which would be better from Gigabyte GTX 560Ti or ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB

[Damned 2]

I like to play games on my desktop. So that’s why I always upgrade my desktop in every six months or in a year, because there are so much which is newly launched and all this games are played on new configuration of computer. Recently I decided to upgrade only my graphics card not the whole CPU. So that’s I have gather information about graphics card and I got two different manufacturers of graphics card. Gigabyte GTX 560Ti and ATI Radeon HD 6950 2GB among these graphics card I’m confused which graphics card I choose. So friends I here need your help. Please help me.

I will suggest you that you go for Gigabyte because it is cheaper than ATI. I’m judging Gigabyte on just piece of paper and I read good review about gigabyte. Gigabyte GTX 560ti is better than 6950 and performs closer to 6950. You said that you mostly like to play newly launched games and all this games sifgnificantly favors Nvidia cards games like PhysX games(metro 2033, mafia 2 etc). if you compared both their clocks then GTX 560 comes at 900-950 MHz or above and in ATI you will get only 800 MHz

You lose the PhysX games because for these games Nvidia is first choice for many of those games. If you go for overclock the GTX 560 and Nvidia graphics card have better scaling because while over clocking the shading speed is set at 2x the core speed, while comparing to ATI shades are clocked at 1x the clock speed. Gigabyte GTX 560Ti utilizes convention PCB and practice voltage controllers which brings down capacity use from PSU and keeps things cool while still transporting exhibition you could anticipate. Gigabyte GTX 560Ti additionally gives you the "Afterburner" programming which is a fabulous utility to overclock, screen temperatures, and you name it. It does a mess of things but doesn't confound you too much in respect to what to do.

The illustrations card extending betwixt 200 and 250 Euros, there are no lack of decision, suggestions are Radeon HD 6950 and GeForce GTX 560 Ti. With the entry of the overclocked forms of the GTX 560 and the 6950 form with just 1 GB, more rivalry is lashing out. The mid-extend representation cards has stupendously expedited in familiar months. Following encountering challenging times in 2010 with its Fermi was well gotten by Nvidia GeForce 5xx out that admitting that just the GeForce 4xx modified nevertheless irrevocably satisfy anticipations. While devouring remains heightened but is now upheld by cooling frameworks ready to hold this elevated wattage scattering upheld. Hence, the GTX 560 Ti approached mischief ATI in an absolutely bearer of the card whose cost extends among 200 and 250 Euros.

AMD's Radeon progression 5000 was frightful and somewhat befuddled. The Radeon 6850 and 6870 were shocked by an exchange name which inferred higher display than the 5800 but it was not the case. This part was devoted to the Radeon 6950 and 6970 which absolutely got a higher level than the 5800 but not dramatically. Furthermore, being provided with 2 GB of memory, the bargain cost is affected and yet few amusements that can profit from quite an impressive amount of GDDR5. This has pushed AMD discharged a Radeon HD 6950 with a gigabyte of memory, the point being to bring down the cost challenging a furious GeForce GTX 560.
