As i don't see the 560 at 480 level ( so 570 level ), im not really sure you will see a bad fight allready between 560 & 6870 ... let's alone the 6950 1gb, the card will be largely covered between the new 6870's and the 69501gb.
I have owned and benched both a 6870 and a 5870 in the same system in a direct comparison and thats flat out wrong... the only thing i could get the 6870 to win in was Heaven extreme tess but a stock GTX 460 beat both of the 6870 and the 5870 anyways.

you also seem to forget the GTX 470 OCs MUCH MUCH better then a 5870 or 6870...

also did you not see the 3DMark11 numbers of the 1GHZ core where almost on par with a stock GTX 480 so if you can show me a bench were an OCed 6870 is any-ware near as fast as a GTX 480/570 then maybe I will believe you.

the biggest threat the GTX 560 will have will be the HD6950 1GB but I am willing to bet the 560 will be a decent bunch cheaper. IMO AMD will need to drop the 6870 to $200 or under. which would be totally awesome for everyone...
