MSI N560GTX-Ti Twin FROZR II Review - Overclockers Club just look at oced (1027/ results... pretty good against both oced hd 6970 (941/1520) and gtx570(785/1013)...

http://www.guru3d.com/article/gigaby...i-soc-review/1 (what if 1ghz would be looking like...) still no sli...
http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforc...ti-sli-review/ (sli but still not overclocking against hd6950...)


my knowledge msi gtx 560 ti (able to oc to 1ghz or even more) and is pretty equal to or excess than hd 6970 and gtx 570... i still dont see sli or cfx result ;[

but hd 6950 2gb can flash to hd 6970 then able hit 950mhz (limited?)... and cfx is much better than sli on some tests (aka hhd 6970 vs gtx580) from some reviews...

my real question is what if i oc hd 6950 (with 6970 flashed) and will it beat oced gtx 560 sli easily?

so which should i get?


btw 20cdn extra is not big deal to me (cfx for 40) but i also can get waterblock asap...

[_dangtx_]

the 6950 all the way.

At U2711 & U3011 resolutions.. probably CF 6950.

I'm thinking of getting 6950 unlock cfx for my setup too. Would a 850wat be enough ??

I went with sli GB 560 Ti to run my triple monitor set up. Hopefully i'll get them within a reasonable amount of time, along with my rma'ed mobo.

dangtx, amd boy? ;p

ok i see that 2gb ram is really benefit for high resolution... according to many real-experience of ex-gtx570 and hd 6970 users...

arinoth, i would like to heard your result... especially your oc sli (at your highest resolution)


this []Nvidia's GeForce GTX 560 Ti graphics processor - The Tech Report - Page 7] review is also interesting to read... compare gigabyte soc to asus and msi... msi seems best one...and able to oc to over 1ghz very well...

and odd about that review... hd 6970 beat gtx 560 soc :\ probably occ's gtx560 with 1027 ghz is need to be equal to hd 6970...

[Arinoth]

Well my highest resolution will be (1920x3)x1080 as i can't go back to single monitor gaming. Like i said i'll let you know their performance whenever i get them and my mobo in.

thats fine... ;p

and i also found 2gb version from palit at Palit- GTX 560 Ti 2GB (2048MB GDDR5)

hmmm....

and order it at canadian newegg for 280... Newegg.ca - Palit NE5X56T01142-1041F GeForce GTX 560 Ti (Fermi) 2GB 256-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card
