asus: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814121425

msi ($198)
Core Clock 750MHz
CUDA Cores 448
Effective Memory Clock 3900MHz

Memory Interface 320-bit

asus (235$)
Core Clock 900MHz
CUDA Cores 384
Effective Memory Clock 4200MHz

IF you have you are willing to spend $230 on a card, get a 7870 for $230

It is two tiers higher. Or get a 7850.

what about the effective memory clock? its far less than the 560s, will it make that much of a difference having less?

If you are gaming at 1080p, and you are spending $200+, go for a 2GB card. GTA 4 benefits from it as well as a few other popular games like Skyrim if you are using the high res texture pack, and BF3 runs a bit better as well.

Edit: Oh and to answer your question about the Effective Memory clock, the 7870 has a higher memory bandwidth. The 560Ti is about 128GB/s, the 7870 is about 153GB/s.

The 7870 and 7850 are both far stronger than the 560ti. You could also look at a 660 if you can find one for about $210.

No, that is overpriced, get a 7870. Maybe $220 would be worth it.
