Radeon HD 6570 vs. Nvidia GeForce GT 720

[Justin R32]

Did I just buy a weaker graphics card? Both are low-profile passive and used in my HTPC with lite gaming.

I have a:
HIS amd radeon hd 6570 1GB DDR3

I just bought a:
ASUS GeForce GT 720 2GB DDR3

My system is a W7 i5-2500 3.3 with 10GB ram & SSD

I've been running the Radeon 6570 fine for a few years. Recently loaded up Dolphin Emulator for Wii games and I'm unable to play the games in 1920x1080. It stutters a bit and is slow.

I just went and bought the Nvidia GeForce GT 720 thinking the 2GB vs 1GB would help, but is this a downgrade or upgrade?

Thanks!

They are both about the same ability, you just switched from AMD to Nvidia is all.

Any recommendation on a low profile gpu for a dell 990 SFF 240w ps?

Grandmaster user Clutchc has this low profile gtx750Ti running in his SSF 790 with a 240w PSU.

Use at your own risk, as always. Its not officially supported.

Thank you. After further research I landed on the GTX 750 Ti myself. I think this will work for my needs.

It really is a great card for the price IMO.
