Best Graphics Cards For the Money: March 2011

[cleeve]

[citation][nom]JWL3[/nom]I don't get it: The 560Ti in THG's 2011 gamer charts beats the 5870 in all games (by a wide margin) except for Mafia 2.[/citation]

That's not true.

I think you might accidentally be looking at factory overclocked 560 Ti results. Reference 560 Ti results don't have a brand name beside them, you might want to have another look.

I've tallied up the charts and here's the results. out of the 10 game benches:

5 are won by the 5870
4 are ties (results within 3 fps of each other)
1 is won by the 560 Ti

Fro more game results you might want to check the GeForce GTX 560 Ti launch review: http://www.tomshardware.com/reviews/nvidia-geforce-gtx-560-ti-gf114,2845.html

the 5870 is around $200-230...why isn't it on the chart when it provides similar results to your $280 option and is vastly superior to the $180 options.

Hey, where's does the Asus Mars and Ares stand in the Hierarchy chart?

What motherboard would be good to run the 2 6950 2g cards in crossfire. I just bought two of them based on this article. Thanks for any help, I'm totally clueless about tech.

does anyone know why the Geforce GT440 is not in it? It came out like last month.

Any predictions April's update?

This needs to be updated. GeForce just released a new card a week ago. Its a dual cpu, called the 590.

In my case, will be starting off w a brand new computer -building via dell or HP.

Im not sure if dell or HP yet), which card would be better for my (9GB MEM 1.5 TB --Im not sure if getting i7-970 six core or i7-930 8mb yet)

Now it is between

ATI radeon HD 5670 1gb GDDR5
or
2gb ddr3 nvidia ge force GT 420

grateful for the help.

ATI is GARBAGE - NEVER GONA BUY THAT GARBAGE AGAIN.. amd.. you get what you pay for. I bought a 1GB ATI radeon, so disappointed, I'm buying an nvidia again. What a waste of money. This card won't even play condemned -and old game, the textures looked all screwed up, tried to play COD4. forget it. HD video editing..Pffff forget it. MAYA? ahahha. I'm buying an nvidia card.
