right so when it dosent come down to who can spend the most money which of the mid range cards by themselves not sli or crossfire would run it the best

At the upper end of mid-range, probably a 560. Lower end of mid-range, a 460.

Don't touch a 465 ever. Utter garbage, shouldn't have been made.

And is there a reason you would pick the 560 ti or is it just because you like nvidia

Theres a current batch of benchmarks I just found, and it's a close race, but nividia GPUs can be bought through EVGA, with good warranty that includes OC damage.

That sways my preference quite a bit.

wow yeah it even beat out some of the oc ones interesting but its really close. btw xfx offers a great warranty on either card

the one thats offers best $$$ performance

6950 raqes 560 -.-
no such thing as ati anymore
and crytek+nvidia are bff

You got you're info mixed up.

The 560 ti is one hell of a performance card, it sits performance wise with the 6980 actually.

Benchmarks show that the 500 series take the over all lead over the 6000 series.

Personally, i dont care which brand i use, as long as i am happy with a product.

With that said, there are applications where ati is better than nvidia, and vice versa.

Do you're homework, check the stats, buy what you feel happy with.....it is YOU'RE money you are spending, who cares if someone else says this brand is better than another, just because one user is happy doesn't mean that you will be happy as well.
6870 is pretty much on par with 560
6950 raqeS IT ALL DAY LONG IN EVERY SINGLE GAME
560 is not a good buy right now it needs to be 30bux cheaper
you either buy a 6870 or step up to 6950 then you step up to 570

Nvidia+3dfx= Owns Ati

Voodoo3 3000 FTW!

longtime pc gamers will know what I mean.

the 6950 does not beat the 560 in every game look at benchmarks there neck and neck

6950 beats it in EVERYTHING except fc2
you freakin mofos thinkin about the 6870 -.-

this one and many others like it show that cards depend on the game

I like my Asus ENGTX 470 1GB

Looking for the fastest single graphics card? Look no more, Radeon HD 5970 after 1.5 years is still dominating the market as the fastest graphics card. It's one amazing card. Although if your looking the best performance on 2-3 cards in sli/crossfire you should pick the 580gtx. (Although it's gonna cost you quite alot).

580gtx > 5970

No no, it's like this.

5970 > 580gtx
580gtx2 > 5970 2
I guess that some people just have never been that good when it comes to maths.

Ati change to AMD radeon

i have the gts250 and the demo playing really well

6950 is better than 650

Nvidia.....mainly because I've always had Nvidia x)
Never tried the ATI card

There's almost no difference in them at all. I don't care what the fanboys say, but it's true. I used to have nVidia then I built a new PC with a better AMD card.

6990 > 580

PS: for now ;p

I don't game very much on my PC anymore since I bought the 360 but I've owned an Sapphire ATI Radeon 4850 HD for 2 years now and it's run everything I've thrown at it with 4GB of memory and an E8400 processor @ 3.0GHz. I love it!

Note: I have no experience with NVIDIA so this is quite biased lol.

6990 > 580

PS: for now ;p
Nothing New. Even my year old 5970 > 580
It's just sad to c that my card ain't the fastest no more
6990 > 5970

All the ATI cards i've had have died within a month, I have 6 Nvidia Cards in different computers, they all still function perfectly.

I have- 4 TI, 5700, 6600 GS, 7600 GS, 8800 GT, and a GTX 260 Maxcore 55 OC.
