upgrade from gtx285/1gb v-ram to gtx 560 2gb v-ram
 

Hi Mates!

Does anyone have experience in upgrading from a gtx 285 with 1 gb v-ram to a gtx 560 with 2 gb v-ram! After reading the thread in this forum,i am more or less convinced, that a newer card will do the job much better than my actual older one, especially with the 1gb more video ram!

Is it worth or not, that`s the question...???

Thanks for your replies,

There is a full video from TUCKIE who changed his GTX285 to a GTX580 and needless to say it was an amazing performance inmprovement.

I do not think there something comparing the cards you mentionned.
But you should try to find out what the difference in Dix10 performance between the GTX285 and the GTX560 is.
I presume it will be significant and this will give you a good hint on whether it is worthwhile or not.

In terms of VRAM, your new card will have 2Gb and this will make a huge improvement in performance compared to your GTX285.

~S~

PS1. It goes without saying that you are using Win7-64bit right? Otherwise your 2Gb VRAM will drasticaly limit your RAM to 2GB avalable if you are using a 32bit system.

PS2. What kind of avatar is this! I would be expecting a windsurfing or a kitesurfing one if you live in this place you lucky bugger....

Hi and thx for your reply. I think I`ll wait a little bit more just for the gtx 570 with 2 gb v-ram! Depending on what is coming first: Money or christmas!^^
AT least when i go to "big" with the grafic, the discrepance to the cpu is too big!
Yes I`m have win 7 64bit running!

The next step is a new MoBo for overclocking the cpu!

But this is depending of the status of the game, future shows...

Greets,
