MSI India ? Graphics Card - N560GTX-Ti Hawk

ASUS - Graphics Cards- ASUS ENGTX560 Ti DC2 TOP/2DI/2GD5

MSI India - Computer, Laptop, Notebook, Desktop, Mainboard, Graphics and more

Hawk is 1 gb and other 2 options 2 gb….. which one to go for.

Is it worth spendind extra for 2 gb to make it future. Intend to use the card for 3 odd years.

I feel hawk is better in 1gb segment. Which 1 to buy in 2 gb?

Direct cu 2 top vs twin frozr 2

Ditch GTX560 TI and go for HD7850 card available for 16 - 18k

If Strictly Nvidia GPU....then wait for GTX 660/650.

S

If strictly Nvidia go for GTX 660 or GTX 560 TI OC editions , GTX 650 performs just minutely better than GTX 550 Ti so no point in going for the same.

7850 seems to be the best bet as of now

No point waiting for 660, it won't be available here before September-October. Get an overclocked 7850, that's your best option.

You should go for a gtx560ti if you have a budget of less than 14k. But you have 18k, so you can easily get the msi hd 7850 power edition.

guys no ATI
( ONLY NVIDIA)

MSI India ? Graphics Card - N560GTX-Ti Hawk

ASUS - Graphics Cards [...] /#overview

*in.msi.com/product/vga/N560 [...] v=Overview

PLEASE SUGGEST ONE

kindly please clarify my following queries

1. is ASUS 2gb oc top gtx 560ti better overall by a huge number as compared to the msi twin froz II 2gb OC

2. is hawk 1gb gtx560ti by msi a real good solution keeping in mind its 1gb and how can this affect my pc in future

3. can I sli a gtx 670 in future wit a gtx560ti or it has to be of the same type ?

KEEPING IN MIND I HAVE A maximus V GENE board from ASUS ( Micro ATX)

will the asus gtx560 DCII TOP 2gb prevent me to sli in future due to its size ????

1. No
2. No
3. No, you can only SLI same type
4. No

If you are willing to spend 18k, 7850 is the only option atm and a very good one. A 560Ti will be within 15k, but not a wise purchase. Your call now.

S

if incase I opt to checkout the 7850 by ATI

What manufacturer and model should I go for
(Provide exact link)

(keeping in mind de budget)

This: MSI R7850 Power Edition 2GD5/OC PCI Express GDDR5 Graphic Card

or this: SAPPHIRE Radeon HD 7850 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 3.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Graphic Card

HD 7850 is better than any and every nVidia card around that price range.

and HD 7850 comes with 2 GB VRAM by default.

btw why are you thinking of wasting money on a previous generation card like GTX 560 Ti which is slower and comsumes twice the power?

Either spend 30K and buy GTX 670 or buy HD 7850 in ~16K.

There are none with my HD 6950.

and also how would you rate
A
7850 crossfire
vs
560ti sli
or
a single 670

GTX 560 Ti is out of question for me in any way - whether single or crossfire. It is waste of money in 2012.

HD 7850 Crossfire will be faster than GTX 670, but I'd prefer a GTX 670 as I prefer a single card.

Frankly, 7850 CF is the best VFM setup atm. It needs only two 6 pin power connectors and perform better than the top cards. :razz:

Not one bit.

AMD HD 7850 is much faster at OpenCL compute if it counts. Even faster than GTX 680.

HD 7850 is the card to get. Nothing else around 16K.

Performance per watt, MSI HD 7850 Power Ed is at top.

1) Noisy under load - less of an issue if you ask me, and you can always use a custom fan profile
2) Overclock out of the box is small - you can manually OC it to higher levels
3) CCC Overdrive limits too low - not an issue, use Afterburner for OC
4) No support for CUDA and PhysX -doesn't matter at all

In short, these are cons for cons' sake, practically this is the best card to get all things considered.

I'll elaborate but I don't entertain queries asked in caps lock.

nVidia PhysX = gimmick. Now dead. Only 3-4 games use it. The point is, you want to play those 3-4 games like Batman: AC/AA or the rest every game which will run run faster in HD 7850? Plus, enabling PhysX effects in 3-4 games which support it means a 50-60% performance penalty.

Second, things computing languages like CUDA and OpenCL don't matter for gaming. AMD supports OpenCL and AMD's HD 7000 series is faster than any Geforce card nVidia has produced whether they have CUDA or not.

HD 7850 is faster in 3ds Max/Maya Viewports. It is faster than GTX 560 Ti (and also GTX 670) in compute.

Verdict: Non-sense cons written in that site. Just for the sake of it. Just read the review and performance in games and buy whichever card you want.
