    That is a great price for a gtx560ti, I could be tempted myself at that price but I really need a new case and cant do both..

    Is the 560ti on a par with the 6950? I am sure I read that they were somewhere.

    who's it for 0iD?

    I'd go 6950 over a 560 simplycos I can tell you for a fact, it's great... I have one now.

    Do I dare ask - 1GB VRAM or 2GB? Does it make any difference to high-detail, 1080x1920 gaming?

    I just changed from a 512Mb GTX9800 to an EVGA 1024Mb GTX560 which cost me 145 from Scan and the difference is phenomenal.

    Excellent value.

    You a bit behind the times.....that hasn't been doable for quite some time now.

    The 560Ti @ £160 is by far the best bag for buck. There is nothing between it and the 6950 (except the cheapest 6950 is 30quid more)...and nVidia do (currently at least) have the better driver release program.
