Which is better radeon hd 6950 2gb or gtx 560 2gb

You want phsyixs or eyefinity?

What's your monitor resolution? If it's 1920x1080 or lower, stick to 1gb.
You mean 560 Ti. The plain 560's not as good.

What resolution are you gaming at? The 560 2gb card does no better in benchmarks than the 560 1gb in resolutions 1920x1080 and lower. It just doesn't need the extra vram. Plus a gtx560 has barely enough GPU to play @1920x1080 with good settings comfortably. Where I could see a use for that vram is 2 x 560 2gb with nvidia surround.

The 6950 is much more powerful than a gtx 560.

I'm assuming the OP means 560 Ti, which trades benchmarks with the 6950.

That's what I assumed. If its indeed a non-ti then yeah 6950.

There's a 560ti 2gb?? Where?

There is one, but as has been said, it's not worth getting at 1920x1080.

You decide:

Guru3D uses the following games in their test suite, COD-MW, Bad Company 2, Dirt 2, Far Cry 2, Metro 2033, Dawn of Discovery, Crysis Warhead. Total fps (summing fps in each game @ 1920 x 1200) for the various options in parenthesis (single card / SL or CF) are tabulated below along with their cost in dollars per frame single card - CF or SLI:

Reference Models
$ 220.00 6950 (479/751) $ 0.46 - $ 0.59
$ 205.00 560 Ti (455/792) $ 0.45 - $ 0.52

Factory OC'd models
$ 240.00 6950 Frozr OC (484/759) $ 0.50 - $ 0.63
$ 215.00 560 Ti - 900 Mhz (495/862) $ 0.43 - $ 0.50

From the above, Id say if ya getting a "reference model", as a single card, the 6950 (479 fps) has a 24 fps advantage.....if ya get the factory OC'd models, and why not given the pricing, it's virtual tie, with the 560 (495 fps) having a teeny 11 fps lead.

If SLI or CF in the future, it's the factory OC'd 560 in an easy 100+ fps win w/ 862 fps.

But as was said above, at 2560 x 1600 Id do the 2GB 6950.

This one would be my choice

Is the 2win (dual gpu 560 ti) dual 2GB's? Or is it two 1gb's listed as 2gb like the 5970? Tri 560ti 2GB's would be a bitchin surround set up.

It's shared, listed like the 5970.

I've had them both. get the 6950 2gig card.

ONLY for resolutions over HD.

my resolution is 1024*768

6950 relies on sheer amount of spu's. This should make it more stable than the 560 in graphically intense moments on games. You'll have to get two 560's if you want to run at least 3 monitors. 6950 is the better choice for the price.
