Hey guys, what do you think is the best card for under $200 currently (Mainly talking newegg).

Any feedback is appreciated.

I'll consider that, but any thoughts on the cards that are default priced under 200?

GTX560 or HD 6870. No comparrison though to the 6950.

Keep in mind new cards will be coming out very soon and these prices will drop. However you failed to mention what cpu or power supply you have, so any recommendation for you would simply be a guess as to whether you could use it or not without a bottleneck or psu replacement.

I'm using a Phenom II x6 1100T, and my power supply is a 550 Watt from antec but I could easily buy a new one so I'm not concerned about it.

When do you think the new cards will be coming?

Also I'm upgrading from a HD5770 so I'd also like to consider the amount of "upgrade" I'd be getting from these cards.

Thanks.

Last week this was $5 more than ya budget (tho it came w/ free Batman game) but it tops anything mentioned so far ..... unfortunately this week it's $15 over ya budget and no game included

Looking at the list below, I'd say ya choices come down to the bolded ones.

6870 gets 434 fps / 701 in CF for $170
6950 gets 479 fps / 751 in SLI ) for $210
6950 Frozr OC gets 484 fps / 759 in SLI for $240
560 Ti not worth mentioning as factory OC'd ones same price
560 Ti - 900 Mhz gets 495 fps / 862 in SLI for $215

All data from Guru3D game test suite

Do you think it's worth getting the 560Ti now or waiting?

Does anyone know when the new line of cards is coming?

At that price and upgrading from a 5770, a decent upgrade would be at LEAST a 6870/560ti

If your playing battlefield 3, the stock 6870 and 560ti run neck and neck while the stock 6950 destroys the stock 560ti at 1920x1080. All the cards are very overclockable.
