[Anandtech.com] AMDâ??s GTX 560 Ti Counter-Offensive: Radeon HD 6950 1GB & XFXâ??s Radeon HD 6870 Black Edition

News · 26-01-2011, 01:30 PM

Today was originally supposed to be about the newly released GeForce GTX 560 Ti – NVIDIA’s new GF114-based $250 video card. Much as was the case with the launch of AMD’s Radeon HD 6800 series however, AMD is itching to spoil NVIDIA’s launch with their own push. Furthermore they intend to do so on two fronts: directly above the GTX 560 Ti at $259 is the Radeon HD 6950 1GB, and below it one of many factory overclocked Radeon HD 6870 cards.

As a result today we're looking at not only the GTX 560 Ti, but also AMD's counter-offensive. Amidst the backdrop of a product launch brought in by nearly a month, we'll see how AMD's counters stand up to NVIDIA's latest, and why for many situations a 2GB Radeon HD 6950 is no better than a 1GB Radeon HD 6950.
