My 4870 recently stopped working so looking for a new card. I'm having problems deciding between a 560 or a 6870 but am now favouring the MSI GeForce GTX 560 1024MB. Is this any good and any views if this is any better than the 6870?
 
The GTX 560 and HD 6870 are pretty much neck and neck in performance.

The MSI GTX 560 is £140.

If you're willing to wait a few days for them to come in you can pre-order a HD 6870 for £120:

OcUK ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB GDDR5 PCI-Express Graphics Card with FREE Deus Ex PC Game **PRE-ORDER ONLY PRICE**

As you can see you also get a free copy of Deus Ex: Human Revolution.

The game would cost around £25 if you were thinking of buying it or you could sell it on and reduce the cost of your graphics card.

The 6870 is indeed good value. It's likely the Deus Ex game will be a download code though, so don't count on being able to sell it.
 
As bhavv says you can sell the code.

You can even sell it in the Members Market if you have access, and the OP has.

There might be a glut of them for sale in a week or so though.
