I could get either, but which one?

Also, why can't I find GTX570 Super Super Clocked or FTW versions?

There's a Gigabyte Super Overclocked (http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814125382) on newegg.

845Mhz core, 1690Mhz shader.

I don't really have a preference to Nvidia Vs AMD. The 6950 should be much cheaper, but the 570 should be a bit faster. If you fold then generally Nvidia, but if bitcoins are still popular those were leaning towards AMD. AMD can do single card triple monitors, while Nvidia you would need to SLi. But the 6950 could unlock to essentially the same speeds as the 570. Shrug.

Lol... I think you would be better off comparing the 6970 to the 570 imho... They seem to hover around the same price point and performance
