If this JANG was b/w GTX 560 Ti or 6870 or 6950 I would've suggested go for GTX 560 Ti
else
6950 either 1GB or 2 should crush normal/simple GTX 560 like it wasn't even in the list..

Which card should I buy and any recommended brand?
Here is a priority list:

1. HD 6950 2 GB version
2. GTX 560 Ti
3. HD 6950 1 GB version
4. HD 6870

So choose between HD 6950 2 GB version or GTX 560 Ti.

The 2 GB video memory of HD 6950 will be more useful in gaming. GTX 560 Ti offers PhysX support. So both have pros and cons.

Sir, I want know about that "usefulness"
Mind telling us? Unlocking ko chor k..
Bro, you don't play games?

The applications which can utilize more then 1 GB of video memory will run better on HD 6950 2 GB. Simple.

Want further elaboration then let me know.

6950 or 560 Ti. It really depends on your taste (ATI vs NVIDIA), memory wise 2gb vs. 1 gb is more future proof. It is correct that 2 GB would currently come into play when you are running resolutions in excess of 1080p (HD), which is the case in multiple monitor setup. Right now because of this 6950 can give display to 3 monitors at a time, has switchable dual bios (even if one bios gets corrupted you can switch to second one instantly), 6950 can be unlocked to 6970 (not the option in new ones, i guess you have to find older model). All these options are non-existent in case of 560. However, budget wise 560 is much much better as it is inexpensive. Overclocked 560 would reach near the value of stock 6950 in performance and in price too! In the end 6950 is more future proof as games would undoubtedly be made which would require that additional vram, but who sticks around with a card for 3 years? very few indeed.
Tail piece: 6950 is huge and would required a mid tower casing at least, plus its heavy so you have to take that in account too. The choice is yours.

    Did y'all see the new Assassin's Creed trailer? They finally made a AC set in Japan & then they put a negro as the male protagonist. Ubisoft is taking cues from Disney, and it isn't gonna end well for them, just like Disney. Go woke, go broke!

    if we are moving towards more and more popular trash across platforms that make billions for companies, I'm happy with all the barriers and exclusivity because at least that brings some pressure to create good stuff.
