Evga 570

[Buckeye269]

I'm stuck here. Either I get this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130595 Which is a super clocked version w/ 1 gb of vram, or this: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130687 Which has 2.5 gb of vram, but isn't superclocked. There is a $35 dollar difference between the two. I play on 1920x1080 resolution.

Any advice is helpful advice.

You can pretty much get a used 580 for this price, I'd suggest looking on FS/FT forums. That will have 1.5gb of vram and should be enough for 1080p.

It's not that I don't trust people here, but I just enjoy that open a new box feeling, ya know?

Why spend that kind of money on such an old card when better stuff is so close. 7950 will blow either of those away and kepler mid range parts might not be far off. If you dont need a card now I would wait.

 

[Buckeye269]

I would wait for Kepler, but I've been waiting for months. I would rather buy now and SLI when card prices fall because of Kepler being released.

understandable wasnt trying to derail your thread just curious about you reasoning.

 

[Buckeye269]

Yeah i know, Sometimes I question my reasoning too. I'm seriously torn between these two cards. I could spend that $35 on games at a later date, or I could future proof and get the slower 2gb card.

for 1080p, stick with the 1280mb a regular gtx 570 offers and just find the cheapest one and overclock it. I wouldn't buy an overclocked card unless it was cheaper than the rest.

Between those two cards, get this one... http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130595

The cooler on the on other one is not as good and noisier. It's basically a GTX 560 cooler on a GTX 570.

+1 to this. Indeed if you don't want to wait the 570 is the best option. An overclocked one comes close to the 580 stock.
