Graphics Performance List

^benchies I've looked up show it trailing by a margin. But I'm undecided whether it's better or worse than a 480. Looked up a few benches just now, almost seems they're dead even.
 
I'm going by Anandtech's benches.
Against the 570, it won 3 benches, tied 3 and lost 3.

Our concern was that AMD would shoot themselves in the foot by pricing the Radeon HD 6970 in particular at too high a price. If we take a straight average at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600, its performance is more or less equal to the GeForce GTX 570. In practice this means that NVIDIA wins a third of our games, AMD wins a third of our games, and they effectively tie on the rest, so the position of the 6970 relative to the GTX 570 is heavily dependent on just what games out of our benchmark suite you favor. All we can say for sure is that on average the two cards are comparable.
