    560Ti or 6950

    Which one is better as they are both pretty much the same price point at around £200.

    They're as good as each other. Some games benefit one, others the other.

    Re: 560Ti or 6950

    Doesn't the 6950 flash to a 6970 ?
    Society's to blame,
    Or possibly Atari.

    Re: 560Ti or 6950

    There's a chance that it will. It's a gamble on a new card..

    Re: 560Ti or 6950

    Depending on the reports all over the internets it's more likely to unlock than not

    Re: 560Ti or 6950

    I noticed there is a 2Gb version of the 560 now, does anyone know how well it compares with the 6950? Had a search around and I can't see any reviews for it as yet, at least not any I can open at work anyway.

    Re: 560Ti or 6950

    MSI 6950 2g version is 190£ now on Scan, which would be a good choice with 2g RAM when the cheaper 560 ti 2g is around 230£.
