GeForce GTX 850A vs GeForce GTX 560
Summary
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 850A |
105 watts lower power draw. This might be a strong point if your current power supply is not enough to handle the GeForce GTX 560 . |
This is a much newer product, it might have better long term support. |
Higher theoretical gaming performance, based on specifications. |
Supports PhysX |
Supports G-Sync |
Supports ShadowPlay (allows game streaming/recording with minimum performance penalty) |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Maxwell), there may be no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
Reasons to consider GeForce GTX 560 |
Supports PhysX |
Based on an outdated architecture (Nvidia Fermi), there are no performance optimizations for current games and applications |
HWBench recommends GeForce GTX 850A
