Question on 560ti vs 7850 (maybe alex can chime in

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version

   Hello,

on the config screen we have:

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 560 Ti 1GB (PhysX Technology) (Overclocked EVGA 01G-P3-1563-BR)

and for $17 more I can get the 7850.

For games like diablo 3, dota 2, starcraft 2 expansion, would the $17 upgrade be worth it?

Now normally I would say yes the upgrade is worth it to get the 7850, but I could not but notice it says that the 560 ti is overclocked. 

Now i know DS does not like to auto overclock the vid card for customers because it will wear out the card faster.

So my questions are:

1. Is the 560ti offered going to be auto overclocked?

2. Is the 560ti EVGA brand 100%? (since it was stated as such in the configurator)

3. and if so, would the overclocked ONE GB version of the 560ti be better than the non overclcoked 7850 with TWO GB???

just wondering

thank you!

	I can't say which is better. I can point out that the 560ti supports PhysX which BF3 uses. IMO I would run with the 560ti http://www.bit-tech.net/hardware/2012/03/05/amd-radeon-hd-7850-2gb/4
