As usual, i did a very extensive Google search, and got mixed reviews, so its another thread from me.
But hopefully this one will help a lot of people with the less extensive understandings of computers, like me, as the recent release of the GTX 650 and GTX 660 has been fairly confusing. Especially because the benchmarking on the Nvidia site seems extremely exaggerated.
My budget still isn't very clear, because i now have a very expensive Economics trip to New York that i need to pay for, so saving money is a pretty important thing for me right now.
I have been extensively looking at the following 4 cards:
GTX 550Ti,
GTX 560Ti
GTX 650,
GTX 660.
Now, i have two questions from there, that i watched a lot of Newegg videos to answer, yet didn't actually get an answer for.
1. If i have to go for the lowest priced cards, i am going for a GTX 550Ti or a GTX 650. Which one is better? The 650 seems to be the obvious option, but the 550Ti seems to have some higher specs on the Nvidia site.
2. Same question with the GTX 560Ti and the GTX 660 - if my budget allows me, i will pick one of these. Should the 560Ti be sufficient for any game on at least medium settings, or should i spend an extra few pounds and get a 660?
Thanks a lot, as always!
