gaurav nice one

Thnx

Looks like an even battle between 560Ti and 6850, with the former ahead by 1 vote.

i think people should post after they vote. otherwise no info on who all voted except some. what say guys?

 

[ithehappy]

I voted for GTX 570

 

[arko1983]

i vote gtx 580

I must say I'm surprised with the love that the 6850 seems to be getting, when the 6870 is much better from both value and performance perspective, lol

560Ti, was kind of expected and deserves its lead.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

rchi the price of 9.5k is tempting.

 

[Cilus]

But the price of HD 6870 is also tempting, just 12.5K for the base Sapphire model. And even Vicky will agree with me on this point that some of the factory Oced HD 6870 from MSI and Sapphire actually slightly outperform GTX 560 TI. So performance/Price ratio is much higher for HD 6870.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

agreed cilus.

 

[topgear]

Mine goes for HD6850 and there' some good reason for this

MSI Radeon HD 6850 review

It can go neck to neck compared to a stock clocked HD6870

 

[papa]

[Jaskanwar Singh]

so 6850 and 560ti - leveled. same with 6990 and 580

Ya i will agree buddy but this rule applies for reference gtx 560's. Factory overclocked 560's will be much faster and can be overclocked greatly as well.

A 100mhz overclocked 6870 will slightly edge a non overclocked reference gtx 560. But the former cannot match a non reference gtx 560 with higher clocks like msi gtx 560 twin frozr II or asus gtx 560 direct cu II top. They will beat the 100mhz overclocked 6870 even at stock and when overclocked, the gaps will rise.

The 1ghz factory overclocked 560's are a testament to its overclocking potential.

Reference 560's don't make sense to buy because factory overclocked 560's are available at the same price and their price is reducing as well.
