560 Ti vs AMD's offering

[natthewu]

I like AMD more but i found a 560 ti for $200 after rebate

Would this be a better option than an 6870? or is it worth it if i only need 1080p?

Hi NattheWU.

What resolution panel are you running?
*** me sideways Microcentre's search function is pathetically inadequate. Cannot find a damn 6870.

(All searches for HD 6870, 6870, 7850 etc all give me this: http://www.microcenter.com/single_product_results.phtml?product_id=0386358 Useless.)

Check price on 7850 = 560ti

The GPU's seem to jump from 7870 to 7770, nothing inbetween lol. However, the exact card is the same price on Newegg, and I like Newegg a lot better. Also, you should look at the price before rebates, because you'll be out of that 30$ for a good few months, so it's better to just compare regular prices. That card is 230$, might as well get a 7850.
