GeForce GTX 560M vs. Radeon Mobility HD6970M

[mavsfan642]

I'm currently looking at purchasing a new gaming notebook. In my research of the graphics card options, I've narrowed it down to these two. The problem I'm having is that I can't find anything that says whether one is actually better than the other. The 560M is DX11 compatible with 1.5g of GDDR5. The Radeon is also DX11 compatible but it comes with 2g of GDDR5. I've read that the performance of the Radeon can come up short compared to the 560M, but does that .5g of memory make the Radeon worth getting?

Looks like the 6970 handily beats the 560M. Only the 570M comes close to it (not including workstation level graphics cards).

Plus with more VRAM on the 6970 you should have better performance using higher resolutions as well.
