GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 6850
Intro
The GeForce GTX 560 comes with a GPU core clock speed of 810 MHz, and the 1024 MB of GDDR5 memory is set to run at 1001 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also features 336 Stream Processors, 56 TAUs, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6850, which comes with a GPU core clock speed of 775 MHz, and 1024 MB of GDDR5 RAM running at 1000 MHz through a 256-bit bus. It also is made up of 960 Stream Processors, 48 Texture Address Units, and 32 Raster Operation Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be transported past the external memory interface in one second. It's worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR RAM, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the bandwidth is, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, High Dynamic Range and higher screen resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per 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 the texel rate, the better the video card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory per second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is calculated by multiplying the amount of colour ROPs by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for drawing the pixels (image) on the screen. The actual pixel fill rate also depends on lots of other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the potential to reach the max fill rate.

[...] şi pe mine. Te lămuresc eu, dacă vrei. Citeşte aici şi aici. [...]
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.
