Compare any two graphics cards:
GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 6870
IntroThe GeForce GTX 560 comes with a clock frequency of 810 MHz and a GDDR5 memory speed of 1001 MHz. It also uses a 256-bit memory bus, and uses a 40 nm design. It is comprised of 336 SPUs, 56 Texture Address Units, and 32 ROPs.Compare those specifications to the Radeon HD 6870, which uses a 40 nm design. AMD has set the core frequency at 900 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1050 MHz on this specific model. It features 1120 SPUs along with 56 Texture Address Units and 32 ROPs.

Power Usage and Theoretical BenchmarksPower Consumption (Max TDP)
Memory BandwidthAs far as performance goes, the Radeon HD 6870 should theoretically be a little bit better than the GeForce GTX 560 in general. (explain)
Texel RateThe Radeon HD 6870 should be a little bit (approximately 11%) more effective at AF than the GeForce GTX 560. (explain)
Pixel RateIf using a high resolution is important to you, then the Radeon HD 6870 is the winner, though not by far. (explain)
Please note that the above 'benchmarks' are all just theoretical - the results were calculated based on the card's specifications, and real-world performance may (and probably will) vary at least a bit. Price Comparison

Display Specifications
Memory Bandwidth: Bandwidth is the max amount of information (counted in MB per second) that can be moved over the external memory interface within a second. The number is calculated by multiplying the card's bus width by its memory speed. If the card has DDR memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by ANOTHER 2x. The higher the card's memory bandwidth, the better the card will be in general. It especially helps with anti-aliasing, HDR and high resolutions. Texel Rate: Texel rate is the maximum number of texture map elements (texels) that can be processed per second. This is worked out by multiplying the total number 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 processed in one second. Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum number of pixels that the graphics chip can possibly record to its local memory in one second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is calculated by multiplying the amount of ROPs by the the core 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 lots of other factors, especially the memory bandwidth of the card - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the potential to get to the max fill rate.

Price range is the same and yet AMD won this one.
Im a Nvidia fan but I admit for price you should go with 6870.
AMD HD-6870 is far superior than gtx 560.on the other hand gtx560 is more expensive
These results are not accurate enough. All 560's are different. The current 560 i have is not the Ti but out-performs a 6870. Not being biased or a fanboy. I have experienced using a 6870 alone and in crossfire but the performance in games with the 560 is far better.

genius.
but i have experirnce using 6870cf can beat 580,,,lol

Having used both (a Sapphire 6870 and an EVGA 560), the 6870 seems to be superior in most applications, however, there are certain games (such as BF3 or Hawken) where the 560 outperforms the 6870.
My gtx560 is at 950mhz vs this 810mhz i got almost 20% OC on my card staple all day. voltage went from 1.012 to 1.050.
My 560 competes with a 6950 in most cases and i have physc
what is amazing 😀 this ppl who say that THEIR's GTX560 compete with hd6950 6990
They must have some alien GTX560 that is manufactured especially for those people 😀
i like nvidia card but when i see this result! i choise amd! why? it's more cheaper! and it's only have increased 1 WATT TDP! for that some performance increase and 1 thing is important is! the CHEAP PRICE!
Went from gtx 560 to amd radeon 6870.
The difference aren't as small as the chart describes.
The AMD over-performed the nvidia card by a landslide
