| 773798 | 2009-05-14 22:21:00 | You can't compare them like that junkie - the 275 has more stream processors, faster core clock, more memory bandwidth, as well as a couple of other things. The GTX 260OC with 216 stream processors is a good card. www.tweakpc.de theres a comparison, the page is kind of in german but at least you can see the charts. If you get a 260, don't go for the 192 stream processors one, make sure you get the 216.

| 773799 | 2009-05-14 23:10:00 | I might get struck off for saying this on here, but if you have a look in the April edition of Aus PC Authority. There is a latest graphics card review, 22 cards tested. | Driftwood (5551) | ||
| 773800 | 2009-05-14 23:21:00 | Work out which one is the best balance of price/performance for your needs. I'd say the performance is in the following order, best to worst: GTX275 4890 GTX260 216SP 4870 |

| 773801 | 2009-05-14 23:59:00 | the gtx 260 has 896mb ram and is $380.23 the gtx 275 also has 896mb ram but is $496.35 i'd go for the GTX260 So your criteria is cheap. Mine is performance, then budget. The 275 is a better performing card, and not massively more so of the 2 I'd take that. Make an informed decision: www.tomshardware.com |
