HeyAlex Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 (edited) First off I'd like to start it with that I bought some stuff for my computer! hurray!(planned to buy these last year) I bought these: Steel Series 3H(sucked balls so I bought siberia V2 much more comfy..) GTX 560 + 700W supplier(It was on a sale! both for 200$!) Got my self a new keyboard, Razer Lycosa(normal one, mirror sucks) Waiting for my G500 and Goliathus Control mouse pad to arrive.. Question time, what is better in GTX 560 TI than GTX 560 non TI( Only stuff that really matter.) If I have a 17"(think so) screen, that works with maximum resolution of 1280x1024, will I be able to play on the following games on High or atleast Medium smoothly with no fps drops or fps lower then 50 if my major parts are these, Intel Core 2 Q8400,GTX 560,4GB Ram, running on Windows 7 Ultimate 32bit(Couldn't get the 64bit one) Games are(Important ones are bold with underline): BattleField 3 Metro 2033 Dead Island Darkness 2 Counter Strike Source- I know this is stupid to ask but I'm currently using 9500GT and the GTX 560 gets installed only next week but, when I play CSS right now I have 80-100fps and it doesn't run smoothly on the screen, it looks like there are small drops every few seconds from like 100fps to 10fps for a milli second it is just disturbing to watch in the eye.. Btw planning to get a new motherboard and i7 next year :] and for those who really care about grammer, sorry if I made any mistakes :] not my native language.

Never trust a hippie Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 The GeForce GTX 560 Ti is pitted against AMD's Radeon HD 6950 1 GB. So, this new product(the non-TI) is destined to do battle with the slightly cheaper Radeon HD 6870, a card that exists for roughly $200 online. Nvidia disables a single Streaming Multiprocessor (SM). The GeForce GTX 560 operates using seven of GF114's eight SMs. http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-560-amp-edition-gtx-560-directcu-ii-top,2944.html Overclocking could probably unlock that locked SM but I'm not into heating up parts unnecessarily so I don't know much about OCing. It would also void any warranty. When you buy, ask yourself: Will this part still be good in 5 years. If the answer is no I would try and save for something better.

HeyAlex Posted February 16, 2012 Author Share Posted February 16, 2012 The thing is, you still didn't answer the other questions, though I only need it to be good for about 3 years, because then, I will finish school and I wont play as much as I play right now, so I want 3 years of really good fun, even though the diffrence is that I coudl've bought GTX 560 TI and 550w for about 300-400$(price in my country) so I rather get this deal :l Please answer the other questions about the 1280x1024 graphics on high, will it run smoothly or not?(Smoothly means a minimum of 50 fps) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If its some of the source games like CSS/Gmod or possible CS:GO then it will run smoothly but stuff thats crazy about its graphics like Mass Effect seiries or Battlefield 3 i cant give any promisses i read the benchmarks for the Video Card and saw that Metro2033 hit 100 fps in 1280x1024 on very high so im sure it will run smoothly on other games but still no promises http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/geforce-gtx-560-amp-edition-gtx-560-directcu-ii-top,2944-8.html Edited February 17, 2012 by ExGBrian Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeyAlex Posted February 18, 2012 Author Share Posted February 18, 2012 It said on NVIDIA.com that GTX 560 will run on high on about 43-46fps on 1640x1280 or somthing alike.. So I was thinking will it work smoothly on 50 fps or more on 1280x1024 but thanks for the answer about Metro Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BranHorse Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 Remeber everyone he isnt playing at high res which makes a huge difference. 560 should be fine for all those games on high. I say you made a solid purchase for what you paid. As long as the psu isnt from a shitty brand Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plaayer Posted February 20, 2012 Share Posted February 20, 2012 The GTX 560Ti will do you good for quite a bit of time. Good pick for the power supply and the card for $200 dollars. At 1280x1024, you are completely fine at playing most games at high or better settings. My GTX 460 can easily run BF3 at 1080p on high (with some settings on ultra) at a good 60-70 fps, which is perfect for a 60hz monitor.
