I'm still stumped on what graphics card to buy,
Does anyone here use the GTX 560 and think it's a great card to game on?
BTW: I want to play BF3 & Skyrim on the highes damn settings, I'm a huge graphics addict and I want my PC to be great. :v:
But I don't want to spend half of my building money on one, how about this?:

I'd rather suggest a gigabyte if you want to spend less

or the twin frozr, as the cooler is superb

It will max skyrim with ease, and will also run bf3 maxed, albeit not on a stable 60, but surely it will still be an enjoyable experience, and you could just as well just ramp down a few settings and run it flawlessly.

If the Twin Frozr is basically the same performance but the cooler is much better for slightly more, I might just get that, seems like it would be great. :) Thanks
All the 560ti's, granted being non OC'd versions on paper perform equally, but with the variable of the cooler being better, resulting in better cooling and better performance and overclocking capability. The twinfrozr is afaik one of the better coolers, it is by far the most recommended cooler for the 560ti as it is of now.
The twin frozr 560 ti Brent linked is a very nice card and can be OC'd to higher clocks compared to some cards and almost close to the specs of a 570, But if you were about to spend $280 on a 560 ti and you don't feel like overclocking yourself you surely could spend the extra $60 and buy a 570.

[QUOTE=Zerokateo;33502405]The MSI twin frozr 560 ti brent linked is a very very nice GPU and can probably be OC'd to some pretty high specs compared to other cards, But if you are willing to pay almost $280 for the 560 ti you linked then I would highly suggest getting a 570 for $60 more IF you can do it [url]http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593[/url]
Again you don't have to get it but if you could spend the extra $60 compared to that $280 card you linked you could get some pretty sweet performance and when the newer GPU's come out and you need more power the 570's will be cheaper and you can SLI them. Again you don't have to do this but its an option.[/QUOTE]
Worst composition of a text that I've seen in quite a good while.
560ti with the twinfrozr, when overclocked can perform close to a 570 on stock clocks, albeit the 570 can of course also be very much overclocked. Ask yourself if you'll need that extra performance. An overclocked 560ti will mash through bf3 with ease anyhow. You pretty much get what you pay for.
If you're looking to spend as least as possible and still have the same performace, go with a HD 6870. It's a little better than a 560 and pretty much matches the 560 ti's performance.

But lacks good drivers and all the perks of owning a Nvidia card (CUDA, PhysX, 3D Vision etc)

He's looking at 560 Ti's, he just didn't put the Ti on the end in the title. Read the thread before you post.

He didn't once mention the ti and the only thing I didn't read was the link as I presumed it was a standard 560..

The links are very relevant to the discussion of the thread, don't try and act like your post was good just because he never said Ti. The first thing you should be doing when you enter the thread is reading the OP and clicking the link to the product he is thinking of purchasing.

I was only a suggestion.

Yeah that was pretty bad, It was 6 in the morning so I'll go fix that real quick.

No need, the post was shit anyhow.
And no need to post again just to tell people that you will edit it, because frankly speaking, I doubt that anyone here gives a flying fuck.
Hypocritical reply, but w/e.

If you're getting a twin frozr 560 ti just get the cheapest one and overclock it yourself, pretty easy with MSI afterburner.
Wow, I actually forgot to put Ti in the title, I am so sorry D:
I understand the argument missing Ti in the title, but that is all my fault so none of you are actually wrong. :)
But anyways, you guys helped me a SH-- load so I'm probably going to purchase it.
Thanks for help guys. :D

Also I don't want to use the HD 6870 because I'm not as familiar with the cards as Nvidias, I will always prefer Nvidia no matter what.
And what K1ngo64 said, the drivers are far better on Nvidia.

Far better is an overstatement. They're better, but I wouldn't have bought a 580 instead of my 6970 only on the basis of driver quality.
That's irrelevant because the 560 Ti competes with the 6950 1GB, so getting the 6870 would have been silly.
