GeForce GTX 560 vs Radeon HD 6850
Intro
The GeForce GTX 560 makes use of a 40 nm design. nVidia has set the core speed at 810 MHz. The GDDR5 memory is set to run at a frequency of 1001 MHz on this card. It features 336 SPUs as well as 56 Texture Address Units and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.Compare those specs to the Radeon HD 6850, which makes use of a 40 nm design. AMD has clocked the core speed at 775 MHz. The GDDR5 RAM is set to run at a speed of 1000 MHz on this card. It features 960 SPUs along with 48 TAUs and 32 Rasterization Operator Units.

Memory Bandwidth: Memory bandwidth is the largest amount of data (counted in megabytes per second) that can be transferred over the external memory interface in a second. It is worked out by multiplying the card's interface width by the speed of its memory. If it uses DDR type memory, the result should be multiplied by 2 again. If it uses DDR5, multiply by 4 instead. The better the card's memory bandwidth, the faster the card will be in general. It especially helps with AA, High Dynamic Range 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 number of texture units of the card by the core speed of the chip. The better the texel rate, the better the card will be at texture filtering (anisotropic filtering - AF). It is measured in millions of texels processed per second.
Pixel Rate: Pixel rate is the maximum amount of pixels that the graphics card can possibly record to the local memory in a second - measured in millions of pixels per second. The figure is worked out by multiplying the number of Raster Operations Pipelines by the clock speed of the card. ROPs (Raster Operations Pipelines - sometimes also referred to as Render Output Units) are responsible for outputting the pixels (image) to the screen. The actual pixel output rate also depends on quite a few other factors, especially the memory bandwidth - the lower the bandwidth is, the lower the ability to get to the max fill rate.

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.
