Which would you pick: The GTX560 or the HD6950?

560 is fine, since it can be overclocked to 570 performance (on the expense of ridiculous power consumption for a card like that).



6950 is fine too, since I can unlock the 2GB version to 6970 in most cases (of which the Twin Frozr II version sadly isn't one, the Twin Frozr III on the other hand is).|||I'd go for the HD6950, most of the time ATI / AMD is more bang for your buck.



You should check some benchmarks and reviews on websites like: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/201… I'm sure you'll find material to base your decision on.



Comparing two GTX560 cards and two HD6950 cards: http://www.tomshardware.co.uk/charts/201…|||Since i use both nvidia and ati for good gaming performance and better graphics i would say the 6950

since it's more energy efficient than the power hungary nvidia gtx 560|||The HD 6950 is definitely better according to this benchmark comparison-
