It's probably been asked before but I can't find a thread about it here (or anywhere else really) specifically comparing these two cards.
Thinking about pulling the 5870 from my gaming rig, and replacing it with an nVidia card. Not interested in triple monitor gaming, nor in SLI or Crossfire. Currently gaming at 1680x1050 but I might be moving to 1920x1080 in a month or two here if I get lucky.
Currently have an i7 2600K and a 750W Seasonic PSU to go with it, so I'm thinking that I should have plenty of juice available for the card.
From what I've read of various reviews, the GTX 560 Ti seems to trade blows with the 5870. For $250, not that bad of a deal...the GTX 570 would be nice but I'm not sure I want to drop $350 on a card (not after dropping $400 on the 5870 last year and then having to put up with a variety of driver problems).
Pretty much just interested in performance for ME, ME2, Crysis (original + Wars), Civ 5, the occasional Batman: AA, GTA IV, and Hot Pursuit.
Not sure when ME3 or Elder Scrolls 5 are coming out but I think by the time those come out I'll be in a better position to burn cash and get a more powerful GPU.
