GPU upgrade

**Warflagon** · 12-22-12, 07:57 PM

Any recommendations for a GPU upgrade? Have an I7 860 with a GT 240, so anything on the market would probably be an improvement.
Using this as a guide, Best PCIe Card : $115 To $170 : December 2012.

Can anyone point at a comparable list?

Thanks, hoping to get some cash in my xmas wrap this year

Not really true. Their lower price cards aren't that bad, actually. But in this case, it looks like between those 3 cards, the GTX 560 is still the best card of the bunch.

I didn't find the cheaper GTX 560 SE on any benchmarks, but they had the regular GTX 560, which is still about $30 less than the ti version.

This card blows away the 650ti and the 7770.

I had an i7-920 and the GTX260 then GTX570. The 570 was an improvement but held back by the 920 processor. Now with the GTX570 and i5-3570k, I feel I have much better GPU/CPU balance (B3 multiplayer hammers the CPU) and higher frame rates.
