Which is better for video converting?

[robertg231]

I'm planning on buying a hd 6870 or a gtx 560
I know both cards are on par at gaming so I'm going to choose one based on their performance on video converting?
which one is faster at it?

as far as video covert goes, to the best of my knowledge that's mostly CPU based?
