Going to start to build my new gaming rig and cannot decide between these two. They are both at around the same price point I need <$280... I have seen benchmarks on how awesome the 6950 is in Crossfire and was pushing me a little bit towards it.

BTW I will be pairing whichever one I buy with a Intel i5 2500K and 8GB DDR3 RAM,

Thanks in advanced!

The 560ti is the faster card of the 2. It's typically quite a bit more expensive too. Either you've found a real good deal on one, or somebody is charging too much for the 6850.

Or did you mean 6950 1Gb?

Oh wow the 2GB 6950 is just $10 bucks more...might as well go for it. Might not see a difference in games now but will probably be useful in the future
