Well, HD 6950 2 GB has slightly better performance than GTX 560 Ti and also has lesser power consumption. But GTX 560 Ti runs cooler than HD 6950 and some of the custom Cooler and factory overclocked versions are available in cheaper price than HD 6950.
My suggestion is MSI HD 6950 2 GB Twin Frozr III @ 15.3K. It has custom PCB design and Twin frozr III cooler and it is also factory overclocked. Due to its custom PCB design, it has little lower power consumption than the reference version and it runs lot cooler than the reference HD 6950 and can be pushed more for overclocking.

But if your budget is less then get the MSI Hawk GTX 560 Ti, available @ 14K. It has custom cooler and it is also a factory overclock version, hence providing better cooling and overclock potential.

Could you tell us what brand of HD 6850 you are getting. Twin Frozr II 560 Ti @ 12.5K is a good deal but @ 13.8K, HD 6950 2 GB is also a better deal.

12.5 is an excellent price for 560-Ti twin frozr II. At 13.8k for 6950 2gb, i guess its the sapphire one. Get the 560-ti hawk @ 14k instead. Its a powerful card with 950mhz core speed (factory overclocked) and twin frozr III cooler.

Hi guys, I am too planing to get one of these. I am very confused.

6950's pros
1. Better than 560ti when stock.
2. Chances of unlockability to 6970.
3. Lower power consumption.

560ti's
1. Great at overclocking.
2. Physx (How much difference does this make?)

So which one according to you guys is better. Please do not post fanboy comments. I am no fanboy and only buy the products which offers best bang for the buck. I only play at 1080p.

Thanks in advance

1. Better than 560ti when stock.
2. Chances of unlockability to 6970.-ONLY REFERENCE DESIGN CARDS.BUT THEY RUN HOT.IF U ARE GOING FOR 1, GO FOR THE POWER EDITION TFIII.
3. Lower power consumption.

560ti's
1. Great at overclocking.--CAN REACH UPTO GTX 570 PERFORMANCES
2. Physx (How much difference does this make?)--NOT SUPPORTED BY MANY GAMES BUT A SIGNIFICANT AMOUNT OF DIFFERENCE IS SEEN WHEN PHYSX IS TURNED ON IN SUPPORTED GAMES.IT DOES TAKE A BIT OF A TOLL ON THE PERFORMANCE BECAUSE THE CARD HAS TO RENDER THAT MUCH MORE.

So which one according to you guys is better. Please do not post fanboy comments. I am no fanboy and only buy the products which offers best bang for the buck. I only play at 1080p.

I suggest u go for the 560ti tfIII.great vfm for the reasons mentioned above @ 13.8k.if u have a k and a half more to spend,get the 6950 tfIII.but it cannot be unlocked.also 1GB is more than sufficient for gaming at 1080p for almost all games.also if u want to play at the absolute maxed out settings of AA with textures ,then u can go for the 6950TFIII 2GB.

Not that cheap in Kolkata. I've verfied the price two weeks back while purchasing the Sabertooth. There is a high chance, OP is referring to the Non Ti version of GTX 560

I don't know about AMD cards... But I must say that PhysX does make a difference in games.. The difference is very noticeable in Mafia II and Crysis 2.. Check it out..
