Hi,

I have the following options. No significant difference in price so everything in budget. Please help me to choose.
Will SLI/Crossfire in 1 year.

1. MSI GTX 560 TI Hawk
2. Sapphire R6950 2 GB Dirt3 edition
3. MSI GTX 560 TI Twin Frozr II
4. Zotac GTX 560 TI

Thank you.

I personally would go for the HD6950 2GB, they are all good choices.

I have a 22 inch screen and will be playing games at 1080p. Currently i have no plan to use multiple screens.

My rig includes
i5 2500k
4 gigs of ram 1600 mhz
Mobo: msi p67a g43

Now which of the above will suit me better?

At 1920 x 1200, Id get a 900 Mhz 560 Ti ... out of those

They are all good for your resolution and will swap blows based on games performance wise. Having 2GB on the HD6950 does not matter at that resolution but might in future games especially with eye candy turned on.

I would go with option 1 , the clocks are higher and it is the twin frozer 111 design.

Apparently the 560 gives better performance but the 6950 does have the extra 1gb which may be very future proof. The difference is not extreme but I would go the Nvidia route because Nvidia 3d vision rocks

Out of the 560's I agree with the above user, your first choice is best choice.
