Higher vram vs better card?

570 is substantially a better choice for anything under 1920x1200. Even at 1920x1200 the 570 is still a better choice though In my opinion.

You would always choose the stronger card over the card with more vram.
The ony advantage vram has is the ability to load larger amounts of textures and possibly better for AA etc.... but the raw grunt still needs to be there, to take full advantage of it.
570 definetly better than the 560 2gb.

Unless you're applying very high AA, mod texture packs and demanding very high minimum frames per second then I don't think it honestly really matters what you go for. Since you can overclock the 570 beyond what an overclocked 560 can attain, I'd probably suggest one of those, even though I usually hear that the 560 is the better overclocker relatively.

gtx 570 all the way..
or like stated, why not go for the 6970??
benchmarks show the 6970 gives slight better fps on high resolution.

AMD might want to lodge a lawsuit on copyright infringement if Nvidia are now using stream processors.

Shaders, stream processors, whatever their called
. Point is still valid somewhere, 560ti has like 380? something?. 570 has 480.
I would go for the 6970, but I do some 3D stuff aswell as photoshop (main use is gaming, however). I thought (I might be/probably am wrong) that nvidia had a reputation for having a better performance when it comes to that kind of thing.
I'm pretty much settled on a 570 now, unless there are any major reasons I should go for the 6970.
Thanks for the help, by the way.

IMAGE CROP FAIL
Your image cropping is substandard, at least tell us which card is which?
If you can afford the 570 then I'd go for it (and consider a 6970). I've always been of the opinion of buying as much brute force as possible for your money when it comes to gfx cards
In that case 460 SLI would be better as it has more brute force
If the programmed te op uses support cuda then an Nvidia card would be the best option

This may be the case.. I forgot to mention however that my opinion has changed slightly since I upgraded to a 4870x2, and that I feel crossfire is a pain in the *** to get consistent performance across a library of games and that only a single card be considered
