wow, didn't expect it to be this one-sided..
alright, gtx 570- should i go for the 370$ superclocked or stock 350$? i'm gonna oc anyway, but is the SC worth it binning-wise, or is that just an urban myth/doesn't matter? |
|
HD 6950 does not have the GPU power to use 2GB because by the time a game does the GPU itself will not do good so memory would not help at all. The good about the RAM is if you RUN eyefinity. Also in CF or Tri-Fire there will be 2 or 3 GPUs only using 2GB so it will help. Here in Canada i would pick HD 6950 before since its ~ 60$ cheaper.

Core is a bit weak but no voltage support yet and that's the maximum it can do

I hear a 1GB model is coming out soon. If it's priced well i may return mine and get it, but it does 850 core and 6Ghz! on the memory Core is a bit weak but no voltage support yet and that's the maximum it can do ![]() I think if i lower memory clocks a bit i can go higher on the core :| (gone offtopic here :v) |

Just go for the stock one. Afaik EVGA don't even bin their cards anymore (at least not wtih Fermi). Not really worth the $20 extra.
