GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 6870
Intro
The GeForce GTX 560 has a GPU core speed of 810 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM is set to run at 1001 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 336 SPUs, 56 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6870, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 900 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory running at 1050 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 1120 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred past the external memory interface in one second. The number is calculated by multiplying the bus width by the speed of its memory. In the case of DDR memory, it must be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that can be applied in one second. This number is worked out by multiplying the total amount of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The better this number, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly write to the local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - also sometimes called Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel output rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the maximum fill rate.

Price range is the same and yet AMD won this one.
Im a Nvidia fan but I admit for price you should go with 6870.
AMD HD-6870 is far superior than gtx 560.on the other hand gtx560 is more expensive
These results are not accurate enough. All 560's are different. The current 560 i have is not the Ti but out-performs a 6870. Not being biased or a fanboy. I have experienced using a 6870 alone and in crossfire but the performance in games with the 560 is far better.

genius.
but i have experirnce using 6870cf can beat 580,,,lol

Having used both (a Sapphire 6870 and an EVGA 560), the 6870 seems to be superior in most applications, however, there are certain games (such as BF3 or Hawken) where the 560 outperforms the 6870.
My gtx560 is at 950mhz vs this 810mhz i got almost 20% OC on my card staple all day. voltage went from 1.012 to 1.050.
My 560 competes with a 6950 in most cases and i have physc
