Vazorath Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 Which GPU is better for this game? And can someone create a build around which GPU they think is better? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AmishMarauder Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I buy from both brands but for the money the 6950 is the one to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cloudmighty Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 (edited) I've used both, Nvidia drivers/software always seem to manage better than AMD in my experience. If you're looking at pure performance, they're pretty much equal. You're only likely to see some minor differences in benchmarking. I'm using 6950 2gb atm and in swtor the shadows bug-out my FPS (games fault, not the card) every other game I can have games maxed out with 60FPS constant without any issues. That said, the 6950 is a tad cheaper and makes more sense to buy. Just remember to get the 2GB version that's been pumped up a bit. The MSI Frozr III is a good buy for the extra £15. Good luck! =) Edit: My Specs FYI: i5 2500K (OC @ 4.6Ghz) 8GB DDR3 (1600Mhz) Edited December 25, 2011 by Cloudmighty Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morhir Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 As mentioned bang per buck the 6950 is a brilliant card. I had to way up the choice myself. I run mine with everything on full at 1920x1200 and its perfect. The MSI mentioned has a small overclock which brings it more in line with the nvidia card mentioned. If not super-seeding it in some tests. The MSI I got a few weeks ago came with a redeem code for Dirt 3 as well, not sure if that helps sweeten the deal but a free game is a free game and Dirt is a good racer.

Highcommander Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I have two 560ti's in my build. ONE of those runs the game at full settings max everything and gives me about 110 frames per second everywhere..... you really cant go wrong with that card.

DonPulle Posted December 25, 2011 Share Posted December 25, 2011 I run SWTOR with 1 GTX560Ti and i have all on max and no lags. Concerning the above comment about the price, u can check every forum 560Ti gives u more value for money. I can recommend MSI GTX560Ti (2GB version if u are running Full HD) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vazorath Posted December 26, 2011 Author Share Posted December 26, 2011 Darn, I was hoping it wouldn't be so even. Half of you say 560Ti and the other half say 6950. Ugh, I hate deciding on my own Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarthSiricus Posted December 26, 2011 Share Posted December 26, 2011 Can't go wrong with either really. Get whatever you can find for less. I'm using a 6950 1GB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
