I would choose the 6870/6850 over the 560GTX.

The 560GTX consumes 49% ish more power for very similar performance, even in mainstream games which are almost always Nvidia optimised (biased).
Looking at hard-to-find benchmarks of non-mainstream games such as X3 Terran conflict suggest the 6870 has slightly better minimum framerates on average.
