[Solved] 560 Ti compare - any help is appreciated!

Hello everyone,

First, thanks for your help, second I apologize this topic has been covered in many different ways but you will have to excuse my idiocy I need everything on one page it seems cause I spent all last night reading different info and benchmarks and I dont really understand what I'm reading lol! So I just need someone to point and say "get that one you cant go wrong!" lol. Also I have never overclocked which seems to make a big difference on choosing a brand and such from what i read. I may be wrong so dont hold me to it . I would prefer "out of box" performance so I dont blow up my pc lol but if i need to OC i guess i can learn! btw i would be playing skyrim/bf3/assasins creed/batman.

Ok now with that out of the way im gonna be getting the card here in the next day or two, what i picked out is based on nothing soley except its a 560 ti which seems to be the best bang for the buck. I included a image snipet of a comparison chart i had up, hope it works, also included links just in case.

So thats about it whew! Thank you all again for your help. Oh, im gonna end up getting a new psu as my current one is only 400w so i dont have a particular wattage i can give as a base, ill just get what i need based on what you awesome people tell me to get!

The EVGA is factory overclocked and EVGA is the best brand.

One of the Galaxy cards you posted is a 560ti-448 cores which is a different GPU than the 560ti since, well, it has 448 cores instead of 384.

i agree with dm186. the 448 core would be the fastest option available.

If you can afford the Galaxy 448 core model, that would be the way to go. That's actually a pretty good price for a 448 core. It also comes with more memory which will come in handy for some of the newer games. The new Skyrim Hi Resolution pack and BF3 definitely will make use of the extra memory.

Thank you all very much, very helpful! galaxy it is. Thanks!

I just read a few reviews of the Galaxy GTX 560 Ti (also the KFA2 GTX 560 Ti's are made by Galaxy), and it seems like a pretty good card with a good aftermarket cooler. You ought to be able to overclock it by quite a bit, if you decide that you want to play around with overclocking.
