Guys,

upgrading my Cyberpower i760 system.

Xion Predator case
Core i5 760 (not overclocked)
MSI H55-e23 Mobo
4 GB DDR3 1333 ram
currently rocking out a "wonderful" HD 5450 which is the part i'm looking to replace
upgraded already to a Corsair TX650.

I'm obviously relegated to 1 PCIe card as the mobo doesn't have 2 PCIe slots.
I'm looking at the Gigabyte GFX 560ti OC edition or a AMD Radeon HD 6950 but since i'm looking at playing the new The Old Republic MMO when it comes out i'm not sure which brand will perform best. I may wait a month to see if prices drop as I have no immediate need since i'm playing some older games right now. Any help would be appreciated.

the main question is whether a BIOware/lucas arts game would be more AMD/radeon or NVidia friendly? anyone know anything? I looked for Bench Marks for prior games and havn't seen any clear answers.
