You're the expert around here, you should be advising us, not the other way around!

TI has faster clock speeds, so that unless you plan on overclocking.

I have the ati 6950 and I run everything at max settings. Ran me about $250 so I believe anything over that is kind of pointless.

I think that nvidia cards will are going to pull way ahead though when games start using Cuda and PhysX more than they do now.

Edit: You flashed your card to a 6970 aswell which is a $350-400 card, you cant do that anymore.

I didnt flash mine. Left everything in my system stock after I realized nothing could tax it in the least.

That will put me between 570-580 performance with more V-Ram then the 570.

Call me biased but have you given the 560TI SOC consideration? It certainly beats the hell out of the $570 at a lower price point.

I run a dual monitor setup so the extra V-Ram at higher resolutions will kick the shit out of the 560 Ti in my setup. Not at all saying its a bad card but for my particular setup the extra V-ram is worth it and its about 10% faster than the Ti when its OC'd to 1100mhz which is easy to do apparently. If i was running standard resolutions it really wouldn't be worth getting the 6970 over the Ti.
