NVIDIA GTX 560 SLI vs AMD RADEON 6950 Crossfire Review

[beckzwayne]

what about 560 TI 448's VS Saphire 6950 crossfire

[verbycraft30]

He blinks at 2:42 the first time not 3:05:)

[tutamal]

those scores are so low, crossfire and sli, is not worth it :(

[verbycraft30]

@tutamal No I suggest getting one amazing card (as long as it doesn't make your cpu bootleg your cpu too badly) instead of two great ones lol. But honestly I get these scores with one 6870's lol... Sure they aren't that high resolutino but thats just cuz of my monitor..

[yocbjone]

blinking is for pussies man

[97Wanne]

is he ever going to blink his eye!?

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

I dont get the heat thing. my 6950 overcloked idles at 50c and never gets above 57c under full load overclocked to the max slide bar settings with MSI afterburner in 3dmark 11

[Ri1seAgainst]

@PsiloCybinDreamX if your @ 50c idle then you have a major problem

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@Ri1seAgainst 50c is a good temp to idle at, some people with nvidia cards idle at 80c which is bad. I just ran the crysis bench 1680x1050 8x AA everything very high. with its max over clock with MSI afterburner and using the MSI on screen diagnostic and it was only using 80-85% of the gpu's power in them and was barely getting passed 70c. I could over clock this even more and still be safe

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@Ri1seAgainst i also was hitting 60 fps average

[Ri1seAgainst]

@PsiloCybinDreamX hitting 60fps average explains nothing you could be playing minecraft my 570 idles at 30c I've never heard of 80c idle maybe under load yes my 570 can hit 80c under 100% load on the lowest fan setting but with a 10% fan increase under full load it hits 65c max with a pretty high overclock aswell

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@Ri1seAgainst I got up to the 70's under full load but I didnt mess with the voltage or anything like that.Its gpu load was around 80% so i think a nice upgrade of ram and processor will help :)

[costi08]

Bullshit! 

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@costi08 Its not bullshit hes just explaining the 2gb models. Im no "fanboy" of either. Im all about price vs performance and heat.Like it really matters I used a 6950 and can max out any game. Hell if I put my old 5770 I could still max out games.I dont see whay everyone has to have 100+ FPS in games anyways

[tutamal]

@PsiloCybinDreamX humanity man, humanity.

[mamas1894]

dis guy only blinked like once :/

[RanBmaster]

omg dude blink or your eyes will fall out....then you cant compare shXX

[Pollack007]

ok my 6950 2gb or gtx 560 ti 1gb? i want to return my amd card cause the drivers suck. Any help?

[CloudieV]

@trashypickles rly do you think people are that stupid?

[renigader]

Is this the 2 gig gtx 560ti?

[trashypickles]

omg!! i seen this site with a guy smashing four gtx 590's!!

heres the link: ww w(.)redtube(.)c om

remove ()

[gordiny22]

COMO VAN A COMPARAR ESAS TARJETAS SE VE QUE ESE CALVO TRABAJA PARA AMD ...

[adveric4ever]

omfg this guy is creepy

[hallloikbeneenpoepch]

Amd ftw

[TypicalPete]

Now take GTX 590

[sparenade]

Blinking is so mainstream.

[klondikebar48]

HE FiNALLY BLINKS AT 3:05!!!!

[farfuckinout]

@klondikebar48 He winked. That dude only closes his eyes for fun :D

[ThusGaming]

@klondikebar48 He blinks at 2:43

[AndreInterstate]

@klondikebar48 DMN cant compete with that skills lol

[taringa501]

I got a question. WHERE THE HELL DOES HE GET THE MONEY TO BUY ALL THE GRAPHIC CARDS IN THE FU..ING MARKET?

[BludSworn]

@taringa501 Companies send him products to review

[MrIwesseli]

@taringa501 He gets them for free just to show so nvidia/amd will get some more buyers o.o

[nanakon28]

@taringa501 Companies will send him review products. I ran a site reviewing video games and I've been contacted by companies to receive review copies of games.

[ToxiikPros]

He blin- nevermind I blinked -_-

[Clankl33t]

HE BLINKED FUCKING ONCE TIME!!!!! WHAT IS THIS THING?!?!!

[kanuzo]

1 minute 15 seconds no blinking at all... I have a lot of respect for you!

[kanuzo]

@kanuzo Oh, and nice review =]

[xXpurplenurple007Xx]

3:05 HAH! HE BLINKED! :D

[Z3NPHO3NIX]

He blinks at the very end when the screen starts getting dark.

[codaassasin]

I could tell he was dying from not blinking...his eyes were getting red..

[BosMossel86]

He blinked twice super fast at the very end of the video...

[TheAlbinoGoron]

whats the difference bewteen ti and sli im a noob i know

[GmGzY]

@TheAlbinoGoron

-sli allows you to connect two or more graphics cards on one motherboard.

-ti versions of a card, generally have faster graphics processors compared to the non ti version on the card.

[GmGzY]

@TheAlbinoGoron Also the equivalent of sli for amd/ati cards is called "crossfire".

[Gumblert]

BLINK YOU FUCKING LUNATIC!

[jonesboyy93]

@Gumblert Lmfao

[blekibabic]

This guy is on the some serious dope, look at him no blink, lol, he is so excited about blabla nvidia this amd that, hhahah he have great job talking to the camera about hardware, lol, any way it is something usefull there ....judge yourslef!!!!cccc

[mustanggtxps3]

you said in this video that the 2gb that the 6950 has helps in crossfire so in essence if i got the 2gb gainward 560 ti and put them in sil mode would they perform better than the 1gb 560 ti's?

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@mustanggtxps3 i can answer than and not really, the only real performance boost you will see is if you crank the fuck out of everything to the max. this is if the game actually even needs the extra gpu memory too. if it doesnt the performance would be close. my friend has a 1gb 6950 and I have the 2gb model and mine only gets 2-3 more fps than his

[analfabet123456789]

he's right about the heat . my 560 stays well around 45 (113 farenheit) degrees celsius while easily playing the highest settings possible . but when i went to a friends house that got exactly the card presented in the video , the program said it was around 70 to 80 celsius (158-176).

[ibere101]

Parabéns pelo seu trabalho me ajuda muito na escolha das melhores peças para meu pc alem de sempre me manter informado! Muito bom mesmo! Abraços do Brasil "Rei dos Impostos" KK

[dieselrock11]

i think he blinked on 3.05

[thetomgaming]

3:04 OMFG HE BLINKED !!!!!

[4znKnyt3]

He would win the world record of not blinking effortlessly

[GonorrheaHD]

ASSUMING DIRECT CONTROL

[xtremegamer4696]

Does he mean GTX 560's or 560TI's because the TI'S would probably smoke the 6950's

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@xtremegamer4696 hes talking about the 560 ti's

[OpsInChain]

hey dude that music that starts at 1:15 is from ur band right? are u the guitarist?? that sounds amazing u should post a video of your band u guys sound cool

[mpiaysol]

Hay people the only way to see him blinking is not to blink through out this vid .

And as then you should notice that he blinks, Blindyz lol

[ThaUnpronounceable]

please, please blink :(((((((((

[LordKahu]

2gb GTX 560s win SLI.

[erasser1996]

hey can i get an advice, i am searching to get a good video card like the ati 6950 2gb and the gtx 560 , can you tell me which one is better. my computer is about 3 and a half year's old,and if i get a new video card i will get a new power suply too,and later on in summer i with make an update to a new motherbord and a new CPU. ? can someone help me please ?

[1Adr1an6]

@erasser1996 the 6950 is better, it will handle FPS much better.

And plus, you can unlock a 6950 to a 6970.

[kenmanius]

@mrpowerpen

No. Those are different chips and different memory. Ti has more cuda cores than a regular 560. You used to be able to use 2 of the same cards with different memory, but that doesn't work on newer Nvidias.

[dieday5]

i got one 6950 2gig on my alienware i want a extra amd 6950 2gig and want them in crossfire witch 6950 i need to get and how te hell i get them in crossfire

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

damn 2 6950's in cross fire even beats the 560's in tri SLI

[TheAlin25]

@PsiloCybinDreamX it's not tri sly mang:)) lol read again it is 560 TI not TRI:)))

[MrPowerpen]

can you sli a GTX 560 2GB and a GTX 560 Ti 1GB together

[PsiloCybinDreamX]

@MrPowerpen yes

[zeogravity20]

6870 seems like a better deal for me. i got one at 3 months ago the powercolour one. thinking of getting another next year when the price goes down. then i get comparable performance with the gtx 580

[thegarmin23]

i know hwy he isnt blinking you just need to concentrate well, and talk about something and you wont blink try it i tried it and it works :D

[shawnspeed3]

I just ordered the Gigabyte 560 OC (non-ti) for $150 after rebates. Then save up for another for SLI if it doesn't run BF3 smoothly. I sold my 3 year old GTX460 since it wasn't cutting it. I have a Z68 mobo so I wanted to stay with Geforce for Virtu. Strangely, Virtu crashes with BF3! GTC560 TI was not worth it IMO after SLI...

[NINJApenguinCHIMP]

Please please please share with the good folks of youtube the story of how you came to lose your eyelids, please!

[thegretestman]

i had a staring contest with him... needless to say i lost

[IIK3V1NBPII]

@thegretestman i actualy tried it... i lost at 0:56 xD

[platedab]

xLjle: He just blinks when you do. HA ha

[kein3001]

@UpgradableStone

you can see it on that home page thermaltake.outervision. com

[GonorrheaHD]

@UpgradableStone 1000 to 1050 watts, but it all depends on every part, but usually it is 1000 to 1050 watts

[havock0701]

@UpgradableStone 850 should be enough. 1000 if ur gonna upgrade sometime in future...but 850 is more than enough.

[GonorrheaHD]

@havock0701 no it isn't in crossfire you should always be at 1000 watts atleast

[havock0701]

@GonorrheaHD not at all...unless your running very very high end "other" components..but if 2 6950s is your only concern then 850 watt is more than enough. you can google it "how much psu is need for crossfire" (yes not the best english i know) , 1st result should be more than enough ;)

[GonorrheaHD]

@havock0701 buy you might want to update your parts at some time so you will probably need it somewhere down the line, but your right you dont "need" it

[crazychainsaw007]

What if the gtx carsds had 2gb memory?

[AcesHighProd]

your not blinking eyes distracted me from the review

[aSlightComa]

I Challenge YOU to a Steering Contest!

[justforVIDEOSqmz]

hes not a human.. hes a droid or i dont know... HOW THE HELL CAN A HUMAN DOESNT BLINK?

[darjannp]

@justforVIDEOSqmz i think he uses his eyes to count FPS

[Kryonproductions]

@justforVIDEOSqmz How the hell can a human not blink, im not sure what it matters unless your a flaming homo who is upset you could never butteryfly kiss with him

[Toxicfilmsofficial]

@justforVIDEOSqmz youtube video are at 30-24 fps i dont know, maybe elric is blinking fast and 24 fps is not enought to see it blink ?

[XxGodlyx]

@justforVIDEOSqmz I Cant Tell Some CAN!

[MrMaxvandenberg]

hey man, what is better to run battlefield 3 in ultra with the most beautiful graphics and the highest fps??

i heard very much that battlefield 3 is going to run better on a GTX 560 than a HD 6950. is that right?

and i also wanna know what the best cpu is for running battlefield 3 (i know you absolutely need a quad core but which brand etc. i think AMD is better but i want to hear you'r opinion's!

thanks.

peace on you guys!

[aSuperBosnianMan]

@MrMaxvandenberg I would go with the GTX 560 TI and an INTEL quad core because they are much better than AMD

[Bey0ndKha0s1825]

@aSuperBosnianMan and why is it better than AMD?

[aSuperBosnianMan]

@Bey0ndKha0s1825 Check the benchmarks Intel 4 core vs AMD 8 core the intel 4 core wins.

[MrMaxvandenberg]

@aSuperBosnianMan yeah i already know that but if you are competing a Phenom 2 x4 965 to a Core i7 1366 or 1155 than the Phenom 2 x4 wins in speed!

and overclocking is much easier. and i dont have that much money for stuff like intel.

but only a single GPU is enough. so i can run 1 GTX 560 on my AMD board?

[213374ju]

@aSuperBosnianMan You're saving Nvidia is better than Radeon because AMD's (maker's of Radeon GFX Cards) new 8-core CPU odes not out perform Intel's flagship CPU? I just want to point on a few flaws in your argument: Nvidia vs Radeon is GPU Based. You're telling someone to get Nvidia cards because AMD's new CPU sucks compared to Intel's flagship CPU. A CPU is not the samething as a GPU and Nvidia is not the same company as Intel. You're mixing up two diff. topics, but I do agree Intel> AMD

[LegendOfConsoles]

Is 650 watt enough for SLI?

[Th4DeuSs]

@LegendOfConsoles Atleast 750 and depends on the cards

[Foxx6699]

@LegendOfConsoles If you arent overclocking then yeah, also depents on wich cards youre getting, sli 590's will need more then a 560 in a stock system.

[The1cristi]

2 gtx 560 directcu 2 are better then the gtx 570?

[Th4DeuSs]

@The1cristi Ofcourse! Much faster! It's like 40% faster than the GTX 580, lol :P

[The1cristi]

@Th4DeuSs So 2 gtx 560 directcu 2 non ti are equal in performance with a gtx 580 right? i don't know if it's a big difference between the gtx 560's ti and non ti....Thx. The price for 2 560 non ti = gtx 570 and if u get the performance of a gtx 580 it's awesome..

[Th4DeuSs]

@The1cristi Yeah, lol even just the regular 560 sli is much faster than one 580 :P

[The1cristi]

2 gtx 560 directcu 2 are better then the gtx 580?

[XXNAVYSEALX]

Hey I am new at computer gaming I know a lot about computers but I need to know that the AMD RADEON 6950 is that a different graphics card then the croosfire AMD RADEON 6950

[SWOgottaGO]

@XXNAVYSEALX No, it isn't a different card but another one. AMD 6950 in crossfire means that two 6950 are working as one to give more performance to your PC. Much like Raid0 with HDD. Crossfire or Xfire etc is for AMD cards and for nVidia cards it's called SLI. You can Xfire, Tri-fire and Quad-fire them, same applies to nVidia.

In order for this to work it HAS to be two of the SAME cards. You can't Xfire a 6950 and a 6870 because it won't work. Same applies to nVidia.

[TurtleSensor]

HE DOESNT BLINKKK AT ALLLLLL

[Olaipai]

I got two MSI 6950 Twin Frozer III.. They are sick! Thinking of another one. Three-way Xfire. :)

[MrJohnw93]

@Olaipai

itll be cool but that last card is going to have the worst scaling. I'd save the cash for your upgrade to the next generation if I were you

[Olaipai]

@MrJohnw93 So, 2-way Crossfire instead then?

[MrJohnw93]

@Olaipai thats what i would do

[buzz9961]

someone know what the name of the song?

[MrBorninthestates]

@thesportstv1 yes it does. I have the P8P67 pro, the deluxe just comes with like a USB 3.0 hub or something. Same mobo though. Or atleast similar.

[thesportstv1]

Asus P8P67 Deluxe supports 2 way sli??

[codaassasin]

i think this guy wins the world record for not blinking....DAM

[PanaMacSpana]

A little misleading, i thought this was for the 560 and not the 560 ti.

[jonesboyy93]

so 2 GTX 560's in SLI out preform a GTX 570 and GTX 580?

[5windlz]

@jonesboyy93 yes, look at benchmarks

[Iwebguru]

@jonesboyy93 yes

[adobo777]

2x 6950s are a can of whoop-ass

[tonifas1]

Can i use two 6950 in crossfire with my Corsair TX750 Watts?

[adobo777]

@tonifas1 If you have 4x PCIE connectors on those PSU then yes.

[tonifas1]

@adobo777 thanks, im ansious to get two of these in crossfire; its awesome!!!!

[don2xify]

Which is faster 2gb gtx 560 ti or 2gb 6950?

[don2xify]

Does 6950 run hot enough that I would need to worry about it?

[charlesbego]

omg.. u suck, u talk about gtx560, but ur review graph show gtx560ti

[xLjle]

Have u noticed that the dude doesn't blink?

[M1nit0r]

@xLjle Maybe he's a ninja and he blinks so fast you don't notice :D

[kaipher]

@xLjle creepy

[kenmanius]

@xLjle That's common among folks who stare at monitors all day.

[TheFredHammer]

@xLjle he blinks in between frames.

[idontknowshutup65]

@xLjle Or maybe he blinks only when you do causing you not to see it thus giving the illusion that he does not blink.

[EmoticonMayhem]

Is not having PhysX a big deal really? Becasue the only reason why I'm considering a 560 Ti instead of 6950 is becasue of PhysX?

[hafboy1]

1:48 fuck you!

[chaza194]

please blink in your videos its creepy!!!!!

[Appleshaq]

1:15 Is where it starts.

[98GuitarTECH]

HELP! I'm building my first windows gaming pc (coming from a mac background) and I'm trying not to go above £850 GBP. I'm getting an Intel i5 2500k w/ 8GB RAM as well as 650W corsair and an Asus P8P67 LE. For hard drives its a 60GB SSD for OS and a 1TB HDD for data. Should I get an Asus DCII overclocked 1GB GTX 560 Ti or an Asus DCII overclocked 2GB HD 6950? I can't spend any more than that.

[98GuitarTECH]

@98GuitarTECH That is NOT Crossfire/SLI btw, thanks for the help!

[rooo1o]

@98GuitarTECH Hmmm. Although Corsair does produce very good quality, it is on the expensive side. I'd recommend you use an OCZ ModXStream 600W for this gaming PC. It's very good quality, it produces enough wattage, and it's cheaper. For the RAM, get the cheapest (yes, I said CHEAPEST) 8GB kit you can find, as long as it's 1333 or higher. Now. You should get the 6950 because you can unlock it to the 6970 and it's just faster than the 560 Ti overall, and with the money you've saved

[rooo1o]

@98GuitarTECH on the components I've listed, change your motherboard from the P8P67 LE to the Asus P8Z68-V PRO. It's just a much better motherboard for gaming overall and you get several different features like onboard Bluetooth, LucidLogix Virtu technology, better overclocking capabilities and much much more.

[yz509]

A 650 will be more than enough and leave room for future upgrades

[FireMageRPG]

Im building a new pc. Im in a budget and i dont know what Psu do i need. It will have a radeon hd 6870 and a amd phenom II 965. What psu do you guys recommend me?

[yz509]

@FireMageRPG 650w corsaire

[FireMageRPG]

@yz509 Thx men :D

[kudeeray]

BTW people, I found a 6950 twin frozr II for $350 :D

[SupremeAmerican]

i dont think the lower end power supply will affect someone decision if they're gonna dump 5 or 6 hundred bucks down on vid cards

[undefeated29]

Kinda dumb to compare these cards.

The AMD card chosen should've been in the GTX 560 price range to be FAIR. Something like the HD 6850...lol. Or up the GTX to an ti version which is still a bit cheaper than the 6950 and then let's see the results.

[Terrr05]

@undefeated29 It is a Ti. Look at the comparison charts, you'll see he's comparing the GTX 560 Ti. You silly goose.

By the way, I'm finding the GTX 560 Ti for around £185 on websites, whereas the 6950 is typically only about £10 more. It looks like the 2GB 6950 is way better value for money...?

[eliteMH]

would a 700 power supply work ok for the radeon 6950?

[xbox360mdmx]

@eliteMH reccomended that you only need a min of 500 watt for a single card

[eliteMH]

@xbox360mdmx alright thanks

[Nucleariasi]

You got it the other way around pal, the AMD cards are cheaper than the Nvidia not the other way around.

[blaizedproduction]

@Nucleariasi Look at the date.

[italianHD]

HD 6970 cross or GTX 570 SoC sli?

[ProSniperrifle]

So.. what should I buy? looks like the 6950 is better, but i would rather other people to help me decide ^^ I really want whats best for my pc.

[theLexisama]

@ProSniperrifle youre bether of whit a 6950. due to that it has 2 gig ram and even if that dont showe now in tests it will handel newer game bether than the 560-570 in the future. plus even though they used old drivers in this video crossofire is mucth bether than SLI and if you look around the 6950 in crossfire is even bether than two 580 in sli in som aplications. so in the long turn the 6950 is bether if you are thinking of going Crossfire in the future.

ps.6950 consumes less power too

[ProSniperrifle]

@theLexisama Alright cheers

[dekaron12]

hi im still a novice to this stuff, so i have 3 questions:

1 how do i know how much i can overclock the gpu ?

2 how does it work in sli mode ? do i have to overclock one card, so it automatically overclocks the second one, or do i have to overclock them separately ?.

3 when you run in sli mode, does the power consumption doubles as well?

thanks in advance.

[nmarkus666]

@dekaron12 google is your friend.

[dekaron12]

@nmarkus666 yeah i  use it regularly . but you know, theres alot of people online here on youtube, so I thought, why not? ''maybe someone will reply'' haha not gonna count on that one next time. back to google :P thanks.

[TheDrunkenkiller]

my rig cost less than $1,000 to make my self, got a quote for it and the in shop price would have been closer to $2,000,

I am not just a gamer but also do 3d design, so i do have a back up pc but still amd, But this time in CrossFire -Radeon HD6870

and yet plays games as good as my old gts 250's in amd sli with the same rig as my new setup

[TheDrunkenkiller]

Ok so you talk about amd and ATI/crossfire cards but what about amd and sli/gtx cards ?

my new setup is the am3 black box 6 core" the new one ",16 gig of chunky ram,and 2x gtx560 in SLI

Over the last few months more and more people have been going with the 560's or higher in the gtx range but still sticking to the intell cpu ( then cry about not pulling in the frames that i am getting ) close to 165 in bf3 on max settings ,

[bumblebee24100]

the 560's should have been ti to make it fair

[kudeeray]

@UzumakiNarutoKun96 You do know there are more than just fraps right?

to name a few bandicam, ATI tray tool, and often times in game console commands are (I'm assuming) used for showing FPS/changing settings on the graphics card/ benchmarking/ taking pictures, etc.

[AosaBid]

I find NVIDIA GPUs to be better...Better drivers,less heat and noise and more games supports them rather than ATI GPUs and ATI GPUs drivers are a pain in the butt.

@AosaBid Ati processor unit are more advanced then nVidia.

But nVidia video card get better game developers optimisation due to nVidia pay extra money for that.

In other words nVidia pay money so ATI will get bad performance in games.
