ATI Radeon HD 5570 or Nvidia GTS 250, which is better?
11 replies, posted
I'm going to be getting a new desktop soon, although I recently bought a GTS 250 Nvidia card for my now broken desktop, though the card is still ready to rock and roll. The new one I'm looking at has a HD 5570 Radeon in it. I'm not sure wether to replace the Radeon, or keep it. Any ideas on which one is better?
GTS 250 is generally better
isnt GTS a downclocked version ?

that was true when they were using the four number naming system, but not anymore.
ok but the HD5770 is better than the GTS because it has dx 11 etc

DX11 is pretty irrelevant right now. Especially since OP is going for a card that can't handle any DX11 (or probably any DX10) games at decent framerates
No its not and if the op is smart he would choose the HD5770 just because of the fact that its much newer cheaper and makes you ready when you want to play some dx11 for example Call of Pripyat which has dx11.

5570 :colbert:.
from what I have read the 5570 is basically a 4670 with DX11, go for the GTS250.
Yeah, 5570 is entry level gaming.
The 250 is basically a 9800GTX+, which is Nvidia's competitor to the 4850, which is substantially faster than the 4670...which makes the 250 substantially faster than the 5570.

And do you have any clue on how useless the 5570 would be when playing an actual DX11 game?
