HD6850 can be had for as much as 8.4k whereas the GTX560 cost a lot more. whichever you are going for, better wait for Keplar (aka GTX7**). That should reduce price of GTX560Ti to 560 level or at least make the HD7850 affordable.

^^^ he is talking about non-Ti version

OP get 6870 which perform close to 6950. If budget is a problem then get 6850 ... a really good card to handle present games

Bro, if you are serious about gaming and budget, then always go for AMD, AMD is better than nVidia at graphics at this time, so go for HD 6850 or for 6870 from either MSI or Sapphire...
