Decent mid range card

[Substance]

Hi,

I've just sold a few bits on ebay and have £160 sitting in my paypal, rather than transfer it to my bank I am thinking of buying a GPU,

I have always had ati cards and am currently running a 4870

I have had a look on ocuk and the 6870 and the nvidia 560 are the 2 cards closest to my budget (i don't mind putting a bit towards), are these cards similar? Or is one noticeably better?

Thanks

If you can spend £13 more I would go with a 6950 1GB card like this.

On the Nvidia side, a GTX 560 Ti like this is worth a look.

This review shows how they compare.

Looking at that the 6950 outperforms the 560 9 times out of 10, decision made, thanks
