560ti or the HD7850?

[TJoshX]

Real simple... I'm looking to finish piecing together a moderate PC gaming build. Now that the HD7850 has been released is it better to go that direction over the 560ti?

Thanks

I'm looking at this one specifically...

What resolution do you play at?

The 7850 beats it every time. And its less than the 560ti 2GB, so if you play at 1080x1920 or higher, I'd suggest the 7850. If less than 1080, I'd get the 560ti 448 core.

Ideally at 1080p assuming the game supports it. I'll get the HD7850.

What is the benefit though over 448 core NVIDEAs vs the lower cores?

It's faster, its like the difference between a 7870 and a 7970. Just processes information faster, which leads to better fps.

But again:

The 448 beats it in one benchmark, and at 1080p, you'll want that extra .75GB of Vram. I'd still say go for the 7850.
