GTX 560ti 2Gb v 1Gb?

[SEE]

I currently have a 560ti 1Gb (oc'd version) installed but notice that the GeForce 2Gb versions have fallen in price quite a lot. I was thinking of selling my 1Gb even though its relatively new and getting the 2Gb version.

Does anyone have the 560ti 2Gb or comments to make about them regards the different vendor types as the prices vary alot?

Great card quiet and powerful, of course the rest of your system could bottle neck at some point depending on what's in your box CPU and PSU wise.

Here's mine

Thanks KG26- I ordered the 'Palit 560ti 2Gb' as it was availalable new from Amazon for just £174 (inc express delivery). I assume that it should perform well even though its not a GeForce.

The one I have installed is the ASUS 560ti 1GB which comes oc'd out of the box. I read a few reviews where the 2GB versions didn't show much gain over the 1GB but CloD seems to be the exception based on what I have read on the forum so went ahead anyway......

What is the correct installation procedure regards Driver installation when swapping Card using the same GFX chipset but different vendors and VRAM?

(I am guessing that I need to uninstall the current driver before swapping the card and re-installing from the supplied disc - followed by any Nvidea Drvr updates.)

Would be very interested in benchmarks between the two cards on the same system when you receive it

while it is not necessary (after all, you are swapping one 560ti for another with just more ram), it can be advisable at times to do it. if you installed the nvidia driver, you won´t need to reinstall, as that driver contains not just the information for your specific card, but for almost all other geforce GPUs as well. if you have installed a manufacturers driver, then you will have to reinstall all drivers, as it is highly likely, that the provided driver had been "tuned" to fit the cards need.

Thanks for the reply FFCW_, I originally installed the driver supplied on Disc but since then installed the latest Nvidea drivers.

As for Bench Marking, I suppose I ought to do some comparisons using the Black Death Track but my system is probably not best to test one against the other.

Seems I didn't read the ad correctly....damn! .

I placed an order for a 2GB 560 but it is not the ti version. The latter is about £30 more but not sure wether to cancel it, pay the extra or go with it since a lot of the reviews say that a standard 560 oc'd performs reasonably well. I only ever envisage running at max res of 1920 x 1080 (when the game is fixed!) and sticking with my current 24in 1080i monitor.

Ah well, will think about it over the weekend but any comments would sure be useful to help me decide......

I would save cash for 6 more months and get gtx580 1.5. or 3gb when they get cheaper because newgen nVidia cards would be out.

Let me see if I can think how you think...

Any little extra fps that draws nearer the chance of predicting Mr.X's trajectory for a long deflection shot is worth its weight in gold, right? LOL!


The 2Gb VRAM is going to give you a lot more eye candy without any impact on the fps (the fps practicaly halves when your VRAM reached its capacity and your GPU starts swapping data from the main memory or, even worse, the hard disk...). That is good!

But you need more for what you have in mind!

Since you commited the money, pay the additional 30 and get the good version of the 560ti. I have read in some reviews that the new version is very near to the performance of the GTX570.


So my comment, pay and get the good one.

~S~

PS. I solved my problem otherwise; I fly blue so I do not have to fly against Kosedub ROFL!

I never touch Palit products.

They may be an OEM manufacturer, but I prefer the RMA service from my suppliers to be reliable.
