Hey guy's I'm looking for a new graphic card for my PC for a while now, and I've chosen two that I like the most, the GTX560 and the Radeon HD 6850. I play a lot of games, such as Skyrim and Fallout and BF3, I need a card that will handle those games and more.

Also If I ever decide to use more then 1 monitor I would need a good card for that as well. However I do not want to spend money on something I regret buying. Could you guys tell me some pro's and cons about each card and recommend which one I should buy.

    DISCLAIMER: I work for AMD, in the Radeon division, but you can prove my statements yourself with research.

    The 6850 is not the competitor to the GTX 560, the HD 6870 is. The 6870 and the 560 are the same price at retail ($169 USD). The 6870 offers better performance.

    You should get the 6870.
