    It seems far better than a GTX 650 Ti. Worth it if you're on a tight budget.

    Its the GeForce GTX 560 Titan that you want to look out for :)

    Why do you say it seems far better? Seemed much the same to us.

    What exactly are you referring too?
    I did a quick search for GTX 560 Titan and only came up with Ti references.

    Was a terrible joke guys.

    The worst part is someone has put "GTX 560 Titan" into Google now.

    LOL, Steve's joke got out of control. Anyway, the consequent responses to the joke were hillarious. Nice bm by the way.

    Cons: "Some newer games won't run perfect at max settings"

    You are evaluating a budget card! BUDGET. That can't be a cons.

    Lets list it as a pro then.

    Pros: "Some newer games won't run perfect at max settings"

    Does that look better?

    Performance wise it's similar but it's also far cheaper than the 650 Ti in ZA so to me that is a big win unless there's a price readjustment.

    Really looking forward to 8870 and 8850. Going to build my first PC around June or July and I want to know if they blow 7870 out of the water at around the same price. And, Intel Haswell!

    They are just refreshes, not true successors, the 8850 will be 7870 performance and 8870 will between 7950 and 7970. Next gen stuff isn't coming till next year.

    I know the 22nm process will take some time from now till Q4 to mature, but if the 7790 (22nm) only improves performance vs the 7770 (32nm) by 10% or so, AMD is in trouble.

    No smart guy, I'm saying you have to judge that for what it is.
    If not then you have to make that CONS in all the budget graphic cards reviewed it will be almost a default. Do you know any budget card that can run all newer games on max settings?

    No smart guy, it's listed as a con because that is how it stacks up to faster cards. Sure it is a budget review, but it is still compared to higher end cards with a final conclusion.
