ATI saves electricity on the long run
(lol) What are you talking about ATi Chips are Ancient, I havend used one in more than a year now. (LOLLLL)

Go with ATI
Nvidia epic sucks at mining.

Ewwww only go with ati if your on a budget, Pick a freakin AMD gpu
(im loling)

woah whats the reason for the massive difference?!
It's the # of Stream Proccessor Cores, And the fact that AMD doesnt WASTE their time on a Stupid Shader clock.
It's all about Raw GPUcore speed
Lol also, A $130 Radeon5830 gets 300mh/sec when overclocked, and roughly 275mh/sec when it's not

Yeah, architecture makes a big difference with mining.

They are designed in different ways with different priorities. (I wish I could be more specific or post a link to information, There was a TWiCH that explained it well) October 27, 2011, 10:40:34 PM

You can look it up in the chart here: https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
It won't load for me at the moment. But in all honesty comparing ATI cards to NVIDIA cards in terms of bitcoin performance is like comparing a GPU to a CPU.

ATI is always better for mining. See here (when the sites comes back): https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Mining_hardware_comparison
EDIT: here is the cached version. 6950 will give you ~360.62 Mhash/s and the 560 will give you ~75 Mhash/s

G'day
I'm looking at a gpu upgrade for games and also bitcoin mining amongst other things, the 6950 is the better of the two when it comes to games performance I've found but is about $30-$50 more expensive to what I can get a GTX 560 for around here. The drop in performance on the Nvidia is not that bad (about 5-10fps) and in some instances bests the 6950, and you have a saving of $50 there abouts?

Anyway how does the 560 rack up with bitcoin mining performance compared to the 6950? I take it the ati is still better based off the games benchmarks but won't be anything massive?
