Evga 560Ti vs 570....

Discuss please.. pretty much all I play is CoH and I would like to try the Star Wars MMO. I dont play shooters on my PC.. I have a Xbox360 for that.. I am using a 750 watt power supply if that is a factor and I am a little concerned about noise and heat and have no idea which is better..

Ill be going I-5 Ivy Bridge with 8 gigs of ram ( might get 16 cause ram is cheap right now ). Getting a Samsung 128 SSD ( got one on sales yesterday for 90 bucks !!! ). MSI Z77A-GD65 Motherboard looks like my best option right now for what I want..

Anyway thats the two cards I am looking at..

Any advice would be appreciated..

If numbers are so much more important than a teammate who is fun to play with, forget about the game altogether and go play with a calculator instead. -Claws and Effect-

The 570 is about 20% faster and uses 50 (gaming), worse case (furmark) 100 watts more power according to the charts at TechPowerUP.

Wow thanks.. Ill stay with the 560Ti then because I dont think that 205 will really matter for what I use it for and I would rather use less power and have lower temps..

The GTX 560Ti is a good card using it's own GPU rather than a "modified" GPU from the GTX 580 like the 570 or the 560Ti 448 cores.

If rumors hold true, sadly the 660Ti will be a "modified" version of the GPU used in the GTX 680 rather than it's own GPU. The low end 600 cards are just rebadged 520 and 440 cards so I'm a bit disappointed with nVidia. I guess because the GTX 670 and 680 are so power efficient that they decided they don't need to build a dedicated mid line GPU based on their new GPU design.
