i never mean sli doesnt scale good. i mean 6970 sli performs better and reviews speak. but ok we will see with improved drivers in GTX560 review.
full hd is not ultra high end resolution buddy.
and why isnt that physx config recommended? i see nothing bad in that. 6950 can be further crossfired too with 240.
and i have to repeat because you are repeating.
i do not want to disrespect you at all and laugh at you and pass comments. i dont take your comments on heart either. this is discussion and i take it like that. ok sorry for that and please avoid taing it personal please.

i am not saying 6970 all the way. if user needs physx and cuda specific apps 570. but otherwise 6970 for gaming.
@somulesnar
how did you measure fps?
after seeing the 6970 thread in gfx card section you had same argument buddy.
i will quote this -
and this -
570 is good ocer. but everyone doesnt oc. so good option for overclockers though i fear temps of these high end cards when oced.(both 6970 and 570)

you see you were saying wrong. VLIW4 is future. also both are comparable cards. so if physx my support to 570 and otherwise 6970 due to win in more games in other reviews as well. 6950 + 240If we take a straight average at 1920x1200 and 2560x1600, its performance is more or less equal to the GeForce GTX 570. In practice this means that NVIDIA wins a third of our games, AMD wins a third of our games, and they effectively tie on the rest, so the position of the 6970 relative to the GTX 570 is heavily dependent on just what games out of our benchmark suite you favor. All we can say for sure is that on average the two cards are comparable.
Of the two the 6970 is going to take the edge on power efficiency
Whether you go with the 5870, the 6950, or the 6970, just keep in mind that the 6900 series is in a much better position for future games due to AMD’s new architecture.
And that brings us to the final matter for today, that new architecture. Compared to the launch of Cypress in 2009 the feature set isn’t radically different like it was when AMD first added DirectX 11 support, but Cayman is radically different in its own way. After being carried by their current VLIW5 architecture for nearly four years, AMD is set to hand off their future to their new VLIW4 architecture. It won’t turn the world upside down for AMD or its customers, but it’s a reasonable step forward for the company by reducing their reliance on ILP in favor of more narrow TLP-heavy loads. For gaming this specifically means their hardware should be a better match for future DX10/DX11 games, and the second graphics engine should give them enough tessellation and rasterizing power for the time being.
but the Cayman story is just getting started.
from toms hardware -
you see toms pick is 6970.As for the Radeon HD 6970, it should be selling for $20 more than a GTX 570. Based on its display outputs alone, that makes AMD’s card worth the Andrew Jackson to me, personally. Otherwise, the two cards trade blows, with the GTX 570 faring better at 1680x1050 as AMD’s Radeon HD 6970 retains more of its performance at 2560x1600.

Vickybat, you are sticking with PhysX and that's why you are so much complaining against Radeon. The thing is PhysX is nothing at all in all current generation games. If an experience person does not tell you what are the differences coming for enabling PhysX, you probably won't be able to see it actually.
I'm telling it because Batman Arkum Asylum and Mafia II both I've checked in my friend's machine @ 1440X900 resolution with a GTX285 and in my system with my 6870. Believe me, ico is right, the difference is so so small and not at all worth the FPS drop and reduced playability.
It does not worth even your fighting over here... :
Even at Tom's Hardware, they explicitly mentioned that if you have a Nvidia PhySX enable card lying on dust, then only go for PhysX. Otherwise... no need at all. They are highly technical site and they reviewed it quite well and the conclusion..Nothing for must have PhySX.
and this -
Some more from my observation : ( considering only single gpu setup )
12 Benchmarks : @ stock speed HD 6950 vs. HD5870
HD 6950 ( winner in 7 ) > HD 5870 ( winner in 5 )
The price of HD 5870 is lower but the power consumption is way too high anyway.
lowest prices ( as found on newegg ) :
HD 6970 $369.99 > GTX 570 $349.99 > HD 6950 $299.99 > HD 5870 $269.99 > ( GTX 470 $239.99 = HD 6870 for ref. only )
12 Benchmarks : @ stock speed HD 6970 vs. GTX 570
HD 6970 ( winner in 6 ) > 570 ( winner in 5 ) ( Tie 1 BFBC2 )
But In OC ( 2 Benchmarks ) : GTX 570 > HD 6970
and temp Results :
HD 6970 > GTX 570 ( lower is better )
Performance wise GTX 570 = HD 6970 ( according to benchmarks mentioned in this post ) but GTX 570 price is lower and also it runs a little cooler.
In DX11 titles : ( Total 7 )
HD 6970 wins 4 DX 11 title
GTX 570 Wins 2 DX 11 Title
DX 11 title Tie : 1 ( BFBC2 )
But when Oced GTX outperformed HD 6970 in BFBC2
HD 5870 Wins 4 DX 11 Title and HD 6950 wins 3 Dx 11 title
