Rahvin Posted June 2, 2011 Posted June 2, 2011 I'm currently looking at a number of cards in this range, GTX560Ti's and HD 6950, and I'm having a hard time deciding which to stick into my next machine. The GTX560Ti stock is relatively silent (less noisy than my current GTX260 at least), while the stock HD6950 can apparently get pretty noisy under load. That's where the custom cards come in. The 560 has plenty of overclocked cards, and there's even a 2 GB variant (though apparently it doesn't OC well) My main criterium is good performance, OC potential (or works OC) and above all relatively silent operation, especially when mounted vertically (Fortress FT03 case) Triple slot is somewhat of a hindrance, but I've been looking at the gainward phantoms, the MSI power edition and hawk, as well as the powercolor pcs+ and the ASUS Cu-whatever. My current favourite is probably the hawk, but triple screening might make 2GB useful. I've been reading a bunch of reviews, but found nothing that really put together a nice comparison of all the custom cards, so I'd really like to hear experiences (and performance reports) with cards in this range. Thanks!
