Hello!
I am looking to switch over to a Nvidia GPU for Planetside 2, since i'd rather have the GPU run Physx than my Processor, even though i have a decent CPU. I've been asking around to see which GTX card i should buy.
Currently i run a Radeon Sapphire 6870 and have had people tell me to get a 560 ti, but when i look at the Benchmarks, the 560 ti only seems barely better than my 6870 (5% or less) But has a higher pricetag. Same with the 570, which is out of my price range. But that is just on paper, in practice is a 560 TI or 570 worth the price of Upgrading? Or the 560 TI 448 core?
I also know about the Physx hack, but i plan on running a Crossfire or SLI setup in the future and dont want to mix two cards that will only ever run 1 GPU.
My current rig is:
CPU: AMD Phenom X6 1100 Thuban
RAM: 16 GB DDR3 G.SKill Ripjaws 1600
GPU: Sapphire Radeon 6870 1gb with Eyefinity
PSU: 1000W Rosewill
HDD:500G Western Digital Caviar Blue
Mobo: Asus M4A79XTD Evo
Should i bother switching to Nvidia for the extra price, or just let my CPU handle the PhysX work? What card should i choose if i switch?
