GeForce GTX 560 Ti vs Radeon HD 6950 2GB
Intro
The GeForce GTX 560 Ti comes with a core clock speed of 822 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1002 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 384 SPUs, 64 TAUs, and 32 Raster Operation Units.Compare that to the Radeon HD 6950 2GB, which features clock speeds of 800 MHz on the GPU, and 1250 MHz on the 2048 MB of GDDR5 memory. It features 1408 SPUs as well as 88 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of data (counted in MB per second) that can be transferred across the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR memory, it should be multiplied by 2 once again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The better the card's 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 can be processed in one second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number of texture units by the core clock speed of the chip. The higher the texel rate, the better the card will be at handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the most pixels the graphics card could possibly record to its local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of colour ROPs by the the card's clock speed. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for filling the screen with pixels (the image). The actual pixel rate is also dependant on lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to reach the maximum fill rate.

Are you serious with this?
Really, _three_ games?
And judging "fastest card" by counting the TOTAL FPS of those _three_ games?
Not to mention grabbing "power consumption" figures straight from "official specifications" which have little to do with real life.
Check TPU or some other site for proper benchmarks, including power consumption (hint: GTX560 Ti, is NOT faster, and in fact uses more power than 6950)
Agreed with Kaotik. This is possibly the worst comparison I've ever seen. Comparing FPS for three games, two of which have notable Nvidia bias (Dirt 2/Just Cause 2), and then declaring one is faster than the other based purely on tech specs... for shame. Real benchmarks consistently show the 6950 faster across the majority of games, which show just how accurate this comparison really is.
These comparisons are all automated based on database info. But I'll change the wording so it doesn't seem so 'declarative' or whatever.
The benchmarks are real, unless of course Tom's Hardware faked them... which I doubt
The power consumption figures have to come from official specifications, because it's rare to find sites testing power draw without reporting the total system draw... which can't be used to compare cards because they may have been tested in completely different systems. It's just impractical for comparing things on such a massive scale...
And I don't feel like typing up a disclaimer under every single heading.

stupid french people with their inability to speak english ... i traded my xfx hd6950 2GB for a gainward gtx560 ti... not happy about it, i have less fps in all games, especialy skyrim and bf3. im gonna get my old 6950 back today
Stupid english people that can't differenciate franch from other languages...
