They both perform on the same level (sometimes the 6970 is faster). I'd go with the 6970, but what is the $ price of the two (just want to know so I can recommend other gpu's).

Ok, well here's a card that will outperform both for $174 (also comes with two free games) - http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814161404&nm_mc=AFC-C8Junction&cm_mmc=AFC-C8Junction-_-na-_-na-_-na&cm_sp=&AID=10446076&PID=3938566&SID=
