Which one is the most bang for my buck? Why is the gtx570 so much more $? What is the major difference between the cards when playing games??|||Why not go for a GTX 560 TI - they're like $20-30 more and somewhere in between.



The 570 is a premium card (well all the GTX series are) but the 560 are the entry level to the high end hence much cheaper - the 570/580 are the top end of the single GPU Nvidia lineup hence come at more of a premium.



For a rough comparision of what you listed and what i've suggested -

Chip - Cores - Core Clock - Shader Clock

GTX 570 - 480 Cores - 732 Mhz - 1464 Mhz

GTX 560 TI OC - 384 Cores - 900 Mhz - 1800 Mhz

GTX 560 - 336 Cores - 850 Mhz - 1700 Mhz



The TI i listed is http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.as… for $234 or you could go the Palit non OC version for $219 both of these cards offer excellent bang for buck.



In most games you likely won't notice a huge difference between any of these cards @ 1920 x 1080 with moderate AA settings and max detail. Put it this way I run a GTX 280 + GT220 (i7 875k, vertex 2 ssd, 12gb ram) driving 3 monitors and I haven't had to drop detail settings down much from maximum on any games, so any of these cards would be more than adequate.



The GTX 560 TI will run at 80%+ of the speed of the GTX 570 and the GTX 560 ~70%+ of the speed of the GTX 570.



At the moment graphics cards are insanely over powered for the jobs they're doing - high end cards are quite capable of rendering most games at 2 x 1920x1080 (1.5-2gb cards anyway) and having very playable frame rates. I would recommend going for the 560 TI if budget is a constraint. Those cards u listed both have a $20 mail in rebate atm by the looks :P might be worth considering the 570. Honestly though you will not be disappointed with any of the cards - they're all great - I haven't had the opportunity of testing a 560 but it would be roughly equivalent to my GTX 280 (but use less powe and run cooler) so I don't think you'd be disappointed in that either =)|||GTX570 = 2 x GTX560

GTX590 = 2 x GTX570



So, you basically get a doubled performance at not exactly doubled the price.
