Having trouble deciding...

My original plan was to get a 465GTX from EVGA, however now looking i have come across 2 other cards which i think would do better. but i cant decide between the 2.

EVGA GTX 470:

EVGA GTX 560 Ti FPB:

now keeping in mind my motherboard is SLI Ready, so ill end up getting 2 of them down the road, just starting with one.

no thoughts? getting close to buying time and i still am undecided.

how much PSU power you working with or better yet, do they have the rails to handle that? The technology in the 4xx series was known for it bad power comsumtion. The newer cards are better with power, but I don't know if you would take a performace hit or not. Scrath that, it is the 460, without the performance cuts.

the best I can help you is with this: On 470 wattage and amps needs. I can't find solid info on the 560 wattage and rail needs. I know you can run either one, but you will probably need a PSU upgrade in the future to run SLI with either. I learned the hard way that not having enough amps is gonna smoke ya shit.

Thanks for the link, very informative.

630w might be a bit low to run SLI with anything 465/470/560/570. I have a hard time recommending 570' at all, there's a few dead ones out there.
