Hi AnandTech members, I am in the process of choosing a GPU and require some assistance in deciding which way to go.
Firstly my requirements are as follows:
Just a bit of background, I'm in South Africa, so the options I present might seem strange from a price point of view, but alas these are my options that I have come up with after extensive research of our local online retailers and one direct supplier I have access to.
Great so long story short, I have access to the following two cards who are at the moment almost identically priced, but I am struggling to make I final choice:
1. GTX 570 (Generic / Reference model)
2. ASUS HD 6950 Direct CUII
Just to throw a curve ball in, if someone can really truly help me justify this, for around 20% more I can pick up an ASUS HD 6970 Direct CUII, but not sure it's worth it.
Any help in making this decision easier would be greatly appreciated. 🙂
Firstly my requirements are as follows:
- 1080P Gaming
- 2-3 Years
(With the second point I mean, which GPU will serve me best for the next 2-3 Years. I am under no illusion that any of the GPU's in my price range will keep running games at max for that long, I purely want the one that would best serve me over that period.)
