by perfomance wise and clockwise and memory wise which r better from ithe following gpu?
my mobo is 2.0 compliant
from the followin gpu's r suitable to my mobo

Nvidia Geforce GTX:-
580
560
560 Ti
550
550 Ti
460

TW3 is gonna release next yr
so i want to make sure before buying...and i m gonna buy it next yr
Please suggest some info regarding this ?

sry for my bad englishthanx for the trouble !!!!!

If you're buying next year, you should wait and see what is in the market next year. Prices should have come down on the 600 series (Kepler), the 700 (Kepler refresh) series is going to be available, and the Maxwell series might be available by the time you are ready to buy.

The ones you mention are all Fermi series; they're already a generation behind the 600's. If you're buying new, now or next year, you should strongly consider the 600's instead.

The 460 is obsolete, but it still may be available as a surplus or used card. If I were on a strict budget and choosing between a 460 and a 550Ti, I'd still take the 460.

The 550Ti is a mid-range card, not a high-performance card suitable for running the most demanding games.

The 560Ti is a step up from the 450, 550Ti, 460, and 560. It's a very popular card; a lot of members here use it.

The 570 and 580 were nVidia's flagship GPUs back in 2010-2011. They're still formidable pieces of Big Iron.

But the better Keplers (660Ti, 670, 680) are as powerful or more so than the whole Fermi (400, 500) series.

Unless you're on a tight budget, I couldn't recommend anything less than the 660Ti for a new, big upgrade. In the US, 660Ti cards are now widely available for less than $300.

Also, Kepler cards (600 series) introduced a significant lowering of power consumption. So consider them, rather than Fermi series.

I would never buy anything other then 7970 or GTX 680. I say there is no rush buying it now wait 6-8 months and try looking for some deals or perhaps get it used. Dont buy anything lower then that if you are planning on using it for another 2 years or so.

For NVidia cards you should carefully consider the second digit of the number. First digit means the generation of the graphics adapter and the second digit means it's power. Usually, x8x adapters of the previous generations are more powerful than x6x adapters of next couple of generations but might miss some new features. For example, 580 most likely will be more powerful than 760, but 760 might have some graphical features unavailable on 5xx generation of video adapters. Usually buying older powerful adapters is not a problem because games don't usually support the newest features anyway. For gaming never buy x6x video adapters if you don't want poor performance in general.

thnx for the reply
but 600 series GPU dnt fit to my mobo
bcoz my mobo can afford PCI-e 2.0 GPU

[RSIK4]

i m not gonna change my pc configuration upto 2015
and i m gonna wait for TW3
after its release i will buy newer graphic card

[RSIK4]

my mobo is msi 785G E-53
and its says 2.0 compliant..
.thats the problem
can PCI-E 3.0 GPU could run on my mobo ??

All PCI-e`s are backwards compatible and will work . Meaning that a PCI-e 3.0 will work in a PCI-e 2.0 environment and a 2.0 will work in a 1.0 environment . The card may not perform as well as it could on the slower slot speed .

[M4xw0lf]

I have no idea about the price situation in india, but in "euroland" ( ) AMD has the better performance per dollar. Apart from that I'd also recommend that you ask again next year when you're about to buy your new card. The GPU-market is a short-lived one... even though right now there's not much movement.

Same...

Already have a high-end PC, and my GTX670 should be able to handle everything for some time to come, probably even Witcher 3. I'm sure Titan or the 690 will be way cheaper by that time.

[gaurdian]

I'd recommend gtx 670 for now.
It's a combination of great performance and reasonable price. but it's price is surly going to drop in the following 6 month.
Maybe the best choice is wait.

The only exception is PCI-e 1.0a (the early PCI-e boards); these are often not compatible with newer cards.

Yours is not a problem. It will take PCI-e 3.0 cards just fine.

[Geralt The Riv]

PCI-e 2.0 vs 3.0 has shown very little if any difference on most games and systems. As far as to the gentleman saying the x6x is not powerful enough I have to disagree. I have 2 660ti cards and I crush a single 680. I have mine overclocked a tad via EVGA Precision Software and I have plenty of room to go for the next 2 years. In fact I will upgrade my MB and CPU when the new Intel Haswell arrives this June. I will also get another 660ti for 3 way SLI and that set up beats even 2 680s in SLI in 95% of the case/time/game etc....

I will have less than $900.00 to achieve very high end GPU capabilities

I know people will shout but you will have Micro-stutter with sli setups. I have yet to suffer from this phenomena with 2 cards and 3 cards have even less issues.

Just my take on the subject. I am happy with my set up as I am aware so are the guys eho have a 680 or a single titan card. That just shows there is more than one way to skin a cat

[Gilrond]

SLI is expensive, since it eats tons of energy. Don't forget, you don't just pay for the card - you also need to pay for electricity. Any kind of overclocking will make you pay more as well. So I'd say unless you work on some heavy parallelism with OpenCL / CUDA using an SLI is a serious overkill for any gaming.

Regarding ATI/AMD vs Nvidia one thing should also be mentioned - way better Linux support by Nvidia. AMD simply doesn't put as much resources in their drivers development as Nvidia does.

This is true on 2.0 being on 1.0 interface but not for 3.0 running on 2.0.
3.0 is just a marketing propaganda, no configuration maximizes 2.0 just yet so there is no difference.

Just out of curiosity,

How much would a High end/Top-of-the-line PC cost in 2014?
What's your estimation?
(Desktop, Windows 8/Blue, monitor excluded)


Thanks.

[Gilrond]

CPU will be around $300. GPU is around $500. The rest can vary (case, PSU, motherboard, memory, harddrives and etc.). So I'd say $800+ for sure.

Any exciting and relevant hardware coming out in the next year or so?
