GTX 560 vs 6870

[ingeborgdot]

I have really been looking at getting a GTX 560 but just saw some review that shows that 6870 to be faster. I don't know how reliable that is. Anyone care to lead me in the right direction that shows me otherwise? Thanks.

560Ti or 560?

Ti is leaps and bounds ahead of the 6870, regular 560 is not.

Just the 560 and I am not a gamer. I will be using it for video editing with Vegas Pro 11.

I'm getting 2 of the 6870 to crossfire because it is about $110 cheaper ($340 after rebate) and really close to the 560 Ti SLI which is $450. I don't want to waste $110 more for a slight performance increase. All the info I got was from NVIDIA GTX 560 Ti SLI vs AMD RADEON HD 6870 Crossfire Review - YouTube

I think after talking to some people they may have talked me into getting the 460 for a much cheaper price. The performance gain of the 560 is minimal compared to this one.
