GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 6850
Intro
The GeForce GTX 560 has a clock speed of 810 MHz and a GDDR5 memory frequency of 1001 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and makes use of a 40 nm design. It features 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare all that to the Radeon HD 6850, which has core clock speeds of 775 MHz on the GPU, and 1000 MHz on the 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 960 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (measured in MB per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This number is calculated by multiplying the total number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the video card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Raster Operations Pipelines by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - aka Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate is also dependant on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.

Radeon is much..much better..dx
rasta dumm? oder so mann siehts eindeutig das die 560 besser ist TAUSEND MAL BESSER bei alles
Bruder95 auch dumm? Dafür das die Radeon nur die hälfte kostet, ist sie Leistungstechnisch fast genau so gut. die paar texel und pixel machen minimal etwas aus. bei Spielen wie BF3 wird man den Unterschied etwas merken.
HOW THE f**K U CAME UP WITH THE IDEA THAT RANDON 6850 IS BETTER THEN 560GTX CAN4T U SEE THE BOARD
sex is good for anus
6850 core speed is infact higher than 775 usually depending on the brand is 790-820
On even modest o'clocks with the HD 6850, +11% core & +12.5% memory (860/1125), the 6850 posts: pixel fill @ 27.5GP/s, texture fill @ 41.3GT/s and mem' b/w @ 144GB/s. Bear in mind, i've brought the clocks down from the core:950/mem:1175, that i've been using for 3D gaming, just to demonstrate the incrdible o'clock potential the 6850 has. Obviously, YEMV. So it's a no-brainer .. if you want a very good card - out of the box, the GTX 560 is it. If you want an excellent o'clock candidate that has huge potential beyond its stock/factory settings? Than you probably wanna go with the HD 6850.
@SAM ... i think you and rilder should "hook up" ... you seem to think *alot* alike.
