ATI versus NVidia

So if my upgrade choice is between, say, a 6950 2048MB and a 560Ti 2046MB, I'm minded for the former. I only run a 1280x1024 monitor.

If you run a smaller monitor, you'd probably not be able to use 2 gigs of VRAAM. The card which would give you better performance at 1280 X 1024 would not necessarily be the best at higher resolutions, which is where you need more video memory. Clock speeds may be more important at lower res.
