This is only partially true. On HD resolutions their performance (6950 vs. 560 Ti & 6970 vs. 570) is more or less the same. Turn on some AA and AF and Nvidia has the lead.

As a matter of fact, on some lower (below HD) resolutions 68XX family of cards is faster than 560 Ti.

The exception are CoD players and those using Eyefinity like yourself where those extra amounts of VRAM are really useful.

I think I was pretty clear in what I said. I guess you should re-read it.

Comments like Green camp is better than Red camp are meaningless. I will take what is better for the price I am willing to pay.

For CoD, 6970 is a great card. Thank you for providing us with info on how it runs.

You can't argue with religion man The ATI cards are absolutely fantastic, doesn't matter what some folks say. Right now they have some amazing cards out not least of which is the 2GB 6970 which I will be buying real soon. I currently have a 5850 which runs any game out there at Eyefinity resolution no problems. I paid $200 for the card. How can you not love that?
