Ok currently my sig rig has SLI GTS 250's well im wanting to go to 1 card to free up pci slots and get rid of problems of recent nvidia drivers. :\ So i see a few GTX 460/GTX 550Ti/GTX 560's around... i heard that it goes like this...
stock:
GTX 560>GTX 460 > GTX 550Ti
-somehow that doesnt seem right to me. ^_^ please correct me if im wrong!
Overclocked:
GTX 460 > GTX 560 > GTX 550 Ti
so what is the better card to get? im not a HARDCORE gamer... but its time to give the GTS series cards a break. im going to sandy bridge and not planning on running these GTS cards for anything more than backup or PHYSX as well its seemingly easier to find a board with 1 16x slot rather than one that will do 16x on each slot. i will also be doing this mod here on whatever card i end up purchasing.
build plan is:
i5 2500k
ATX mobo - *need some ideas here as i prefer ATX for the slots unless the mATX is just too good to pass up
*
8-16GB ram - *due to video editing and some photoshop multitasking. :\
new 700w-1000w PSU *needs ideas here as well*
possibly a H100 for my i5 or modding this H50.
need some good feedback! upgrading from sig rig below.
