Well at 1070/1200(pretty easy) scores P5500( a little higher due the SB at 4.5ghz) in 3d11' and scores higher than a 6970 and a GTX 570 stock.
So i think that at 1050-1070Mhz it's almost equal to 6970.
So i think it's enough.
Probably at 270-280$ you will buy Hawk or SOC and with overclock you can get the stock performance of 6970 or GTX 570 for 70-80$ less.
And it's worthy because 6970 can overclock what 100-120Mhz?
So first signs are that GTX 560Ti is a great winner...Will see...
Ah, probably many will say that 6950/6970 are better because of the 2gb of memory in high rezolution and soo on...
Not true, to few people have 26-28" monitors to play at 2560*2048 rezolution, there are too expensive, 800-100$.
If you have that money, than you have money to buy a GTX 580 or a SLI of GTX 570 of CF of 6970.
So most of people use a 1980*1200 rezolution, and probably they don't use 8AA in all games.
So 2gb don't bring so much advantage, or may be if you can't use that advange why should you pay more?

Almost 5hgz , air.
still playing the fanboy here? Buy the card you need for the resolution you require, don't force it the other way around with OC and Fanboy talk! You can still choose the 6950-70 with 1GB memory i.s.o. the manually triple OC'ed 560, for only 30-40$ the hassle of oc, higher temperatures and power get real and for what able to reach the base performance of just a bit more expensive card (which on its own can also OC btw....)
If asus is going to 900 with there DirectCU version you won't see many cards with retail OC reaching 1000. Get real and quit comparing manually OC against retail performance, +95% of sales never OC any CPU or GPU. Only fanboys try to convince themselves they took the right decision. You'll get over that in a few years.
this is news section fyi where threads are created with launch, product information, scope and parts information. NV OC fanboy talk is here: http://www.xtremesystems.org/forums/...play.php?f=304
