Which DX11 video card meets the best price/performance/power efficiency?

Wow 1GB version of 6950 sucks more power than 2GB version of 6950.

Also, Nvidia Ti560 power draw is NOT impressive.

Well one review, one card. Hard to say that's definitive.

Performance per watt for the 560 seems on par or slightly better than with the 460. Not really close to the newest AMD offerings, but its among the best Nvidia products in that category.

I've seen others where it was pretty much the same power draw.
But can we now finally put to rest the rumor some believed that HD6950 has higher power draw due to 2GB memory please?

5850 All the way.

- Stupidly cheap because of the 6800 series release
- Faster then the equally priced 6850 and GTX 460.
- Can over clock past 5870 and 6870 Performance ( Any thing over 878Mhz on the core )
- Scales amazing in Crossfire ( Faster then 5970 at stock clocks )
- Not that power hungry
- Runs cool

It's just the best bang-per-buck card in general, They're going for £130-£150 at the moment in the UK.

Speaking of current cards, the brand new GT440 is almost in a league of its own in Perf/W

 

[AlphaWolf]

Impressive, they can market it as right between the 480 and the 580 in PERFORMANCE... per watt

 

[I.S.T.]

Perf/W is by itself a useless metric.

Useful when choosing between cards from the same performance class though
