Which is more worthwhile: a Geforce 460, or a 560?
November 6th, 2013
I sold a 460 to buy a 560ti, never looked back, well worth it.
560TI know a few people with the card and are very happy with it.
Budget?
Yea man, if your going to buy a gaming card, get one worth while.
nVidia Geforce GTX 560 Ti
What does the Ti stand for?

Its the abbreviation for the element Titanium on the periodic table.
It means its better =D

Games like BF3 require insane amounts of frame buffer. The GTX 560 Ti 2GB is more expensive than a 6950 2GB and they are pretty much the same with the 6950 edging it out in some situations. I have a 570 SLI setup and I can’t max the AA in the game at my resolution because I don’t have the framebuffer (1.25GB is too little for BF3 at high resolutions).
Would it matter if I got a 560 that’s not a Ti? I mean, what’s the disadvantage and advantage of having a Ti card?

The Ti is a better card.
If you wish to buy a Graphics card then consult the chart below and try to buy a card as high in the chart as possible by your budget. Before you buy a new card, make sure that your case and power supply can accommodate it.
If the above chart is NOT showing then kindly use the link below

Also make sure your drivers are updated to the latest version.
You can also try using softwares Like Game Booster.

At the moment my PSU is a 650w Corsair TX. It meets the requirements for most of the cards. However, even without overclocking, and the fact that it needs to spread to other components inside the computer… I’m guessing it won’t be enough for a 560… let alone a 550 if I were to draw back a bit.
A TX650 is more than enough for a 560 Ti. You can even do SLI with PLENTY of juice to spare. Don’t worry about it.

But wouldn’t 2 SLI’d cards equal up to 700-800 watts of power? The PSU will be underpowered from that amount…
DragonLS replied: Where did you hear that? That’s completely false. A GTX 560 Ti SLI setup with any CPU cannot near 700W of power consumption. A single 560 Ti will run fine with a 450W. People like to over-exaggerate on PSUs. You’re welcome to do as much research on this as you wish.-paroxysM^ replied: A TX650 is more than enough for a 560 Ti.

I see… I wasn’t aware. It’s just that a friend of mine said that while a 650w was a mid-to-high PSU, it wouldn’t be able to match up for SLI performance with the higher-tier cards, since the power consumption would be shared with other components. aka CPU performance and the fans and etc…
GET a 560! I regret getting a 460.
Each 560TI will use around 170W max alone provided its the reference design.
If its a decent power supply, you can do SLI at 650W no problems.
Cheap power supplies are quoted with peak power, so it wouldn’t last long.
