Currently looking at MSIs line of video cards on Newegg, more specifically the gtx570 ($355) and the hd6950 ($290). I've done some research and according to hwcompare.com the gtx 570 performs roughly 20% better then the 6950. I currently have an msi 5770. Personally I'd like to go for the 570 but i don't know if the $60 difference is worth the performance. I do plan on keeping either one i get for as long as i can without having to upgrade, so i want to choose the card that will give me the longest use.
Here is my setup if it makes a difference to either card
Phenom II X4 965
ASUS Crosshair IV Formula
8GB DDR3 (1333Mhz)
Corsair TX650 Power Supply
