Im not sure if this is the right place for this topic, move if need be. But a quick question. Which would you guys choose, http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130661 or http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130625 . From what i read they are very similar. What i wanna know is the GTX 560 worth the extra $80 dollars?
Which graphics card?

I've had nothing but issues with the AMD card I had before it crapped out after a measly two years, plus Nvidia actually releases new drivers for their cards.
But hey, maybe I just had a bad experience.

Well, I think you should go for the first, if price is no option (if you are on a strict budget, go for the second one). The first sounds like it is OC, so you will actually have much higher memory than it says (I bought an OC 560, which claimed on the package was around 1GB. dxdiag reports that it is actually closer to 4GB). You will get much better performance from it. Plus, the game that you get with the first one is much better. 
I think you're misinterpreting what Overclocking means, it means that the speed is pushed beyond factory setting, meaning the card runs hotter, but processes faster, improving performance. Memory is separate, the reason your dxdiag is telling you, you have 4 gigs, is because I'd say you have a fair amount of ram, and its can use up to 3 gigs of your ram for graphics if need be.BreakfastMan said:Well, I think you should go for the first, if price is no option (if you are on a strict budget, go for the second one).

Ya.... im not an AMD dude.. but reading that chart i think itd be better to fork out an extra 130 for this. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130593 Although its wierd how the GTX 460 got better FPS. But i am assuming that it just processes that game better. Btw im mainly looking at new cards to be able to run Battlefield 3 at max graphics.Snowalker said:
