You fixes doesn't matter that much, because mainstream is not about the crown, and there i different ideas about it too. The mainstream is all about price/performance-ratio. Specially for these cards that are so close to each other. I've already said at release date, and repeated later too, the final chapter of this round will be written in a price- war.

As it's, 560 is selling 10% cheaper than 6950, generally. At my big local dealer (in Norway, which always is updated on price and stock), the cheapest 6950 is 10% more than 560, and the most expensive 6050-2GB is 8% more than most expensive 560-2GB[/URL].
As it's, 6950 has lost the price war. This discussion started when I said, 6950 is dead practically, nobody would buy it, unless they drop the price sharply.
Here your price/performance:

Palit GTX560 1 and 2Gb : 212 and 252 euro vat included

http://geizhals.at/eu/?cat=gra16_512...=hd6950&sort=p

Sapphire HD6950 1 and 2Gb: 214 and 235 euro vat included

You say that HD6950 is lots the price war, this is you opinion, but in price/performance is well in battle, single cards and more in Crossfire vs Sli for better scaling.

I don't care for "crown", but I just pointed and fixed your power efficiency and performance of GTX560 vs HD6950.
