AMD or NVIDIA?

Postby LoneWanderer » Fri Oct 07, 2011 10:30 pm

So the question I pose to everyone is.......AMD Radeon HD 6870 or NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti? AMD is less expensive and has slightly better FPS, but I'm wondering about durability/performance/upgrade convenience. Thoughts? :geek:

The 560ti gets better FPS than 6870 according to this. A ATI ard which is similar to 560ti is 6950. Also the 560ti costs more, and is more quiet.

Gigabyte made a 560ti superoverclocked card that performed like a 570 but it is expensive.

I quite like Nvidia as I had a GTS450 Previously but only decided to change to AMD (sapphire) because they had a cheaper card on sale - the Radeon 6950 2GB :D
