lower cuz they are both factory overclocked and available for sale & 660 ti is priced a bit lower than HD 7950. Radeon HD 7950 vs. GeForce GTX 660 Ti revisited - The Tech Report - Page 1

Bad comparison.

 

[Cilus]

The site which you have mentioned, there are certain doubts about the technique they used to measure performance, especially the latency part.

i bought a Gigabyte GTX 660 for 15k locally and for your budget i think you should go with a 7850 or 660

 

[prathmesh]
