Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the maximum amount of data (measured in megabytes 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 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 high resolutions.
Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum amount of texture map elements (texels) that are processed in one second. This is calculated by multiplying the total amount of 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 handling texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels applied in a second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip could possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The number is worked out by multiplying the number of ROPs 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 output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, most notably the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the maximum fill rate.

how many has nvidia payed u ?
@krissi
lol..
Neither nvidia nor Ati pays them..
If u look at each card's specifications then its clear tht HD 6950 is Faster than 560 Ti..
But while dealing with fps..
The specification doesn't matter alot..
What matters is the real life performance and its clear tht 560 ti is an Excellent choice cz it consumes less power and cn run any game at 1080p W/O Sli...
Although New games look alot better on 6950 but it depends upon what u prefer,,
Quality or Performance..:-P
Same as always, nvidia more FPS for $$$, but ATi cheaper filtering performance, it's a toss up: performance vs. picture quality
The biggest question:
Which one can I get cheaper?

@ch3rok33jo3 das mit den neuen Spielen das die Bei der 6950 besser aussehen woher willste das wissen??? ich habe schon 100derte
Videos gesehen von der gtx560ti und auch viele von der 6950 kein unterschied 560ti grafikks sind mindestens so gut wie von der 6950
die gtx 560ti nimmt jedes spiel durch ! auf ULTRA AUFLÖSUNG 1920x1080 OHNE IRGENT WELCHE LAGGS Das ist Tatsache
und die Radeon hd 6950 ist auch gut
Well i have nothing to complain about. I own a MSI 870A Fuzion Power Edition Motherboard.It plays Both AMD and Nviida Cards simultaneously.So i have nothing to complain about.But i do want to pick between which is better for my system.I just bought a HD 6870 an was trying to find a balanced card an apparently this is the closest one.So i could use some advice on this card.

I have noticed that both Nvidia and AMD are heading over the 1GB of VRAM side of the ball park which actually makes very little difference in 99.99% or games, and even in games that is does its minuscule and only really noticeable at ultra-high resolutions.
I'd still get the 6950 since it can be unlocked to a 6970 and it'll be 20% faster than the 560Ti.
Damn I have the (asus) nvidia gtx 560ti but I like ati 6950 I buy the nvidia qzz there wasn't the hd 6950 in the stor......
Physical size of the cards might be something to consider as well. GTX 560 Ti has a shorter length than the Radeon 6950 1GB. Check your computer case for room!
Availability is always an issue. I can find many kinds of GTX 560 Ti but it seems the Radeon 6950 1GB has been discontinued.
Regardless, both cards are very good. They're "only" 1GB, but almost every monitor/TV made after 2010 is capped at 1920x1080. Older displays capable of 1920x1200 will also be fine. It's only when 2560x1440 or multi-monitor set-ups come into play that memory may be a problem. Unless 256-bit bus-width starts appearing in future mid-end range cards, these are the most powerful 1GB graphics cards available. The 1GB GT 6xx and the Radeon HD 7xxx cards are weak.
Also, Guru3D has a nice comparison of the two:

This is the most misleading comparison of HD6950 - it is faster in the majority of games, this is BS, pure nvidia BIAS... LAME
560Ti social edition 6950 much better
