    Hey guys, it's upgrade time for me!

    I've looked around and the decision is very much split on these two cards I'm thinking about.

    I'm mainly running my PC for gaming, image editing and work.

    So what's your opinion on these two cards, which is more value for money?

    Sapphire HD6950 2GB or EVGA GTX560ti 2GB?

    Cheers!

    imo the gtx560 is the better chip but has less memory. I havent bought a gpu for a while but retailers use to use cheaper chips but put more memory on because they can say it is a 2GB card where as the 1GB card will out perform because it is faster. Of the two I would prob go for the GTX560. I would wait for some other opinions before buying though.
