Radeon 6870 or GeForce 560Ti

[KnightFlyer 41]

Hi guys I have the choice between a Radeon 6870 (for $139) or a GeForce 560 Ti (for $183). Is the performance that much better on the GeForce to justify the $40 premium? I'm also only gaming on a 19" monitor at 1280x1024.All i'm looking for is to get rid of the 'shimmers' on my Radeon 4870. Do the newer Radeons still have this problem?

Give this a try; most of the measurement nvidia scores betterhttp://www.anandtech.com/bench/Product/290?vs=330&i=187.188.190.191.192.193.194.195.196.197.199.200.201.202.203.204.205.206.207.208.209.210.211.212.213.214.215.216.217.218.219.220.221.222.224.225.226.227.228.229.230.231.232.233.234.235.238

Thanks janvaane. That helps me out a bit. I was looking more or less to see what people had to say about Image Quality. I'm really tired of the shimmers.The "shimmers" (check out the trees)http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2563/3854244001_3257b6fe35_o.jpg

Get the GeForce 560.. ATI/AMD/Radeon IQ is horrible in FSX, they don´t develop their GPU´s for this particular year 2000 Hog!

The 560 Ti is much better than the 6870 for FSX.
