I'm putting together a computer build that will be used primarily for work and gaming. I've found some video cards that are ~$200. Which of these is the best:

-EVGA GeForce GTX 560 SuperClocked 2GB --> http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX33579

-HIS Radeon HD 6870 IceQ X 1GB GDDR5 --> http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX37061

-Gigabyte Radeon HD 6870 1GB GDDR5 --> http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX35329

When comparing some of the specs of the GTX 560 and one of the 6870, I noticed that the 560 had less Engine Clock and Memory Clock. Is this enough information to confirm that the 6870 is better?
