Radeon HD 6950 VS gtx 560ti 448 core????

[otsoloffufgus]

Hey everyone!

I was wondering what would be a better video card, the radeon hd 6950 or the gtx 560ti 448 core?
heres my other specs :
Intel core i3 2100 @ 3.10ghz
Radeon hd 6850
Antec VP 450w PSU
1tb HD
I am going to be playing games like far cry 3, skyrim, GTAV..... Im on a tight budget so i cant really afford anything more than around 200$
thanks

Neither i would get a 7850. 7870 if you can stretch budget a little

You should go for a current-generation card. The best choice for your budget would be a Radeon HD 7850. Solid performer, good performance for its price.

I had a look on NewEgg (assuming you're a US/Canadian resident), and this would suit well:

Buy one of those two cards.

They are faster than the ones you suggested and also faster than the one apocalypsing linked.

Pick whichever you like you can't go wrong with either one.

I would wait for the next-gen cards i.e 8xxx series and 7xx series as the 6850 is still an ok card and i don't feel you will benefit as much for the cost of a 7850
