INNO3D GeForce GTX 570 or msi 560ti

I'd personally go with the msi GTX 560 Ti but that's just my opinion.

Both cards look good and technically the GTX 570 is better but I haven't had much experience with INNO3D. I've heard good things about their cards but they aren't a 'high end' brand which makes me unsure about their quality. But please, correct me if I'm wrong.

I have an msi card and I love it. The one you chose out looks good and is a very powerful card. You should also get a decent result if you want to overclock. The only thing I could say against msi is their service. I've never had any problems with it but if you do a bit of searching on the internet, msi will not stand up to other brands such as EVGA or ASUS when it comes to warranties and service.

What is your budget?

hi there

i couldnt find any useful reviews on the INNO3D GeForce GTX 570 and when i saw the similarity in the price i thought i should ask before buying any
the strange thing is that the msi 560ti is even more expensive :S

I don't know much about the INNO3D brand i.e. what's their quality or after-sales-service but the extra VRAM on 570 will prove useful if you plan to play at higher resolutions otherwise go with 560ti.

And your quad core will you may experience a slight bottleneck especially in more cpu hungry games and low resolution. However at greater resolutions, you won't experience much of a bottleneck as more work would be shared with the gpu.
But eventhough, upgrading from 8600gt to any of these will surely give a boost and much smoother gameplay.

i dont think the gtx 570 will work since its a pci 3.0 card so i might go with the gtx560ti

Cards are (yet) backward compatible i.e. a pci 3.0 card would work just fine in a pci 2.0 slot only with the limitation that it'll run at half the speed it'd in its native slot.
FYI, gtx 570 is a pci 2.0 card.

should i go for the msi or the asus ?

It all boils down to your personal preference. Both are good brands. I myself have an asus 560ti and running fine w/ no problems. But you should consider the availability of their respective service centres too incase something goes wrong which i really hope to not as you'll seriously not like to wander off files just to get to their service centre...
