GTX - http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-Mini-HDMI-Lifetime-Warranty-01G-P3-1561-AR/dp/B004K1EUWO/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1344035412&sr=8-4&keywords=gtx+560+ti

6950 - http://www.amazon.com/Sapphire-DL-DVI-I-SL-DVI-D-PCI-Express-100312-3L/dp/B005X64QAG/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1344035464&sr=1-1&keywords=6950

----------
Set up:

Intel Core 2 Quad @2.5GHz
4GB RAM
Win 7

----------

I have a full HD monitor, so I'd like to game at 1920x1080 with a high rate fps.
Games include Skyrim, Day-Z, Amnesia.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

is there a specific reason why the one on newegg isnt up there instead of the amazon one?

i had them both. the 6950 2gig was better at higher res and settings.

I live in Ireland.
They won't ship to Europe.

I'd opt for HD 7850, it's more powerful than both:

Go for the GTX 560Ti 2GB version.

i see, the 6950 in general will be better on the majority of the games, except for the few games that are coded around nvidia cards(usually ones that have either physx or nvidia log in the game. examples of these are battlefield 3, metro 2033, borderlands and batman.)

Never even seen this one. I've already spent too long thinking about which card to buy.

I'm gona look into the 7850 now. Thanks for the link!
