This is yet another thread on the above 4 cards.
Right now in Canada there is a "sale"
Galaxy GTX570 732MHz, 3.8Ghz $239
Gigabyte GTX560Ti 448 $259 regular price,probs go down to $229 soon
XFX 6950 $229
Various 7850s $259 regular price, also down to $229 soon
Since they are all about the same price, which one do you recommend I get? I know the geforces have 1.2Gb which is not as future proof as the 2gb 6940 or 7850. However, which ones are better stock and which ones perform better when OCed?
If all of them are stock, what is the hierarchy of fastness between these cards?
Oh yes, I bought an IB, if PCI 3.0 ever factors into this discussion
Also, another thing to take into consideration is that when I look for deals on a certain card, eg a 6950, I get the cheapest one no matter which dealer it came from (except powercolour), is that a bad way to go about things? I mean why pay $50 more for a card with a super cooler if you not gonna overclock like a boss?
