Re: Help me choose a Graphics card....Advice!

Exactly when in the past did you have issues with catalyst? It has been years since the true horror stories stopped happenning; and nVidia had one recently where they started blowing up cards because the new drivers wouldn't control fan speed and let temperatures rise beyond acceptable levels.

You'll get better framerate in DX11 if the game supports DX11 correctly, BFBC2 is one of those few; but CPU is more important than GPU for that game.

I'm still undecided between a 6870 and a 560ti because: Arkham city releases this year, I'd like physix support; Asylum had beautiful graphics with Physix turned on; and traditionally, aTi has better image quality, an din my experience with several cards from both manufacturers, all of the benchmarks are rigged in favor of nVidia; ALWAYS. Specially those from guru3D, those are borderline fanboyish.

So anyways I'm thorn; I dont play in resolutions that "need" 8x AA; 2x does fine for me so I don't need an uber videocard; yet I can't seem to decide on wich one to get :P

Well I am about to make that decision for you. I am using a 6870 and coupled with these new 11.6 drivers this card is hell on wheels, look at the performance of this thing, mind blowing.
