Is this a good deal

[2fast4thetown_down]

I am interested in this card and as far as I know it is a great card and I saw microcenter had it on sale.

Is it a better deal than a $160 radeon 6870?

Here is the link

I am going to use it for high (1920x1080) resolution gaming and maybe movies in the future.

They are similar in performance so HD6870 and GTX560 should be the same price. This on the other hand is a great deal for GTX560Ti after MIR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814500196

No it is more powerful, what you listed was std GTX560 http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Palit/GeForce_GTX_560_2_GB/27.html
The one I linked to is about 20% higher performer OC GTX560Ti http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/Zotac/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti_Amp_Edition/23.html

but it is less powerful than the 6870

No about the same 20% performance increase over the HD6870 which is about equal with the GTX560 not "Ti"

It is out of my budget...is the 6870 a ggood deal for a 175 dollar budget?

 

[Deemo13]

The 6870 is a great deal for 175.

 

[rolli59]

Even better if you can get it for $150 after MIR http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814150561
