GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 vs Radeon HD 6870

Intro

The GeForce GTX 560 Ti 448 comes with core speeds of 732 MHz on the GPU, and 900 MHz on the 1280 MB of GDDR5 RAM. It features 448 SPUs as well as 56 TAUs and 40 Rasterization Operator Units.

Compare all of that to the Radeon HD 6870, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core speed at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1050 MHz on this particular model. It features 1120 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (in units of MB per second) that can be moved across the external memory interface within a second. The number is worked out by multiplying the interface width by the speed of its memory. If the card has DDR type memory, it should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, HDR and higher screen resolutions.

Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum texture map elements (texels) that are applied in one second. This figure is worked out by multiplying the total texture units of the card by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher this number, the better the graphics card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels in a second.

Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. Pixel rate is worked out by multiplying the amount of Render Output Units by the the core speed of the card. 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 also depends on many other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the memory bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the max fill rate.

which graphic card should i use for gaming such crysis 2 running in a very high setting?

Get the HD 6870 Dual Fan
and then make a little overclock !

Hd 6870 is better than gtx 560 ti, because its cheaper than gtx 560 ti... Amd also make some features that in compatible to the nvidia graphic cards

SmileMan says:

the gtx560ti and the 448 version are better in games, better avg fps. HD6870 is better in performance, if AMD updated their drivers --> hd6870 would own this 2. But nvidea got superior drivers, so they can make more results with less performance. So if amd had drivers updated like that...

Then would they be the master with a big lead!
