Which GPU?

[gibbs007]

I'm trying to decide between these graphic cards:
GTX 570 1280MB = 250€GeForce GTX560 Ti 448 1280MB = 225€
Geforce GTX560 Ti 2GB = 220€
or HD7850 = probably around 230-240€
I've seen benchmarks, and in most of them 570 is in front, but 7850 is supposed to overclock very well.

To me, no brainer for 7850 due to getting nearly same performance but most modern GPU and lower thermals.

Looking at Anand's benchmarks, It looks like the 7850 and the 570 trade small leads here and there, with the exception of temperature and power consumption, which the 7850 does very well compared to the 570, and a small handful of the gaming benchmarks, where the 570 gets about ten more fps.

Just judging on that, i would likely go with the 7850. Although, i haven't the slightest idea of its overclocking potential.

Particularly BF3 does better on the nVidia cards.

What's the roadmap for nVidia's next gen cards? I read 680 comes out very soon, but what about the $200-$275 cards?

The 680 won't be out so soon. The weaker ones come in a few weeks.

I'd wait until kepler hits, hopefully that will force prices down. The new generation has so far offered no improvements in price/performance over the last.

At stock the GTX 570 is a bit faster.

But the 7850 does 25-30% overclock at stock volts and with 100% performance scaling, so an overclocked 7850 is nearly as good as a GTX 580 and the GTX 570 can't even compete, not even after overclocking to a reasonable level with the stock cooler.

I would anyday recommend the 7850, not even a chance for the GTX 570.
