Dear everyone,
I am planning to make a new computer and I need help deciding which graphic card to choose.
Planned specs:[I already bought most of the things, except the motherboard and power supply. So if I need to change it due to the graphics card, please warn me.]
Case: Cooler Master Elite 430-KWN1
Motherboard: ASUS P8Z68V-PRO
CPU: i7-2600K @ 3.4Ghz
RAM: ADATA 4GB 1333 X 4
PSU: Delta 650W
My first pick was the 6870, as the 6870 is around 30% cheaper ($1499 compared with $1999)[HKD]. (This is because I don't reside anywhere near the U.S.)
However, I heard that nVidia cards with CUDA can drastically increase the performance of the Adobe programs that I occasionally use.
Also, according to my research(not sure), the 560 should have better cooling, as the idle and full load temperatures are 29 and 69 degrees Celsius respectively.
Furthermore, if the 560 has better cooling, I might consider overclocking.
Thanks!
