GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon 6870

[adahil]

Hey guys, want to buy a new GPU at the end of the month and I have a price range of around £150.

The two main candidates seem to the the above two cards.

Does anyone have any info regarding which of these will be more useful for gaming?

I have a Bulldozer FX-4100 processor and a 650W PSU.

Can't afford a better card right now I don't think so may consider CrossFire or SLI in the future....are either of these more conducive to this?

Any opinions would be greatly appreciated

If you can stretch to the GTX 560ti get that. It isn't a massive difference in price but the card itself is a beast. I've got one in my PC and it can play anything I through at it on high or ultra so far!

Ok cool......is that the 1GB or 2GB version you have? Or even the ltd edition 1.25?

Cool! Thats the one I want to get. Have you had a look at the actual card? Is it a Palit one?
