560 ti SC or 6950?

So, i was planning on upgrading to a 560ti when i saw a 6950 for about 10 bucks less. I honestly dont know much about computers in general, but i would like to know, which GPU is better?

6950 2gb sapphire toxic, its faster than the 570 gtx out of the box in games NOT sponsored by nvidia. It can be flashed to a 6970 easily, all you have to do is change the switch on the bottom of the card to 6970 and you're done. Also it overclocks to godlike speeds and comes close to a 580 gtx, i kid you not. It costs $270, comes with 2 games as well (deus ex and dirt 3)

6950 is the best bang for the buck if you can get an unlockable one with good OC ability. Most 560 Ti(s) already have good OC ability. Also, the sapphire toxic 6950 will only beat reference 570s, not any of the good ones.

Well you can't flash it to a 6970, but it should be fine if you aren't interested in that.

There are some 6950s that can be unlocked to 6970s.

If you arent going to look for a card to unlock then I suggest getting this.

Huge factory overclock and still has room to overclock even more. Performs better then 6950s.

The ASUS DCUII 560ti is factory overclocked to 900mhz. It stay hella cool too. Great buy if you want to go the 560ti routeSerial-No_3404

[QUOTE="kris9031998"][QUOTE="Serial-No_3404"] It's also a good $30-$40 more expensive. He can save the money and manually overclock the extra 50mhz if he wants. Serial-No_3404

Err, not trying to seem rude, but do they sell it on amazon? i say this because i am buying a few other things on there while i buy a new GPU, and it is somewhat easier to do with only one website.

The hawk is 240 after rebate and has a higher OC range.

I didn't see a rebate in the page that you linked. Serial-No_3404

The hawk, best factory overclock. If you get it from newegg it's 240 after rebate and free shipping. Depending on where you live, there might be no tax.

I would go with the 6950 cause it has the free game and 2gb of ram. If you ever decide to crossfire it and go eyefinity the 2gb of ram will help loads with textures and crap like that. Serial-No_3404

If you get either the Nvidia cards on newegg, you get a free copy of Batman Arkham City, so theres that.

i haven't hyped it up at all, the reviews clearly state that any game that is not sponsored by nvidia, the 6950 2gb toxic does better than the 570 gtx in. The 570 gtx >> 560 ti, which means the 6950 2gb toxic >>>> 560 ti

It beats reference on some games when its in 6950 mode. A non reference PCB 570 will beat that card.

What does the other things you are buying matter? Millions of people use newegg, they are used more then any other online store for computer components in the US.

all 4 games not sponsored by nvidia, the 6950 toxic beats the 570 gtx. In games that ARE sponsored by nvidia, the 570 DOES do better, i will admit that.

Newegg is a great site if you decide to use it. And you get better deals with the 560ti cards via newegg cause it includes the Batman game (I've never played it). I'm going to be buying a monitor from newegg maybe tonight and pick it up from the warehouse cause it's like 3 minutes from my place. Serial-No_3404

How about I throw in a few more cards to make it all the more confusing for TC? :P

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125385

This seems like really good value to me. You get an insane looking cooler and a huge factory overclock, if you are not planning to play in super resolution I believe 1GB VRAM will last you a long time.

If you are willing to overclock yourself then you can also consider this card.

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814127594

One of the best coolers around willl ensure you are able to overclock easily, dont pay for the clocks it's the cooler that matters.

6950 is slightly more powerful than the 560 Ti but you lose physx and custom game profiles so the choice is yours.
