Hi, i've building a CPU, and i told my parents to buy me GTX 560TI 1 GB and they bought 2GB one.. is it worthy the diff of $ and what benefits do i get from the 1gb to the 2gb,
i normally play with 1280x800, and the manufacturer is PALIT.. never heard of it is it goood?
http://www.palit.biz...pro.php?id=1486 need to know because if is not worthy ill ask them to change it in time.

Please

For 1280x800 a 2 GB card is likely going to be the exact same as a 1 GB card. If they paid a lot more for the 2 GB card I'd see if you can exchange it for the lower model to save some money. That's assuming, of course, that you have no plans to run a huge resolution in the future (think 2560x1600 or higher).

Ya.. that's what i just read.. well.. i think they wasted that money, i already told them to try to exchange it.. so i dont get any benefit for the 2gb? more than bigger resolutions.

Unless you're running high resolution you likely won't see much of a difference at all. Depending on the difference in price it may be worth it to you to keep it, but I find that unlikely.

Andres, my question is about your monitor. Is your monitor capable of 1920 x 1080? If so, it would make your gaming experience much better

1440x900 max.

If I remember well your parents went all the way to America to get it. It really isn't worth another plane ticket to exchange it for a 1GB really . At 1440x900 you can max out Metro 2033 easily.

I wonder.. My Palit 460 2GB averages on ~35-40fps on Metro.. Exact same res.

560 Ti is somewhat better, though 35-40 isn't that bad. A 560 Ti is similar to my 470 and I used to play Metro 2033 on my old 1280 monitor at full detail easily. at 1440 just disable advanced DOF and you'll be amazed at the difference in performance. (<- your smiley)
