    Out of the 2 the 560ti is faster. The real question should be 6950 or 560ti since they are more evenly matched.

    Haha yeah its probably true everyone building a PC right now is doing it because of bf3 :D

    Like Parge said, 560Ti is more comparable to a 6950. I've got the same decision to make soon, and am edging ever so slightly towards the 6950 at the moment.

    Also I've got a question for you, has paying the slight premium for a white fractal design been worth it? They look cool in the pictures..

    My 2 560Ti rip through games. Normally I do NOT have SLI enabled because I'm folding. (well trying to with the crappy driver) But either in SLI or single, they rock. I have 0 lag with playing and of the Total War's or Crysis 2 on high. I can do SLI and play Crysis 2 on uber settings.

    So if you can afford it, get the one you would want to have a 2nd of.
