Radeon HD 6850 1gb or GTX 550ti 2gb?

[Wrobichaud]

I'm building my new gaming/editing PC soon, and I was wondering which of them is better overall? At first I jumped at the 550ti as its 2gb, but then I seen it was only 192 bit and the 6850 is 256 bit? So which overall is best?

Here are the two I'm looking at: 6850 550ti

Thanks!

The 6850 would be faster. You'd have to go for a 560 to match a 6850.

So overall even with less memory the 6850 would be better?

 

[claptonman]

Yes. Out of the two, I would choose the 6850 every time.

if you haven't ordered, better brand and better rebate.
