GeForce 560Ti
Back in 2002 I owned a GeForce Ti4600. A superbly expensive card, which conked out about 6 months later and was replaced by a somewhat cheaper GeForce 5900. The performance difference was significant. And I learnt a lesson, don't buy expensive graphics cards.
Nvidia have reintroduced the Ti monkier with the 560Ti; which I've just bought to replace my 260+; with the same target price of around the £200 mark (or a lot less if you shop around and get some vouchers and stuff, combined with selling my 260, this upgrade has only cost me £60).
Previously I've posted the results of 3DMark 2001 on graphics cards, but alas this app has finally given up the ghost on my computer and refuses to play ball with Windows 7 x64 - potentially possible to get it working, but frankly, I'd rather play games than try and get benchmarking tools to work.
Still, I ran 3D Mark Vantage against the 260+ and my new 560Ti. The results are in:
260+: P11432 (GPU: 9168 / CPU: 44092)
560Ti: P23087 (GPU: 19286 / CPU: 56478)
I'm not entirely sure how my CPU score has gone up just by changing the graphics card - some flaws in the bench testing program. Still, suitably more powerful.
