Hi,
I am looking to upgrade my graphics card for Christmas.

I've looked through several reviews comparing the GTX 570 and ATI 6970 and I'm stuck about which to get.

I mainly play valve games and bad company 2 but I will get Dirt 3 and Crysis 2 when they are released.

My current system:
i7 920 @3.6GHz
6GB RAM
Palit GTX 275
Asus P6T Deluxe V2
FSP Everest 85 700W PSU

These links are were i might buy from

If I was to get a GTX570 Which of the two brands would be best?

So which is the best for me?
Thanks

Sorry forgot to say, im running two screens both 1920x1080
 
Hello and welcome to the forums
GTX 570 and HD 6970 run neck and neck in almost all games.In lower resolution
GTX 570 is better;whereas,6970 does better on higher resolutions

"As for the Radeon HD 6970, it should be selling for $20 more than a GTX 570. Based on its display outputs alone, that makes AMD’s card worth the Andrew Jackson to me, personally. Otherwise, the two cards trade blows, with the GTX 570 faring better at 1680x1050 as AMD’s Radeon HD 6970 retains more of its performance at 2560x1600."
