Its for my brothers pc, he has a 500W PSU and a FX-4100 CPU.

I am willing to upgrade the psu if necessary.

And so are you saying the Gtx 560 twin frozer is better than the Gtx 550 ti superclocked version?

Also look 550 ti sli is a bit higher than 560 ti hawk

Just a clear winner.

No need to ask about it

And about the PSU what model ?

Yes sure it is :)

You can always OC it.

My card now is at higher clock than Hawk.

Well that is a crappy PSU. I strongly suggest to replace it !!!

560 Ti needs ~200W on peak so a good 550 will do the job.

I suggest XFX 550 W Pro Core Edition @ncix for onlt 54$ .

Alright cool thanks man, And I just checked, the 550ti super clock has a higher memory clock than the twin frozr 560. How come the 560 is still better?
