Which Card?

[Steve M]

Simple question, which card is better:

HIS ATI Radeon HD 6870 1024MB (£131.99)

OcUK GeForce GTX 560 1024MB (£127.99)

This will be to play the latest games in an i5 PC with 8GB of DDR3.

Cheers in advance.

If you are referring to maximum frame rates, then the 6870 is better.

I think the HD 6870 is more comparable in performance to the 560Ti rather than the 560

Personally I'd say in comparison the 560ti and 6950 are on a more level playing field than the 6870 v 560ti.

Yes I am.
