Comparing these two cards

, spend the extra to get a 7870, the 560ti is last generation. and the 7870 will do atleast 40% better from what i hear

depends on what games you will be playing but i would go for the 560 ti

but both are good cards price wise the 560 ti wins though but you do know there sold out both of them

The Radeon HD 7870 is a bit faster (Memory bandwidth) -- it handles higher resolutions better, and processes textures a lot faster than the GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448.

The Radeon HD 7870 also uses less power, but it is more expensive than the 448.

i only plan on playing battlefield 3 at high settings i really can't tell the difference between high and ultra and yes i did get my hands on the 560 ti it'll come in on wednesday.

the only reason i'm asking is because i had that 7870 and just got a refund for it. i really think that the 560 ti i got for 150 is really really cheap compared to the 260 i paid for the 7870 before

When playing BF3, the Radeon HD 7870 is a lot better than the 448.
