GTX 560SC (NON TI) vs Using 2 GTX 460 SE's in sli?
Wednesday, February 08, 2012 7:33 PM

So the title says it all. I currently have a GTX 560 SC(NON TI) running in my computer but I also have a GTX 460SE sitting here doing nothing. I am not able to really use both cards at the same time yet because I only have 500 watts but I will soon be receiving a new PSU, 1200w, and wanted to know which set up would be better? I plan on using the 460SE regardless whether it is in SLI form or just as a dedicated phsyx card for benching. But would running 2 460s run better then running 1 560SC non ti? I would love to be able to run 2x 560SC's but I can not afford to buy another card that is 200 dollars. Heck I can't even afford another 460SE atm.

escob4r the 560 (non TI) would be the way I would go,I would probably sell the 460 for what I could get and save some more money over time and get another 560.they are both good cards but the 560 sc will give you a little bit more performance than the 460se would.also with the addition of the 1200 power supply you should be ok on either card choice X2.for now you have the option to use the 460 or 560 as a physic card.Me I came from 2 x 260 evga to a 560 ti sc,and then decided to us the step up plan that evga has to go with the evga 580 gtx.and I probably want worry about going sli again sense the 580 handle every thing I want it to do.either way you choose to go lol.

Thanks for your input. And as for using the 460 for now as a Phsyx card is kinda pointless for me. Only game I play is BF3 which doesn't support the Nvidia Phsyx option and I don't think it helps me at all with benching either for I only have the basic editions of 3dmark 11/Vantage. Also I only have a 500W PSU at the moment so using them both has me turning to using a 2nd PSU which is jumped by a paper clip which I do not feel quite safe doing.. Ehhh I am fine right now with my 560 and figured that would be the choice. I do wish to go SLI with it soon but I would love to be able to get the ti version..
